McNally, K.C., Yellin, J., Protti-Quesada, M., Simila, G., Malavassi, E., Schillinger, W., Terdiman, R. and Zhang, Z. (1990). The local magnitude of the 18 October 1989 Santa Cruz mountains earthquake is M_L=6.9. Geophysical Research Letters 17: doi: 10.1029/90GL01640. issn: 0094-8276.

We find that the local magnitude, ML, of the 18 October 1989 (U.T.) earthquake is 6.9, not 7.0--71. as has been reported. This value agrees with the moment magnitude, MW=6.9, found by Kanamori and Satake (1990) ¿The American Geophysical Union 1990
