A dangerous L.A. fault system rivaling the San Andreas is tied to recent earthquakes

Monday’s magnitude 4.4 #earthquake centered four miles northeast of downtown Los Angeles was modest but packed quite a jolt.

Although no major damage was reported, experts say the temblor was in the general area of a dangerous #fault #system
— one they have long feared is capable of producing a catastrophic earthquake in the heart of the city.

The quake ruptured on a small section of a fault associated with the #Puente #Hills thrust fault system,
which has long been cited as a major seismic hazard for Southern California
because it runs through heavily populated areas and is capable of a huge quake.

“It’s a reminder that this is actually ♦️our most dangerous fault,” ♦️
