3.5 Richters Earthquake Strikes San Fernando Valley!!! ALSO: 5.5 Richters Strikes Out There In Islands Of Alaska Region

Lots of news stories posted by all the L.A. News outlets concerning the fact that this 3.5 Richters Earthquake struck at a rather shallow 1.5 miles which I suppose might explain the wide, wide felt report practically all over Southern California and I was even expecting Ventura County to show up in the list but as of this writing not a lot west of the Valley and it looks like Malibu and Santa Monica aren't even on the list, but pretty much everybody else is, here's the list of the big 3.5 and the few aftershocks there followed by the felt report:

0.9 7km NW of Pacoima, California 2015-11-05 05:59:37
1.1 8km SSE of Santa Clarita, California 2015-11-05 05:43:15
1.2 7km NNW of Pacoima, California 2015-11-05 05:41:26
1.3 7km NNW of Pacoima, California 2015-11-05 05:03:46
3.5 7km NNW of Pacoima, California 2015-11-05 04:58:54

Here's the felt report from that last one there on the above list, which actually happens to be the first one that shook there in that series and the more recent goes up from there. Here's the amazing felt report covering much of Southern California@ http://eqalert.blogspot.com/2015/11/35-richters-earthquake-strikes-san.html

Phone was actually ringing or chiming in the pocket of my blue-jean jacket as I was running through my local "Big Box" store picking me up some oil change kit stuff and as I hoped quietly for it to be a garden variety shaker, I opened the screen to see 5.5 oh. . .but then I spotted Alaska and could only wonder if it was bad or how big? Well, so far as of this writing here is that 5.5 Richters Earthquake and one aftershock but this just happened hours ago so expect more aftershocks from this series of medium sized earthquakes that struck 960 Miles West of Anchorage out there in the Fox Islands Region according to the map that I just looked at to get that mileage, here's the list:

4.7 84km SSW of Nikolski, Alaska 2015-11-05 19:31:17
5.5 87km SSW of Nikolski, Alaska 2015-11-05 19:09:55

This one just came in about an hour ago, a 4.1 Richters Shaker struck 50 or so miles north of Monaco, France and felt reports from that one will take some time, so for now just be watching that region such as probably Germany, Finland, Ukraine, Spain, etc. for more earthquakes. . . because they do get them up there in that region!

Good possibility there will be another exciting new edition of "Earthquake Minute" on Friday. . . but you'll have to tune-in between 4:15 and 4:30pm Central Standard Time to find out!!! CLICK Listen Live@ http://www.wortfm.org/ AND Thank-You All ahead of time for listening!!! I'll have updates if the show happens to go! And be back on Monday if nothing else shakes over this weekend. . . I'll be raking leaves!!! EQ Guy
