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.

13 Apr 2018 08:24:46 PDT, (35.392, -118.545), depth 4.8km, 22km SSW of Bodfish, California
Aftershocks: so far there have been no aftershocks recorded. Some 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.
Nearby faults: White Wolf fault zone (White Wolf fault) (10.3 km) and Edison fault (13.4 km). The White Wolf fault was the site of the largest earthquake in southern California since the Fort Tejon event of 1857. Known as the Kern County earthquake, this Mw7.5 event on July 21, 1952 caused widespread damage and was felt across California and Nevada. See the special report on the SCEDC website for more information.
Historical seismicity: since our records began in 1932 we’ve had 90 events of M4 or greater within 10km of today’s event, the largest was M5.6 (1952/07/31) and the most recent was M4.2 on 19 Apr 2014. Many of these events are aftershocks of the 1952 Kern County earthquake.
