Quake Hits California, 'Sounded Like A Bomb'

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


A very shallow 4.4-magnitude earthquake hit Southern California early Wednesday morning, that “sounded like a bomb.” There were multiple aftershocks.

“One Riverside resident said the earthquake “sounded like a bomb going off,” ABC reports.

The quake struck at 1:35 a.m. about three miles north of Fontana and five miles west of Rialto in San Bernardino County, according to the U.S. Geological Survery (USGS).

The USGS said the quake was extremely shallow, just over three miles deep.

Multple aftershocks were reported within minutes after the initial earthquake, according to USGS. The largest aftershock was at 2:07 a.m, a 2.3-magnitude.

“I just felt the house kind of rocking back and forth like it was on shock absorbers. It only lasted about five seconds. It sounded like a bomb going off, and the house just started rocking,” Riverside resident Jeff Pracht said.

No immediate reports of injuries or significant damage have been provided.

The temblor, however, was felt across a large region, including even as far as Santa Monica, 65 miles west of the earthquake’s epicenter. Fontana, Rancho Cucamonga, Hacienda Heights, Ontario, San Bernardino, Downey were also rattled.

        “Alas, you who are longing for the day of the Lord, for what purpose is the day of the Lord to you? It will be darkness and not light.

        As when a man flees a lion and a bear meets him, Or goes home leans his hand against a wall and a snake bites him.

        Will not the day of the Lord be darkness instead of light, even gloom with no brightness in it? Amos 5:18-20

        Please don’t make me have to explain this to you. :roll:

      Russian military is warning its forces in the Pacific of a moderate to high likelihood of a “significant seismic event” along the west coast of the US? Russian president Putin has threatened to destroy the “terrorists” in Saudi Arabia? A former Russian leader Nikita Kruschev back in 1960 announced that they had a “super weapon”, that if used “unrestrained” could wipe out all life on earth. Remember? Imagine how they and other super powers have refined these Tesla weapons technologies. Now apply this understanding to what is going on in the world right now. Are these “events” being brought about by GOD, are they natural, or are they lying signs and wonders? Can the weather be manipulated? Can energy be broadcast to any place on earth? Can the jetstreams be steered? Can nuclear type “explosions” be created underground, in the air, or in the oceans without using a physical nuclear weapon? Are all these “fireballs” really bits and pieces of a comet? What are HAARP facilities really being used for? YOU AWAKE YET?

      • tam4grace

        You have a great point. My heart actually beats harder when the haarp is going. I lived 3 blocks from one being built on RAF Feltwell in 92, they had me on meds by the time I left that base in 94. I used to work in a law office off base. Within 2 wks of that monstrosity being completed. I was could only type 20wpm w/out mistakes and my boss was worried how bad I was shaking when I would bring his coffee to him. A gal whose daughter went to first year with my son in Thetford, Norfolk, originally was going to work on the haarp project as she had just gotten her degree in aerospace technology. When I asked her why she changed her mind, she said her father who was also into aerospace technology said to stay away from it. Her husband, a pilot made enough money, so she just enjoyed the beautiful scenery and traveled. She couldn’t tell me much. I refused to drived out that gate. My ex and I were curious about a pig farm outside a Lakenheath gate. I now know that was actually an array to the glober on Feltwell. Little domes perfectly spaced a part, with a few pigs and a lot of electric fence when we got close. I would listen to a radio station on the weekends, but after the dome/globe was totally erect, all I could get was weird, almost alien sounding noises. The whole thing was creepy when I didn’t realize what was going on. They are hitting the pacific northwest pretty good the last couple of days with chemtrails, you can check out geoengineering watch for January 12th 2014. When my heart is pounding, it usually turns out they are doing something.

          Very interesting. Occasionally, when listening to the radio, especially the AM station where I live, weird sounding noises can be heard. A couple of times the station I was listening to just went completely off, as if the signal was being over-ridden. Very strange. Hope all is well with you, and I do appreciate your response. Take care, whoever you are.

      Let’s add this to the situation. Russian military scientists have stated that high pressure systems, like the one near Iceland, can cause pressure on the earth over which they are located. If you will notice, in the following weather image, a high pressure system can be seen, which has been over the central and southwest of the US for quite some time.

      See the image here: http://www.nrlmry.navy.mil/sat-bin/display10.cgi?SIZE=Thumb&PHOT=yes&AREA=pacific/eastern/pacus&PROD=vapor&NAV=epac_westcoast&CGI=epac_westcoast.cgi&DISPLAY=Latest&MOSAIC_SCALE=15&CURRENT=LATEST.jpg

      This high pressure system is being blamed for the present “drought” in California. Russian and American scientists have concurred that these high pressure systems can, indeed, induce seismic activity, i.e., earthquakes leading to landslides. Wasn’t there a landslide that occurred to a portion of the coast highway along the Baja recently which was posted on this website? Yep. And now there’s been an 4.5 earthquake near Fontana, CA?

      Earthquake watch through April 2nd 2013 .. WTF

      • Anonymous

        Saw the date on this too but, their warnings are still in effect. What’s important is that there IS a high pressure system that has been dominating the west coast of the US for quite a few weeks now and there is no precipitation forecast for the next 10 days. Snow pack in the Sierras is minimal, at best. Drought conditions are worsening in south/central CA. Water levels in reservoirs that supply water to the LA Basin and Las Vegas areas are already low. Residents in these areas are being asked to conserve water by taking short showers, running dishwasher only when full, and other measures. Red flag warnings have been up for the LA Basin area for awhile now, and this is the middle of winter! A landslide took out a portion of the highway that runs along the Pacific Ocean side of the Baja peninsula and a 4.5 earthquake occurred this morning near Fontana, CA.

      If it sounded like a bomb, it probably was!!! I agree with Anonymous below. Where is Ison, such a huge comet, so close to the earth, yet no one has seen it. It is a hologram, there is no debris tail, just bombs launched from the space platform. Dr Carol Rosin pre warned us about the asteroid threat, after that the alien invasion. It is all a part of the plan peeps, don’t be fooled. Another point, how come the big deep freeze which just occurred. The big freeze in the Antarctic in the middle of summer? Stop making quantam leaps in your thinking to justify their explanations. They are laughing at you in your cornflakes.

    • slamdance13

      Bla Bla….did not sound like a bomb. I felt it and heard it. it was tiny. I lived through the Northridge quake. My apt came off it’s foundation and was condemned, had to move. This morning’s was BS. Don’t believe everything you hear, Dupre.

        Depending on where one was when they experienced this “earthquake” this morning has a great deal to do with perceptions of this event. To you it didn’t sound like a bomb going off, but to someone else in a different location it would sound differently, no? So, what was it? Earthquake, or something else?

      W. Willow , It will be the Great and Terrible Day of the lord indeed. Great if your a True believer in the One True God of the Universe Yeshua Ha Mashiach JESUS CHRIST and Terrible if your one of the wicked that are still on the planet when his Wrath is come upon them. So yes Praise Jesus for that Day when we are Redeemed/ Saved and removed into Heaven off of this Demon Infested Rock!! I pray that you find Jesus b4 then my friend

        oh shut up you programmed parrot. learn some spiritual discernment or just old style common sense. like robots, when anything occurs its immediately some End Time wrath unleashed by God. grow up and use the brain God gave you

      It’s been figured out what the loud booms are. They are the earth cracking open. Just like when a tree branch breaks it makes a sound, the earth does that too except it goes BOOM for obvious reasons when it “snaps”.

      This indicates the earth is groaning and creaking due to mankind’s sin. Specifically same-sex abomination and the rise of the faggots.

      God said even the land would vomit us out.

        The “scoffers” are everywhere, just as the prophets said they would be. It is written, “They deliberately ignore this fact, that by the word of God heavens existed long ago, and an earth formed out of water and by means of water, through which the world that then existed was deluged with water and perished. But by the same word the heavens and the earth that now exist have been stored up for fire, being kept until the judgment and destruction of ungodly men.”
        (2 Peter 3:5,6,7,RSV,1952)

      Speaking of earthquakes, and the continued “high pressure” over the west/southwest, a 3.1 earthquake was recorded off the Oregon coast and a 2.0 was recorded in southern Nevada today. New water use restrictions are now being implemented in CA. Red flag warnings are up in many locations. California is in the process of starting a new 25 billion dollar project to bring water from the Sacramento Delta down to the southern part of the state in order to attempt to alleviate the extreme drought conditions that now exist. Problem is there is only an 8% of normal snow pack in the Sierra’s right now, and there has been less than 2 inches of rain in the valley in all of 2013. Hard to supply water if there is little, or no, water to begin with. Lake Tahoe is extremely low for this time of year also. Could be a “disaster” in the making.

      weird I felt something similar but not in California but I felt like my house was tipping just for a few seconds early this morning.

      Thank you God for torturing and murdering your only son so that I can enjoy eternity in luxury and comfort.
      Thank you God, for killing all those people who don’t believe the same exact thing that I do, and doing it on TV. That’s hilarious.
      Thank you God, for ruining the lives of millions of innocent people just to show us, the true believers, who the boss really is.
      And finally, God, thank you for taking the souls of those who don’t believe in the same exact thing that I do, and torturing and burning them forever and ever, regardless of their behavior in life. Truly, you are a forgiving and loving God.

      Meantime, if the quakes don’t get one’s attention, stopsprayingcalifornia.com put your state in the link. They are getting us all. Tell someone! It is kind of important that we not all be sprayed like roaches. Isn’t it?

    • W. Willow

      California earthquakes often sound like booms as if something really big just dropped. It is probably related to how the earthquake happened to occur.

      In San Diego, the Northridge Quake sounded like a locomotive heading our way until POW! the shock hit and shook the house like something chained. Then it sounded like a locomotive leaving to the south.
