Frazier Park, CA (Friday, August 6, 2021 at 8:30 and 11 a.m.)— The punch you may have felt coming up through the floor of your home at 7:37 a.m. Friday, Aug. 6 was a 3.5 earthquake. Biologist Lynn Stafford called to say it was probably almost directly north of Frazier Park, just south of Highway 166.

For those who felt it, the experience was a single upthrust thump beneath the floor. This reporter was too startled to move at first. In the past, notable earthquakes have been multiple vertical bumps or rolling waves of lateral disturbance that create what feels like sympathetic vibrations in structures, as items within, such as shelving, begin to vibrate and tumble.
