Magnitude 3.7 quake near San Diego
Last updated: 2018-03-26 17:50:58 UTC
The Anza group at the University of California San Diego operates a broadband seismograph network consisting of 13 (+ 2) three component broadband seismograph stations centered near Anza California (see map).
On Saturday, August 31, 2002 at 10:24:34 (PST) we recorded a quake (preliminary ml 3.7) located near the cities of Westmorland and Brawley. No felt reports as yet. A series of aftershocks followed the main event.
If you felt the quake, the USGS would like to know. Please add to the USGS "Did you feel it?" page.

Initial source parameters for the recent event and aftershocks are shown below. The epicentral distance (distance separating the epicenter and the closest station in the recording network) for Anza is 0.2 degrees (17.04 km).
This map shows the mainshock and the largest magnitude aftershock (red stars). Anza network stations are blue triangles.
