- This week's Report covers the time period from midnight Thursday
- morning, March 2, Pacific Standard Time, to midnight
- Wednesday night, March 8, 1995, Pacific Standard Time. We
- recorded 244 earthquakes of M1.0 or larger during the 7-day
- period covered.
- We had a very quiet week this week. The only quake felt
- was a M3.0 in the northern part of the Northridge aftershock
- zone on Wednesday morning, which was slightly felt in the
- northern San Fernando Valley.
- The week's largest quake was a M3.4 just off of San
- Clemente Island last Thursday afternoon. We got no inquiries
- about it, since it was almost certainly not felt on the
- mainland.
- 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.
