Strong Earthquake With Tsunami Warning Hits San Diego County April 14th 2025!

James Kaufman will lose report today, April 14th, 2025. God bless you and yours, no matter where you are in the world. Please subscribe, give us a thumbs up, ring that bell for critical future updates. Ladies and gentlemen, the talk of the day is a moderate-sized, strong earthquake that hit Southern California. We're calling it a 5.2-magnitude earthquake. The hit just south of Julian, California in San Diego County came in as a seven on the DYFI, a six on the shake map, the associated seismic warning, a depth of 14.3 kilometers. Now, that's not the only story. There's a huge swarm associated with this earthquake. All right, so everyone gets their bearings here. It's going to be Tijuana here, this is going to be San Diego right here, the U.S. border comes right through here, this is the Salton Sea. One of the few places, the San Andreas or North American Pacific Plate Boundary, do not connect here to the Western Hemisphere. The Salton Sea is a saltwater body and is either connected to the Pacific over here or the Sea of Cortez or Gulf of California or both. Now, our swarm is happening right to the west of that. I'm going to zoom in. Everything in red is happening within the hour. All of this is being felt throughout San Diego County, and that's in the San Diego proper, the city. We've got video coming in. As you can see, it is a mess, and this looks like it's a volcanic range that comes right through here. And we all know that, ladies and gentlemen, This is LA up here, Long Beach, and this works its way down into San Diego and then Tijuana here. So this is not a great area, especially when it's being felt throughout all of these cities and towns. Looks like they've had 99 earthquakes in this small area today, and of course that 5.2 would be the strongest. Most of them are not very strong earthquakes. I don't see anything that's too close to the surface but that's a lot of movement for today especially in one such small area here. I don't know why they're calling out the tsunami warning. We will check the buoys but to give you an overall view of where that swarm is well there you go. Let's get some detailed information about this. All right, over to Volcanoes and Earthquakes.com, nothing showing up. Throughout the continental USA, no aftershocks, etc. Take a look at this, USGS main source of data, a 5.2 at 14 kilometers, Europeans, a 5.2 at 10 kilometers, International Research Institute on Seismology, a 5.2 at 14 kilometers. Go ahead and get some detailed information. So here we have the strongest, the 5.2 magnitude earthquake in that swarm of a hundred earthquakes just today, April 14th. Wow, about an hour ago. Earthquake details 5.2. Our main source is going to be our USGS. Over 1,646 reports came in. Wow. Equivalent of, let's see, Looks like about 951 tons of TNT, so not even equivalent to one atomic bomb worth of energy, but it's rocking and rolling, and we know it has 98 to 99 friends with it. This is a big deal on the west coast of the U.S. Comparing earthquake data from different agencies, the USGS is coming in first. 14 kilometers of depth, a 5.21. We have the Incorporated Research Institute for Seismology at 5.2, 14 kilometers, followed by the Europeans at 5.2, 10 kilometers. It's a default depth. You can see the asterisks there. The Germans came in at a 5.14, 10 kilometers, also default depth. And finally, the Australians came in at a 5.09, at 9.2 kilometers of depth. Not the strongest, but still a very strong earthquake hitting this area with a huge swarm in the area. Headed over to the National Data Buoy Center, we have a buoy event mode, 46410. It's going to be way too far north to be associated with this. We'll see if anything else is happening on the earthquake map that we did miss. And this looks to be a good-sized or decent-sized event. Looks like it's perhaps just over a meter, which is quite some movement for one of these buoys. Let's get some detailed information from this. All right, looking at the event itself, it does not look very large at all. We're talking about four centimeters again. Looking up here, it doesn't look very large at all either. Guess that was part of the actual swells that we were more or less looking at. So this is a very minor event. We're going to take one last look at the earthquake map to see if something up there might have caused this. We see absolutely nothing on the USGS map that could cause this area to be in event mode. It could have been a seamount erupting. Seamounts are underwater volcanoes that have not broken the surface of the ocean yet. I'm guessing that's what we're dealing with here. You can see our swarm down here, a 5-2, followed by 99 additional, 98 additional earthquakes this morning, rocking and rolling. But I don't see anything up here. That would have caused any event like we're seeing over the National Data Buoy Center. With that said, folks, that is a big deal, what's going on down in San Diego County, California. I can see that, well, we might be in trouble going forward on the West Coast. So y'all buckle up and get ready. It's about time the West Coast is hit. Some much larger earthquakes and maybe some volcanic activity. Please share, subscribe, and always remember, anything's possible in the Bizarro World.
