Cajon Pass Earthquake | ||||
![]() |
|
TIME July 22, 1899 / 12:32 pm, PST LOCATION near 34° 15' N, 117° 30' W roughly 24 km (15 miles) northwest of San Bernardino about 65 km (41 miles) ENE of Los Angeles MAGNITUDE ML5.7 (?) FAULT INVOLVED uncertain
This quake was reported felt over most of southern California,
with intensities reaching VIII or IX on the Rossi Intensity Scale
(basically an early version of the Modified Mercalli Scale) in
the epicentral area, which was somewhere near Lytle Creek and
Cajon Pass. Landslides triggered by the shaking blocked both
the Lytle Creek Canyon road and the road through Cajon Pass.
The heaviest damage to buildings occurred in San Bernardino,
Highland, and Patton. Damage was also reported in Redlands,
Pomona, Riverside, Pasadena, and Los Angeles, though it was mostly
minor. No deaths were reported, and the number of injuries caused
is uncertain.
