A 5.4 magnitude earthquake shook Newport Beach at 11:42 AM today. The epicenter was located near Chino Hills. Within thirty minutes of the quake, more than a dozen aftershocks were reported. No reports of damage to Newport Beach Real Estate have been reported.
When everything settles down, owners of Newport Beach Real Estate should take a look at their homes for new foundation or stucco cracks. There are some great new tools and products to fill cracks. It’s always a good idea to check around the house after an earthquake.
Do you have an automatic gas shut-off valve? I’ll write about that later. Stay tuned!

We had one up our way about 6months ago (SF Bay Area). I was in a older tall building in San Francisco which can actually amplify the feeling because the building actually sways.
To outsiders reading in… earthquakes aren’t that bad. Can catch you off gaurd, but that’s about it. Way better than tornados!
Anyways, Great Tips Michael!
