By the numbers
311 yesterday: 6,960 · typical Thursday: 7,248 · Westwood: 115 · quakes 24h: 48 (max M2.5) · permit value 30d: $1,084,502,250Correction, September 18, 2026: the permit figure this edition labels “30-day window” / “permit value 30d” is the declared value of every permit on our record when it was written (issued since May 7, 2026) — not a 30-day total. The label was accurate in early June and drifted as the record grew. Editions from September 19 print a true 30-day figure with its dates. Archived text is left as published.
