at 9:46 GMT on 16 October 1999. The event caused minimal
damage because it was located in a remote, sparsely populated part of the Mojave Desert, approximately 47 miles
east-southeast of Barstow, with epicentral coordinates
34.59°N 116.27°W and a hypocentral depth of 5 ± 3 km.
Twelve foreshocks, M 1.9-3.8, preceded the mainshock during
the previous twelve hours. All of these events were
located close to the hypocenter of the mainshock. | Item Type: | Article |
