My youngest brother is currently spending the summer working in Los Angeles. Today, my 20 year-old brother, who was actually born in California, experienced his first earthquake when the Los Angeles area was rocked by a 5.8 earthquake. That is a pretty good jolt, but generally isn’t powerful enough to collapse bridges, houses, or highways.
However, it did cause a rather large crack in the office of his wall at work, which can be seen in the video below. Pretty crazy, if you ask me! I would expect this from a building in a non-earthquake-prone location, but in LA?!?
