Today’s 4.1 was an aftershock of Sunday’s 4.7; expect more

The U.S. Geological Survey says that today’s 4.1-magnitude earthquake, centered near Hawthorne, was indeed an aftershock of Sunday night’s quake.
“It’s really close to where Sunday’s occurred,” says Morgan Page, a research geophysicist at the USGS. “It’s a pretty small earthquake. This will have aftershocks of its own.”
At Rosy’s Bakery and Cuban Cafe in Hawthorne, Dina Hernandez, wife of the owner, said she was pricing cakes when the earthquake hit. She ran out to the dining area to check on the customers.
“We felt it but not even our cups fell. We had a couple customers eating. They stood up, went to the door and panicked for a little bit. It happened so fast.”
At times like this, you can tell which facilities local police and fire departments are most worried about. In Manhattan Beach, Battalion Chief Ken Shuck says they checked Northrop Grumman and the mall, and everything’s fine.
“We had no 911 calls, and didn’t come across anything,” Shuck said. “It’s kind of scary, but it’s a good opportunity for everybody to practice putting their plans into place.”
At Raytheon in El Segundo, we hear the elevators in the parking garage are out.
