Today's M6.4 Earthquake exceeded Jumpstart payout trigger
There have been a series of earthquakes today, July 4, 2019, near Ridgecrest, CA.
The largest of these, Magnitude 6.4, was sufficiently intense that it likely created a Jumpstart payout zone, but only in the region near the epicenter. The reason we say “likely” is that the determination is not final until 24 hours after the occurrence of the earthquake.
As a reminder, Jumpstart’s payment zone is roughly equivalent to the “red zone” on the USGS Shakemap. (The technical definition is a peak ground velocity of 30 cm/sec.) The Shakemap for today’s earthquake can be viewed at this link:

This is a good reminder to spread the word about how Jumpstart can help build financial preparation for an earthquake.
