- --------------------------------
- This week's Report covers the time period from midnight Thursday
- morning, January 26, Pacific Standard Time, to midnight
- Wednesday night, February 1, 1995, Pacific Standard Time. We
- recorded 265 earthquakes of M1.0 or larger during the 7-day period
- covered.
- It was a relatively quiet week, still dominated by the
- Northridge and Lander/Big Bear aftershock sequences. Only two
- events were reported as felt. The first felt quake was a M2.9
- Northridge aftershock in the wee hours of Friday morning. The
- occurred at 5 am on Monday, in the Compton area, a M2.6.
- Isn't it nice that a random distribution of seismicity
- means that it is quiet sometimes?
- The table lists the quakes this week that were M2.0 or
- larger in the central part of the coverage area. Times are local
- times; if you want Greenwich Mean Time, add 7 hrs to the Pacific
- Daylight Time or 8 hrs to the Pacific Standard Time listed.
