So where was this quake for us less informed types?
--Chuck
A 7.0 about 30 miles N of Joshua Tree (that is, about 90 miles
ENE of downtown LA). See
http://www.scec.org/
for more details.
According to the folks I know east of LA, the quake felt *much* bigger than the
'92 Landers Earthquake which was a 7.3 (and I personally rode out,
along with the Northridge quake a few years later.) Lots of stuff
thrown off tables and shelves.
Supposedly one of the I-40 bridges in Barstow is pretty badly damaged,
but still standing.
