3.5 Earthquake Quickly Jolts Valley

3.5 Earthquake in San Fernando Valley, Los AngelesYes, you are not crazy. A very quick 3.5 earthquake struck to the north of the Valley at 12:23 p.m. A quake last night in Peru, registering at 8.0, killed 450 and had aftershocks of 6.3. Today in the Solomon Islands was a 6.7 and a 5.3 in Japan (add to that a 5.3 in Hawaii a few days ago).

It may have been a dry summer, but Earthquake season might be upon us this fall.
