A new earthquake shakes southern California: third consecutive earthquake in the San Bernardino region
Southern California has once been the scene of a seismic phenomenon. At 2:00 in the morning, Eastern time, an earthquake of magnitude 3.7 was recorded at a depth of 10.6 km in the San Gabriel mountain region, as reported by the United States Geological Service (USGS). The epicenter was located only 6 kilometers north of Little Creek, an area designated by the census located inside the San Bernardino County, about 26 kilometers from the urban center of this Californian city.
This tremor has not been an isolated event. This is the third seismic event in a few days, after two previous movements of magnitude 3.5 in the same area. Although there have been no material damage or victims, residents of different parts of the region have notified to have felt the tremors.
Local authorities, in coordination with emergency agencies and geological surveillance, keep the monitoring protocol active. Although the magnitude of these fouls is not considered severe, their recurrence has lit the alarms among experts, who continue to analyze whether it could be the prelude to a major event.
California is one of the most seismically active regions in the world due to the presence of multiple geological failures, including the well -known San Andrés failure. Therefore, low and half magnitude tremors are not unusual, but repetition in a short period can have significant implications.
From TV business, we will continue to monitor any novelty that arises around this seismic sequence.
