3.2 Earthquake Rumbles Near LAX

lax-earthquake.png A minor 3.2 quake struck near Los Angeles International Airport at 9:14 p.m., but caused no reported damage as of a half hour later, according to the LA Times. The earthquake was also located in the same general area of a few quakes that struck in May. A 4.7 rattler struck on May 17 followed by a 4.1 on May 19. These little quakes are always a good reminder to get prepared: store water, take CERT and take other measures (.pdf) to help make one of the potentially worst days of your life--when the big one strikes--a little better.

It was not felt on the north side of LAX. Maybe next time!

I live two blocks north of LAX and I felt it. Was just a small jolt.

I found out about CERT classes through LAist/Zach, and took them in May (thanks, LAist!) I highly recommend them. If you have taken them already, I highly recommend the CERT "refresher" drills, when you have the opportunity to put all you've learned in practice, and to ask questions to the pros (police, fire department, EMT, etc.)

The next CERT refresher drill is scheduled for August 16 in Sherman Oaks, 8:00-4:30, http://www.cert-la.com/refresher.htm.
