We will not be getting phone calls from friends and relatives in other parts of the world on these little quakes we had this morning. At 4:45 we were awakened by a 3.8 temblor that apparently was in LaVerne, just four miles from Claremont and 3 miles north of Pomona. (I wonder why they don't just say where it IS, rather than what is is close to. LaVerne is really a place, guys.) Twenty minutes later we felt another one, probably the one that was 3.7.
Of course, I went to Facebook first when I woke up (because KVCR did not report any quakes), and people had already posted about it, so I knew that it had been close. It was a short, jarring shake. Then I turned on the local tv news, and there was a brief mention, but even the LA newsroom said that they had not felt it, so apparently it was not worth mentioning.
Oh, yeah, no damage, so not really a story. But it does serve as a reminder to us all about the nature of where we live!
