I got the alert in SLO. It said expect light shaking. Didn’t feel a thing, but I still had my wobbly sea legs on.

Ongoing aftershocks. This area will probably need to be inspected for landslide potential before it is completely over.

Is VCO really the designation for Ventura County? Not XVE?

VNC is Ventura County Fire

It’s VNC, because VNC is the jurisdiction in Ojai, only when they assemble a strike team with outside agencies like Ventura, Oxnard, Fillmore does the designation become XVE

Ojai continues to experience aftershocks from the 5.1M earthquake detected at 2:41pm PT. The last detected aftershock is 2.8M roughly 3.7 miles (6km) southeast of Ojai at 8:03pm.
Highway 33 remains closed at Ojala north of Meiners Oaks. Highway 150 east and west are open under caution at this time, however it is strongly urged to avoid driving local roads and highways due to flood, risk of falling and rolling debris, mudslides and emergency responders and responder vehicles on the roads and shoulders.
