Strong Earthquake Rocks Southern California

By Douglas V. Gibbs

At 4:53 pm I was driving on the freeway, and suddenly I felt like I had a flat tire. The car in front of me hit his brakes, and the car behind me steered onto the shoulder. After about fifteen seconds my steering returned to normal.

The earthquake measured 5.4 in magnitude, and was centered out in the desert, not far from Borrego Springs. The earthquake was felt throughout western Riverside County, Los Angeles, and San Diego.

This quake follows a smaller earthquake in the same area yesterday.
