On Wednesday and Thursday, Seeley delivered daily at least one earthquake over 4.5. But what made these quake even more significant was that the struck nearly at the earth’s surface.

Normally quakes in Southern California can have a depth of 15 to 20 miles below the earth’s surface. This 4.5 Thursday in Seeley had a depth of barely 1 mile.

It was the same on Wednesday. Then a 4.5 earthquake struck with a 1/2 km depth centered in nearby Ocotillo. And on Tuesday, it was a 4.6 quake in Seeley with a roughly 2 mile depth.

MAPS! A 4.6 California earthquake is the latest to shake San Diego and Los Angeles today. Today’s earthquake being felt in San Diego to Los Angeles is the latest significant aftershock of the Sunday 7.2 earthquake that struck shortly after 3:30 pm PST centered in Baja California.

As LALATE has been reporting since Sunday, there have been daily at least three dozen aftershock earthquakes being felt in California. The earthquakes have been centered in Southern California, mostly just above the Mexico border, and in Baja California, just south of the Mexico border.

But just moments ago at roughly 3:00 AM PST Tuesday, a significant aftershock earthquake struck measuring 4.6. It again was centered just outside of Seeley, California. These Seeley earthquakes are roughly 13 miles from the town, 14 miles from Ocotillo, 17 miles from Heber, and 18 miles from El Centro.

Here are maps of the initial 7.2 earthquake.
