Quake Felt in Los Angeles Area With Suspected Seismic Link

A substantial quake reaction was reported in the Los Angeles area after a tremor linked to a larger event in Asia. U S Geological Survey geologist Joe Lang noted automatic water stage recorders in San Antonio showed a rapid rise and fall in Edwards limestone, indicating a shock transmitted through the earth’s crust. Recorders near Beverly Hills and Kelly AFB captured the disturbance, with water levels shifting from 66.8 to 69.3 feet and back to normal over about 1.5 hours. Lang emphasized the need for further study and noted similar recordings in Mexico and Arizona.
