According to preliminary data, the quake was located at a very shallow depth of 1.9 miles. Shallow earthquakes are felt more strongly than deeper ones as they are closer to the surface. The exact magnitude, epicenter, and depth of the quake might be revised within the next few hours or minutes as seismologists review data and refine their calculations, or as other agencies issue their report. A second report was later issued by The Incorporated Research Institutions for Seismology (IRIS), which listed it as a magnitude 1.8 earthquake. Towns or cities near the epicenter where the quake might have been felt as very weak shaking include Westminster (pop. 92,100) located 0 miles from the epicenter. In Stanton (pop. 38,900, 3 miles away), Garden Grove (pop. 175,400, 4 miles away), Cypress (pop. 49,300, 4 miles away), Fountain Valley (pop. 57,000, 5 miles away), Pacific Beach (pop. 201,900, 7 miles away), Northam (pop. 83,300, 7 miles away), Anaheim (pop. 350,700, 8 miles away), and Los Angeles (pop. 3,898,700, 24 miles away), the quake was probably not felt.
