Report: 1.25.23

Hours ago, a magnitude 5.9 earthquake struck off the Greek Island of Rhodes, off the southwestern coast of Turkey. It was felt as far away as Cairo, Egypt. No damage or injuries were reported. Even earlier, overnight, a magnitude 4.2 occurred near Los Angeles, California, but was offshore. However, it was felt by many people in the area and people have been going on about it all morning. A magnitude 4.2 is not significant, but at least it made people aware of the potential risk. Noticeable earthquakes do not happen that often in California. It has been very quiet in Southern California over the past 2 years, more quiet than it has ever been before. Of course, just because it has been that quiet lately does not mean something serious cannot happen anytime soon. I'm also not implying that something big might be happening there soon, but there is always a risk of something going off any day now.
