5.1 Magnitude Earthquake Shakes Southern California

A 5.1 magnitude earthquake shook the La Habra area of Southern California tonight and was felt around the LA region. Nope we didn’t feel a thing up here in Silicon Valley. Not a thing, At least not yet. These recent earthquakes could indicate that the San Andreas fault and the Pacific Plate are becoming active again.

No successful Silicon Valley startup has as of yet come up with a way to really predict earthquakes.

Guess we’ll see…

Here’s the shakemap from the USGS:
