The company that I work for has a production facility just outside of Anaheim and late this afternoon we received the following communication from the plant, which I thought might be of interest to some of the readers of this blog. Particularly if they have friends or family in the area:
Incident Level: Incident - With Serious Potential
Description: An earthquake of magnitude 5.8, centered 20 miles northwest of the plant struck
at 11:42 AM PST. Ten aftershocks occurred in the next dozen minutes, including three
estimated at 3.8. The quake was about 8 miles below the earth's surface.
There were no injuries and the site was evacuated for a short time. There is minor damage
to ceiling tiles but no major structural damage or other process lines such as natural
gas lines. The site is resuming production although a number employees are nervous about
returning to work.
It was good news to hear that none of our friends were hurt in the quake and I hope that if anyone of you reading about the earthquake had friends or relatives in the area that they too are safe and sound.
