LOCATION CONTEXT
The dashed ring is not a predicted felt boundary. It uses MyPG.news’s conservative magnitude-and-distance relevance threshold as a visual context guide. The map is drawn directly from the verified USGS epicenter coordinates and Pacific Grove reference point, so it remains available without loading an outside map library or tile server. USGS says shaking intensity varies with distance, depth, rupture direction and local geology. USGS has not listed a ShakeMap or Did You Feel It? footprint for this event.
