"Bob Dollar of the USGS told the Register that Caltech scientists reviewed seismograms from Tuesday night's event in Orange County. "These data are consistent with a sonic event coming onshore near Dana Point and traveling northward inland," Dollar said. "The energy traveled across our seismic sensor network at the velocity of a compressional wave in air rather than the velocity of a similar wave through the ground, which is much faster," Dollar said.^[4]
