Here I was, minding my own business, when my desk started shaking. Yep, there was definitely an earthquake felt here in San Diego county.
A look at the USGS website shows a 4.4 magnitude quake in the Los Angeles area, near Pasadena. This is fairly small, but it probably shook things up in the L.A. area.

And on the other side of the Ring of Fire…
Seismologists held an emergency meeting to analyze whether the quake had affected the nearby Nankai Trough — the source of past devastating earthquakes. The meteorological agency ultimately issued what it called a “mega earthquake caution,” assessing that the possibility of a large quake was relatively higher than usual but not that one would definitely occur in the near future.
