The 1992 Big Bear earthquake was an earthquake that occurred at 08:05 PDT local time (15:05 UTC) on 28 June 1992 in Big Bear Lake, California, with a magnitude of 6.5.[1] This earthquake occurred three hours after the 7.3 magnitude Landers earthquake, which was centered 22 miles (35 km) to the east. The closely timed occurrence of these earthquakes is an often-cited example of a regional earthquake sequence.[2]
