My Way News - Magnitude-4.8 earthquake shakes Yellowstone park
My Way News reports: "The U.S. Geological Survey says the magnitude-4.8 earthquake that shook
northern Yellowstone National Park is the strongest there since 1980.
But the Sunday quake was still considered relatively light, and its
location didn't raise concerns about the park's supervolcano, which
experts say has the potential to erupt with a force about 2,000 times
the size of Mount St. Helens and would have worldwide effects."
My Way News - 7.5 quake on California fault could be disastrous
My Way News reports: "The Puente Hills thrust fault, which brought Friday night's
magnitude-5.1 quake centered in La Habra and well over 100 aftershocks
by Sunday, stretches from northern Orange County under downtown Los
Angeles into Hollywood - a heavily populated swath of the Los Angeles
area.
A magnitude-7.5 earthquake along that fault could prove more
catastrophic than one along the San Andreas, which runs along the
outskirts of metropolitan Southern California, seismologists said."
