>> from the bay area's local news station. we now with breaking news. >> thank you for joining us here on kron. 4 news at 2. i'm justine waldman. we begin with breaking news. there has just been an earthquake along the peninsula daily city feeling this jolt earthquake struck about 5 miles west of there just a short time ago. that

means that likely occurred 2 to 3 miles off of the coast. our meteorologist john shrable said that he felt that quake. he called it, quote, a big jolt. and we'll get the latest now from kron four's gayle ong. she's in the weather center now. gayle, what's the latest? yeah, apparently people in our newsroom felt that i didn't feel it happened right before our show. you can see it right here just off the coast. >> about 5 miles away from daly city. and here are the latest numbers we got from the usgs, a magnitude of 3.4 around one. 32 pm. and as you can just see people around the daly city, kan, who really felt were john trade was he said he felt that jolt. so we're still getting some numbers in. we're still trying to learn if there's any reports of damage. but, you know, for 3, it depends where you are. if you're high up in a higher elevation are on the top floor, you can really feel it. so we're still trying to get those reports. and if you felt that our assignment desk work in the right now, so we like to hear from you. magnitude 3.4 when 32 pm right

off the coast here in daly city. and, you know, we'll be monitoring this and seeing if there's any reports, any other places you felt it. and if you did feel at the usgs wants to know because they want to know the magnitude of this quake, it really helps them. and, you know, of course, monitoring those aftershocks back to just all right. thank you so much for join out on the phone by. excuse me, by zoom with doctor lucy jones, who's going to talk to us more about this earthquake that just happened >> outside of daly city, what do you know so far? well, i'm looking at the usgs web pages to get the information. it's ca, as you said, it's a 3.4. the location is very near the san andreas fault just offshore from san francisco, which is a place has the sort of earthquakes periodically the mechanism of doesn't look like it's necessarily on the san andreas fault itself. we often see the smaller quakes being around the fall rather than on it. hard to tell at this point which wanted this.

>> so i always want to know when an earthquake happens. >> is this the the app is could it be an aftershock? a pretty shot? how is there a way to tell? >> unfortunately, i actually spent a large part of my career trying to find something that would let us recognize that something would be a foreshock and were able to pretty definitively say there's nothing different about for shocks. they're just earthquake that happens to have a really big aftershock. so it happens about 5% of the time be followed by something larger. but if it's followed by a 3.6, that's part of the 5%. the chance of actually being a foreshock to something significantly bigger is very, very low. well, below one percent. >> and is there a way to determine that based on the magnitude of the qucke that has already happened? is their percentage there? >> no, no. in fact, the fact the mac it's independent, that 5% is independent of the magnitude of the first earthquake. it seems to be about the same rate and all different magnitudes. >>aso we know it hit kind of near daily city and a 3.4. what would people immediately close to area feel versus

someone in san francisco are in oakland or even in sandra fell. >> right. if you're very close to the coast, notice that pretty relatively strongly. if you have damage, really got awful place. there's no way an earthquake of this size should be doing damage in california. and even this, i shouldn't even be throwing anything off of shelves. when we look at, you there's something called the did you feel that map? you mentioned that where the usgs will receive reports of what people felt that looks like intensity for not this. intensity describes what you feel. magnitudes. the total energy released in the earthquake. intensity for near the coast going down to 2, 3, farther inland and tested before is one where pretty much everybody notices that. but you don't have anything even falling off of shelves. i you know, probably are hearing a certain amount motion when the earthquake, you know, as the waves go through, but there shouldn't be any impact. what is the scale out of? he

said for weeks end to okay test a scale one to 10 scale it's what preceded magnitude describes you experience intensity. 7 is where we start to really be damaging. california homes. intensity. 6 is where we start to throw things off of shelves. intensity 5 is often described everybody frightened. but i think those are people that are used to earthquakes and intensity for as everybody notices it. but it's it's just not. and what should you if you're out talking, you're not feeling thing is the shaking is going through. you wouldn't feel it in the car. so a lot of people will miss it even if the tense before and after this quake has now happened. what do you do with the information about where it hit, how big it was, what people felt had to use. what happened today to get us prepared for. >> the next one. >> i would put it in the catalog. all right. that's what in the long run it any individual earthquake doesn't change much. but knowing the overall pattern is very important. it's the catalog that allowed us to determine

that 5% of earthquakes are followed by something bigger. it's the catalog that allows us to see where the active fault structures. now, that's a a little bit of a mixed bag. we see a lot of said around the really big fault. but often the ones that produce the biggest earthquakes don't have the small ones. they only have the big ones and the small ones are clustered around them. doctor lucy jones, we appreciate you jumping on so quickly to talk to us here on kron 4. so we could get the lateut about this earthquake. 3.4 out of daly city. appreciate your. >> your expert advice. very good. good to be here. see soon. i'm sure. all right. want to talk about our forecast now as well. we'll have more earthquake coverage for you throughout the hour here. but here now is a live look at palisades tahoe. it is snowing as we speak and officials are expecting over 3 feet of snow in the next couple of days there. so be ready and be aware. tahoe ski resorts are putting out that welcome map, but they're also advising travelers to be ready as one of the biggest storms
