4.5 Earthquake hits Los Angeles area

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - A small earthquake hit the northern Los Angeles area just before 1 a.m. (4 a.m. EDT) on Thursday (August 9, 2007), waking residents across a broad swathe of the area, but there were no immediate reports of significant damage.

The 4.5 preliminary magnitude quake was centered 4.1 miles north-northwest of the suburb of Chatsworth, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. It was extremely shallow, at only 3 miles deep.

Residents reported a strong jolt, followed by a lot of shaking. Some said pictures fell off walls, water sloshed around in toilets, and television sets wobbled on cabinets. A police spokesman said the quake triggered hundreds of alarms.

It was followed by two aftershocks, both with a preliminary 1.6 magnitude.

Chatsworth is just six miles west of Northridge, the epicenter of the magnitude 6.7 quake that killed 57 people and injured more than 9,000 in 1994.

Strong quake jolts southern part of Java

Deutsche Presse-Agentur

Jakarta - A 6.0-magnitude earthquake struck the southern part of Indonesia's Java island Wednesday morning, but there were no immediate reports of injuries or damage, an official said.

The tremblor shook at about 5:23 am (2223 GMT Tuesday) and was centred in the Indonesian Sea 340 kilometres southwest of Cilacap district in southern coast of Central Java, said Anas, an official at the Meteorology and Geophysics Agency in Jakarta. He said the quake occurred at about 33-kilometres beneath the seabed.

Anas, who like many Indonesians uses only one name, said the quake was felt along a wide stretch of the southern Central Java coast, including the cultural city of Yogyakarta, but there were no reports of injuries or damage.

Yogyakarta and nearby regions has been struck by a powerful 7.3-magnitude earthquake on late May 2006, killing more than 5,800 people, injuring thousands of others and destroying and heavily damaging tens of thousands of homes and buildings.

Indonesia, the world's largest archipelago nation, is prone to earthquakes because the country sits atop Asia's so-called "Ring of Fire" where continental plates collide and earthquakes and volcanic eruptions are frequent.
