Seconds. We stayed under the table until the shaking stopped. I said well be okay. Were starting to get the initial video and pictures. Obviously everybody is posting things. That were seeing from the effects of that tremor. What were seeing is an impressive fire. This is not from the yesterday. This is from now. This is from a im waiting to get the location. It maybe ridge crest, california. Where alex it is ridge crest. Confirmation. You might be looking at video that we sent in. Were working on cell phones and were pitch back. Its a very impressive explosion. What appears to be a house fire. I know yesterday authorities told us this were several, numerous loose and broken gas pipelines. Thats always a danger. Sure. We certainly saw out of the
restaurant and everyone was able to get out. We headed back to the neighborhood that we have been in earlier today. The neighborhood that was more affected by thursdays quake. A number of mobile homes and Trailer Homes there. A couple people sc
my expectation is ridge crest is having a difficult time tonight. it is a fore shock. after shock becomes bigger than the main shock. we change the name. everything before the 7.1 would be considered a fore shock to this. this is an earthquake sequence. it will be ongoing. it is cloerly a very energetic system. sequence. so there s no reason to think that we can t have more large earthquakes. the largest after shock on average to a 7.1 would be a magnitude 6. another 6.0 similar to yesterday would not be surprising to anybody. we don t have a lot more information. you can see on the map where the locations of the earthquake and after shock are, the blue are all earthquakes that happened before the 7.1.
for a few days. the most likely time is within a day. we saw 30 hours or something. you don t recall of niz earthquakes sequence was a 7.1 was followed by a bigger earth. just not in california with the series. places elsewhere in the world. there was a 8 fore shock to a 9 in chile. in this state. you have never seen anything follow a 7.1? boy, yeah. that doesn t mean we have in nevada. fair field earthquake. the take away here as we have just seen between yesterday and today. quakes that when you say are main shocks can be fore shocks to larger quakes.
sequence. we don t know if there s something stronger coming or whether it will climb down from here. what do they need to do? they re 150 miles from the epicenter. what precautions do they need to take? so when we got the first feeling of an earthquake it was a 4.5. it was 6.4 lt first one thursday. in ridge crest epicenter there. los angeles felt about a 4.5. what it did is remind everybody that lives in earthquake prone areas whether it is here in the u.s. or across the world, that you must be prepared for these things. for example, people are starting to get water. starting to talk about the things they need as far as supplies. just in case their supply chain is cut off. everyone knows to make sure to
sequence. what happened yesterday was a fore shock. for today. which was a much bigger quake. ranking at 6.9 and this they are not ruling out there could be a bigger tremor or bigger quake after this. they say it s ongoing sequence and this is a strong one. let s go to paul. he s in rich quest as well. i have been speaking to alex. she said it was the most terrifying moment of her lie. she s covered earthquakes before. what did you see? all right. we ll go back to him in a moment. we ll be speaking in a second to karen. our meteorologist. she s with us now. you were listening to what they were saying. an ongoing earthquake sequence. that was one of the most interest things i have heard out of that conference from noted
