standing in the parking lot in front of the hospital. we felt it. we were certain of that. we expect that to continue. so, i think people are just navigating without power on. concerned about utilities and downed power lines and concerned about gas leaks. things of that nature. the fire we saw in the neighborhood. you have to be prepared for the possibility of an after shock and people now potentially in their homes and no longer knowing if they are structurally sound. are people staying in their homes? or is it one of the situations where they re going out. there was a neighbor by neighbor effort to evacuate on the street that we were on. again it s tough to get around to. on the street we were on with the mobile homes, people were in the streets yelling to each other. get out. stay away from the power line.
yeah. but they thought it was funny. what are your plans for the night? i just spoke to a resident she s outside of her home and not comfortable going back inside. she doesn t know if it s structurally sound, what about you? i ll attempt to go to my office. and sleep in the car. i already decided that. is it that what you did last night? i just decided on the mattress on the floor by the front door. and every time there s an after shock i jump and ran out the door. and i decided if there s another reason to be concerned i ll sleep in the car. because the car seems safer. it bounced. it absorbs the shock from the quake. i m not a seismologist but it

it is still very it s hard rock. these are faults that are breaking through hard rock. they create the waves that we feel strongly. we have been down here in los angeles. so the blue heens it happened more than an hour ago. less than 24 hours ago. you can see the yellow underneath. we re more than 24 hours since the main shock. all the blue dots are the after shocks over 24 hours. and that s the red are within the last hour. the main shock is already turned blue. that s right there. the epicenter of the 6.4 was at the corner. and we think ruptured clearly ruptured to the southwest probably also some rupture to the northwest in the same event. maybe in the after shock after wards. then the 5.4 after shock was the one this morning located in
