in fact, only 62 miles from iquique here. the wave actually hit iquique in 20 minutes, and in some spots, even less than that. we know a wave was generated out into the ocean as well, but most of the energy along the larger part of the wave was right here very close to the epicenter. the shaking in fact, look at this here for a second the shaking strong to very strong. this yellow, if you go to the shake map of the southern california earthquake that hit over the weekend, almost the exact same shaking, but that was only a 5.1. but it happened right under los angeles or la habra. that s why it shook so much there in southern california, where here, the shake was truly offshore. this was, though, a great quake, 8.0 or more magnitude is a great quake. let me show you, kind of dive on down to what this means here for us. what this wave could have done is made a large wave progressing away from the shore. the one that hit the shore happened very quickly, but almost 13 to 14 hours to get
was damaged, food knocked into the aisles. the floor started shaking and the ceiling started shaking. something s wrong, you ve got to go. reporter: in bray ya, a bedroom camera showing how violentedly ground shook while customers at this ice cream parlor, former home of a creation called the eight scoop earthquake sunday, got a taste of the real thing. in la habra, at an apartment building near the epicenter, fallen pictures, frayed nerves. i ran out of my car and ran right into the arms of this man and we were in the middle of the street just like hugging. reporter: more than 100 aftershocks hit the region, including a magnitude 4.1 that struck saturday afternoon. the quake centered around 25 miles south of downtown los angeles on the puente hills fault. one seismologist has been closely watching. when we have a big earthquake on the puente hill it is strong shaking will be downtown los angeles, hollywood,est l.a. and we re going see a much higher level of damage. reporte
earthquakes is the relative number of large to small events. so when our rate of magnitude 3s go up, a 6 or 7 also go up. a lot of people talk about the fact this was kind of slow and rolling, that 5.1 they felt the other day. a little different from sometimes, those shakers or the quick jolt we feel. well, what that s telling me is the people you talked to didn t live very close to this event. when you re right on top of an earthquake, you feel that sharp, jerky motion. when you re farther away, the sharp stuff has died off, the high frequencies go off more quickly, and you re left with the rolling motion. if you talk to somebody who had lived in fullerton or la habra, they wouldn t have been saying slow-rolling motion. you re right about the seismic rock star, first of all. throw another at her. the san andreas fault, all of us east coasters know that. that s not the one shaking this
that would be the most dangerous given the maps and what it runs through, how active is it? we believe four big earthquakes in 10,000 years. these are two things that are getting pressurized every day and there is a little bit more pressure and some day they will pop. it popped this weekend. little earthquakes are better than one big one. all the faults all along california from san andreas down here to southern california. they are past the river site. if the big one happens it will be 30 miles from l.a. rupturing along the san andreas fault. if this ruptures at a 7.1 or 7.5 accident it will literally pop los angeles up like a cork. it s going to take that three-ring notebook and slide and the whole area is going to pop up. think about this. we are talking from la habra to
