The folks in Southern California got a big scare today from a 5.4 magnitude earthquake that struck shortly before noon local time. The residents in Chino Hills seems to have got the worse of this as this where the epicenter was located. The earthquake was also felt in the nearby areas of Los Angeles, Riverside and Palm Springs California. It is also being reported that the people in San Diego and as far away as Las Vegas, Nevada felt slight shaking from this Southern California earthquake.

I have never been in a earthquake before but it sounds like a very scary experience. The people that were in California today and felt this late July earthquake will remember this experierence for a long time. Most are describing that they thought a large truck was close by and soon after the noise and shaking became louder, they knew they were in a earthquake. The governor of California has told residents that he will use all of the emergency response units to make sure that everyone is safe and that all infrastructures are intact. Bridges and large buildings could be severely hurt from a earthquake like this. There are already 30 aftershocks from this earthquake that struck the Chino Hills, California area at around 11:42 AM on Tuesday that have been reported. The after shocks will probably continue for days and even weeks later as the Earth’s ground settles down from this earthquake. Hopefully the people of Southern California has seen the worse of this earthquake and things can get back to normal for the residents there. Just make sure you check your home and property closely if you live in this area affected by the 5.4 magnitude. Gas leaks are the most serious risk and make sure to notice for unusual odors that might be in the air. They do put a chemical in natural gas that will cause gas leaks to be noticed by people due to the smell that will be present in the air, when a gas leak occurs.
