Please pray - California Earthquakes rock Los Angeles

Post by Maria »

We just experienced three earthquakes centered in La Habra, California

3.6 first quake (8:03 PM PDT)
5.1 second quake (9:09 PM PDT) 2014-03-29 04:09:41 UTC
3.4 third quake (9:11 PM PDT)
Another 3.6 just happened at 2014-03-28 21:30:51 UTC-07:00 (9:30 PM PDT)

The second earthquake lasted so long that it appeared as one long rocking and rolling earthquake.

Lord have mercy.

Rowland Heights now has reports of gas leaks.

Please pray for us.

Lord Jesus Christ, have mercy on me a sinner.

We just had another earthquake here in Los Angeles. We were spared, but others have suffered great loss, or are without power.
This latest one felt like a 3.5 but was rather short (about 2 seconds).

Just in according to the USGS: M 4.1 - 2km SE of Rowland Heights, California at 2:32 PM PST

According to the news media, we have been experiencing over a hundred aftershocks.
However, in Brea and in La Habra, further south from us, chimneys have tumbled down, rock walls have new cracks, block walls have cracked and fallen, pictures have fallen from the walls of homes, cupboards have emptied dishes all over the floor, and stores have suffered greatly where shelves and displays have emptied of their merchandise all over the floors.

Lord have mercy.

Lord have mercy.

Lord have mercy.

Lord Jesus Christ, have mercy on me a sinner.

I saw the headline only earlier. I had no idea there were several, and that they
had such effect !
I thought 5.1 was minor. But it sounds like these plus aftershocks have wrought some amazing damage.

I am glad your area did not suffer, Maria.
It must be your prayers, and recitation of Typica when can't attend Liturgy !
