  • 14 Apr 2025 10:08:28 PDT, (33.043, -116.595), depth 13.4km.
  • 4km S of Julian, California

Aftershocks

  • As of 14 Apr 2025, 10:16AM PDT, there have been 8 aftershocks recorded.
  • The largest was M3.0 (smallest M2.0).
  • More aftershocks may be expected in the next few days, the largest expected is approximately 1 magnitude unit smaller than the mainshock.
  • There is a small chance (about 5%) that a larger quake could occur, with the likelihood decreasing over time.

Possible Foreshocks

  • There were 13 events during the 3 days prior to the earthquake (within a 10 km radius).
  • The largest was M3.3 (2025/04/13).

Historical Seismicity

  • Since our records began in 1932 we’ve had 6 events of M4 or greater within 10km of today’s event.
  • The largest historic event was M4.5 on 1984/10/10.
  • The most recent historic event was M4.3 on 04 Dec 1991.

Faults

  • CFM fault associations: most likely Elsinore fault; south segment (76%). Alternates: Not associated with a CFM modeled fault (23%), Other CFM faults (1%).*
  • Nearby faults: Elsinore fault zone, Julian section (Elsinore fault) (4.7 km), Elsinore fault zone, Julian section (Earthquake Valley fault) (11.0 km) and Elsinore fault zone, Earthquake Valley fault, Julian section (11.9 km).**

Additional Information


Below are the waveform data associated with this event, as recorded in our Live Seismograms Feed.


*Earthquakes can occur both near or on major known faults, and in places where no clear fault zones are known. Using the statistical method of Evans et al. (in prep. 2019) the location and focal mechanism of this earthquake suggest the above association with modeled faults in the Community Fault Model (CFM) provided by the Southern California Earthquake Center (SCEC) and Harvard University. Note that the CFM fault association may be different from the nearby faults list. Differences may arise due to different fault databases, and because the CFM fault association uses the hypocenter with relation to subsurface 3-dimensional fault orientation models, while the nearby faults list utilizes mapped surface traces as they relate to the epicenter.

CFM Fault: SCEC CFM 5.0 Fault name and closest segment if available; The CFM is maintained by Harvard University, Dept of Earth & Planetary Sciences.

Probability: The probability in percent the earthquake is associated with this fault.

  • Nearby faults: Harper fault zone (Gravel Hills fault) (1.3 km), Harper fault zone (Harper Valley fault) (3.7 km), Harper fault zone (Black Mountain fault) (5.8 km), Harper fault zone (Cuddeback fault) (7.1 km), Lenwood-Lockhart fault zone, Lockhart section (9.8 km), Lenwood-Lockhart fault zone, Lockhart section (North Lockhart fault) (12.5 km), Blackwater fault zone (Blackwater fault) (13.9 km) and Lenwood-Lockhart fault zone, Lenwood section (Lockhart fault) (15.1 km).**

Additional Information


Below are the waveform data associated with this event, as recorded in our Live Seismograms Feed.


*Earthquakes can occur both near or on major known faults, and in places where no clear fault zones are known. Using the statistical method of Evans et al. (in prep. 2019) the location and focal mechanism of this earthquake suggest the above association with modeled faults in the Community Fault Model (CFM) provided by the Southern California Earthquake Center (SCEC) and Harvard University. Note that the CFM fault association may be different from the nearby faults list. Differences may arise due to different fault databases, and because the CFM fault association uses the hypocenter with relation to subsurface 3-dimensional fault orientation models, while the nearby faults list utilizes mapped surface traces as they relate to the epicenter.

CFM Fault: SCEC CFM 5.0 Fault name and closest segment if available; The CFM is maintained by Harvard University, Dept of Earth & Planetary Sciences.

Probability: The probability in percent the earthquake is associated with this fault.

  • 22 Dec 2024 11:03:49 PST, (35.772, -118.012), depth 2.7km.
  • 21km SSW of Little Lake, California

Aftershocks

  • As of 22 Dec 2024, 12:01PM PST, there have been 2 aftershocks recorded.
  • The largest was M1.6 (smallest M1.4).
  • More aftershocks may be expected in the next few days, the largest expected is approximately 1 magnitude unit smaller than the mainshock.
  • There is a small chance (about 5%) that a larger quake could occur, with the likelihood decreasing over time.

Historical Seismicity

  • Since our records began in 1932 we’ve had 26 events of M4 or greater within 10km of today’s event.
  • The largest historic event was M6.3 on 1946/03/15.
  • The most recent historic event was M4.1 on 17 May 2001.

Faults

  • CFM fault associations: most likely Scodie Lineament (64%). Alternates: Not associated with a CFM modeled fault (33%), Other CFM faults (3%).*
  • Nearby faults: Southern Sierra Nevada fault zone, Haiwee Reservoir section (Sierra Nevada flt) (10.1 km).**
