Very shallow. They felt this all the way down to mexico. They have felt this in las vegas. You would feel a 7. 1 magnitude and everyone is heightened alert. And to say that these aftershocks are going to occur for years is very unnerving to people who wont even sleep in their own homes. Karen joining us from the cnn weather center. Well speak again very soon. Announcer this is cnn breaking news. We continue our live coverage of the tremor that was felt about two, 2 1 2 hours ago in california. A followup to thursdays tremor which we now know was a fore shock. Thursday was a 6. 4 earthquake in ridgecrest, california. Friday saw a 7. 1 earthquake. That is five times bigger than what we saw on thursday. Were getting all reactions from our teams on the ground, from sarah sidner, our metrologist. I want to speak to the owners of a Super 8 Motel in ridgecrest. Thank you for joining us. What did you experience . Caller i was checking a customer and i was at the front desk. And we had this lit
break because i ve been working pretty solidly for the past couple of days, and i was with my mom at a restaurant. we got in my mom s car. she wanted to drive by the movie theater on her way to take me back to her office, and as we were driving back to my office her car started sort of bumping up and down. there was the fore shock when we were in the parking lot of the restaurant and we just kind of hung out in the car and i was joking, you know, when the big one hits, i want to be inside of a car because this isn t too bad. and that s what happened. it hit and we pulled over and the car just kind of bounced up and down. i could see about three kids hanging onto a fire hydrant in front of us just so they wouldn t fall over. i was trying to jump out of the car and take a picture but i didn t make it. and i couldn t find my phone because the phone coverage phone service was out. my mom called my phone, it was under the seat of the car, and we drove back to the restaurant,
