Again, we were on our way to a story. Hi, sir. Did you just feel that earthquake we had. Yes. A short time ago. Yeah. Tell us tell us where you were going and what kind of sensation it was for you. Oh, i was in my office down there. I felt a very strong shake. You fet a strong shake. Did you feel the earthquake yesterday. No, yesterday i was in a boat some he didnt feel it. You were on a boat yesterday. Yeah. So today, can you tell us kind of what kind of feeling was it and for you, did it feel like it went on for a long time . It was fairly long. Its like a swinging movement. And its kind of weird, but at first i thought its like, i was in a boat so i thought i was sea sick or something but it was
fairly strong. So you were on a boat yesterday. You already have some boat legs going on. So again, we are here in anaheim. Were on our way to another story, an officer involved shooting Down The Street on the 91 freeway when we stopped at this carls junior, a lot of people definitely feelin
Happening in Southern California here for the next couple hours. Theres still reports of damage coming in. Julie banderas has that and all of the days news as we take a live look at washington d. C. Ahead of the big celebration. We begin with breaking news. An earthquake rattling Southern California and parts of nevada this afternoon. Im Julie Banderas in for shepard smith. Happy fourth to you. Emergency crews saying theyre getting dozens of calls ranging from reports of injuries to fires. Officials with the national Gee Logic Survey say it lasted about 60 seconds. Listen. I can feel it shaking. It was intense. Take a look at this video
from a liquor store in ridge crest. This is the first of many videos youll see pouring in today. This is near the epicenter. You can see the broken bottles on the floor. The shelves there rattled inten intensely. Anita vogel is reporting live with more. Julie, thats right, the earthquake struck at 10 33 local time in los angeles near the city of ridge c
Guys, confirm to my ears is this ridgecrest . It appears to be a house fire. Mayor breeden, this may be one of the five fires you were describing. It is absolutely raging. You see fire on the scene. Can you just give us an update . You say you believe there have been five fires. Youre not entirely sure if theyre under control. I do not know that officially. As i look around me i can see smoke but i cannot see i cannot see other than one, and thats still black smoke. Theres others that im sure that i only know of the report. And you mention as we stay on these images, you mention checking in with an assisted living facility. Did they have power . Is power totally out where you are . In some places its out and others it isnt. Okay. Okay, ridgecrest, california mayor Peggy Breeden you have many more people to talk to on the phone. Thank you so much for jumping on with me and my best to you. Dorothia smith is with me on the phone. And she felt the earthquake in trona, california, 20 miles
underground from the navy may have triggered it. we ve set off pretty large nuclear blasts without setting off a earthquake. the largest is a magnitude 2. the epicenter for this one is ten miles beneath the surface. is there anything about this earthquake that s surprising at all to you? the size. no, in a way, as dr. jones was explaining after the 6.4, there was a possibility of having a larger event. and sure enough, we did. and you know, the mechanics of these two faults, the conjugate faulting makes a lot of sense. from a scientific or gee logic perspective. i would say no, there s not really any surprises we ve seen so far. what can be you learn from it. hopefully number one, learn more about how earthquakes work. number two, i think there s teams out there looking at damage, how buildings responded. every earthquake is a chance to learn what will worked, what
conjugate. big bear was a little more separated from it but it was the same type of conjugate feature. the way the stress works, if i m pushing in this way i can move out here or move out here. so those essentially perpendicular we call it conjugate faulting is a current feature. we ll have to see how it develops. have you gotten any closer to understanding yeah, i can give an update about that. there s a little bit of misunderstanding or miscommunication. the system actually worked as designed. so an alert was sent out by the u.s. geological survey. the app or the city of l.a. is setup with various thresholds. the first threshold is a magnitude 5 earthquake or greater in l.a. county. it will send out an alert. this earthquake was outside of
