When was the last EARTHQUAKE felt by the majority of Greater Los Angeles?

I can not remember the last earthquake that I felt..Has it been more than five years?

How about the Hector Mine quake, Oct 16, 1999. A little more than eight years ago. 7.1 magnitude, so people felt in in LA and Las Vegas.

There are little ones that are felt all the time, but as far as one that maybe all of greater Los Angeles felt? I would say the Northridge Quake- January 1994. Thats bad news for us all- the more pressure is being built the worse the destruction of the next quake. We have so many fault lines (Northridge quake was on a right-lateral side-slip fault) that move in different ways. I think some people feel the rattling ones more than the rolling ones. I hate them all, personally.

The Northridge earthquake in 1994 was the last one I remember of. I

When I was there I was told it in 1994

It has been a while. The last earthquake that all Los Angelinos felt was Northridge in 1994.

We are long over due for another.
