A magnitude-5.1 earthquake centered south of Los Angeles shook
residents throughout Southern California and sent bottles and cans
tumbling off shelves in stores,
produced a rock slide that closed a road
and forced a brief shutdown of rides at Disneyland. There were no
reports of major damage or injuries, as cited in ABC News.
In the Orange County city of Fullerton, 20 apartment units and half a
dozen homes were red-tagged because of damage, displacing 83 people,
police Lt. Mike Chlebowski said.
Southern California Edison reported power outages to about 2,000 customers following the quake.
The temblor struck at 9:09 p.m. Friday and was centered near Brea in
Orange County, about 20 miles southeast of downtown Los Angeles, at a
depth of 5 miles. It was felt as far south as San Diego and as far north
as Ventura County, according to citizen responses collected online by
the U.S. Geological Survey.
More than 100 aftershocks followed, including a magnitude-3.4 that
hit Saturday morning. The main shock was preceded by two foreshocks
registering magnitudes 3.6 and 2.1, scientists said.
