The Anza group at the University of California San Diego operates a broadband seismograph network consisting of 17 three component broadband seismograph stations centered near Anza, California (see map).

On Wednesday, October 29th, 2003 at 3:44 PM (PST) we recorded a quake (preliminary ml 3.8) located near the city of Simi Valley.

If you felt the quake, the USGS would like to know. Please add to the USGS "Did you feel it?" page.
