>> announcer: this is cnn breaking news. hello. and welcome to our viewers here in the united states and all around the world. we appreciate you joining us, i'm natalie allen. two large earthquakes in two days in ridgecrest, california, was right in the middle of both. a 7.1 quake hit the town late friday, just one day after it experienced a 6.4. no deaths or serious injuries have been reported. but damage has been significant. including house fires, rock slides and broken gas lines. power was knocked out to more than 3,000 customers. many sleeping in the dark on this night in california. the california governor has

activated the safe emergency operations to the highest level. and appealed to washington for federal disaster aid. this is what it looked like from inside someone's home. >> the table -- [ bleep ]. >> oh, my god. >> oh, my god. oh, my god. oh [ bleep ]. >> oh, the front door came open. >> that's okay. that's okay. just hold on, hold on. oh, my god. this is bad, brian. oh. oh, my god. >> the entire house shaking there. the office of california's governor says they have activated the state operations center to provide further assistance. they've also requested additional support from the u.s. president. >> at the state operations center, we are fully activated at the highest level. earlier tonight, governor newsom

did talk to the white house and requested a presidential emergency declaration. the support our operations in the state and to provide federal assets will be called direct federal assistance in support of all of the mutual aid assets that we are currently providing to most ly kern county and san bernardino county. governor newsom activated the state operations center at its highest level tonight. and the fire and mutual aid from the los angeles riverside, san bernardino and fresno county areas to include urban search and rescue teams, fire strike team, firefighters, hazardous materials response units, emergency medical services, ambulance strike teams. and personnel.

in fact, roughly over 100 mutual aid personnel have been dispatched in support of these various fires and the support of both trona and the town of ridgecrest. >> our correspondent alex field went through this 7.1 earthquake. she's in ridgecrest. we just heard the officials there talking about all of the support they're bringing to that area, certainly needed. but mainly the support people need now is helping get through the night. and many are sleeping outside. not much that the officials can do to help them there. >> reporter: certainly not, natalie. you know, just thinking about that video you just played and hearing that woman say repeatedly, this is bad. i think that's how everyone in this community felt when they felt that 7.1 quake. it was undeniably powerful. it was undeniably jarring and

scary. even for people who prepare for earthquakes in this part of the country. even for people who have experienced earthquakes before. there was power for this. it was prolonged and it was frightening for all who experienced. yes, i think you're exactly right this will be a sleeps night for many. there are about 130 people who have gone to shelters to spend the evening. we heard the mayor say that she expects many people will be sleeping outside of their homes, in the yards. she's urging caution for all of the cars out on the roads looking around and responding to emergencies. she wants everyone to be aware of the fact that there's so many people afraid to be back in their homes that they're choosing to be outside tonight. for many, that may be the safest choice. we are still expecting many more aftershocks. there have been dozens tonight and hundreds and hundreds since the first quake hit. there are reasons for people to take precaution. as for the immediate damage

caused by this quake, well, officials still have to get their hands around that when the someone comes up. they're operating largely in the dark with large swaths of power out. we know the key concern tonight is gas leaks and fire and also looking for damaged structures. no reports, flattened structures, but certainly they're seeing cracks in the road and anything that come up overnight. really, it's going to take daylight to see what exactly the damage is here, natalie. >> right. and we know the red cross is is there helping out, helping people with water. but, you know with these power outages, alex, it makes you think this is a very, very hot state temperaturewise. so the people that don't have a place to go are having to also deal with the temperatures. >> reporter: yeah, it is extremely hot. we were out here all day today, you know, during the height of

the day, it's almost unbearable, particularly for somebody who isn't entirely accustomed to it. if you're older and if you have any health concern and you're not going to have air conditioning or a fan, that's going to be incredible difficult. and i'm certain you have officials encouraging people to get to shelters. but do get the electricity and air conditioning back. you certainly don't want injuries or medical emergencies happening after the fact, as a repercussion of this. right, that's a big focus that we'll point out in the next day or so. >> and ridgecrest is a town of what, just shy of 30 million people -- i guess there's not many places where you can go to escape.

>> reporter: a 6.2 earthquake which we had on thursday is a big earthquake. and really what we were hearing a lot today, as officials were surveying damage was that a quake that powerful could have caused more damage, certainly, in an area that is more densely palm slated. and there was just this overwhelming feeling twli ing t there was some damage, while there was cracks in the road, largely, the area had fared very well. the other thing that came to light, natalie, is the fact that of course people were preparing for the big one. we were hearing within the last 24 hours from local officials who say they constantly work on the emergency plans that are in place for these type of situations but thursday's quake showed how that plan works. and certainly, this latest one, the 7.1 will be another test of that plan.

and it will probably be another day or so to hear how officials are weighing in on how prepared they are for the future. something that helps is the fact that the emergency declaration had already gone into effect as a result of the previous quake. that helps to get resources to the people even now. >> we appreciate your reporting. we know you went threw the quake and it's quite terrifying. you're hanging with us, alex. thank you so much for helping us understand what people have experienced. scientists say friday's 7.1's quake happened on the same fault as thursday's 6.4 quake, but now the reconstructeded series is making that fault even longer. >> the epicenter of the 7.1 is at the northwest end of the fault that moved in the 6.4. now, the 5.4 aftershock this morning extended is that fault,

what we saw from the main shock from the 6.4, the 5.4 extended to the northwest. and the 7.1 seems to have extended even farther to the northwest. so the fault is growing. we ruptured a piece in the first quake. we ruptured a bit in the 5.4 and we're rupturing now. and then is usually have aftershocks that last for years? >> yes, the expectation is we're going to have aftershocks don't and it's going to continue on. >> meteorologist karen maginnis has been helping us understand the magnitude of this. that right there, what they just said, cannot be welcome news to the people of ridgecrest, not weeks, not months, but years. >> yes. this is not unheard of it, we see major quakes along that ring of fire across the pacific rim. we know that those afternoon shocks last four years. but in this particular instance it's very unwelcome news. i want to point out a couple

things if we can zoom in. this is where that seismic activity has been for the last two-plus days. they are intercepting faults. this is the little lake fault. and as she describinged activity that's materialized towards china lake. and then there's the intercepting fault which is the airport lake fault. you can see kind of the power has clustered around ridgecrest. the 7.1, that's the main shock. the 6.4, that was a shock -- this is the underlying structure of the land mass, and it's telling us it's going to pull apart. and when the 6.4 magnitude earthquake occurred, people in los angeles said that lasted for 30 seconds. well, it probably felt like it lasted for 30 seconds because all of that energy, and this one, by the way, is eight times

as much energy associated with the earthquake. but it takes a while for that energy to kind of calm down. so it surely did feel like shaking for that long. well, the 7.1 magnitude, that, literally was 20 to 25 seconds long. so way longer than the foreshock 6.4 that occurred on july 4th. here is the map. all of these are faults. this is a very seismic region. and the fact that we haven't seen an earthquake take place here for 20 years of this magnitude is significant. it is abnormally quiet. and now, we're starting to see things get ramped up across this region. typically, we would have seen over 20 years earthquakes of this magnitude. for smaller earthquakes, maybe a

little more. five years or so. this doesn't have anything to do with the san andreas fault. that's a huge tectonic plate. these are tiny faults along the region. tiny faults with big impact that ripple out into the usa. by the way, they checked the infrastructure, they say it's fine. they say the airport is continuing to operate. and bakersfield has had damage. we've had reports of shaking take place in mexico. so, here in the desert, this is very isolated, but the impacts have been huge, natalie, so, we could do well, this is out in the desert. well, this is what happened. finally, the ground has opened up. back to you. >> right. and 178 finally is passable, not that section. karen, thank you so much. lfriday's earthquake caused

same area the day before. no deaths or serious injuries have been reported, we're happy to say, quake experts warn strong aftershocks are likely. the mayor of ridgecrest is asking citizens to be patient as the city dealing with the aftermath following the earthquake. she said some residents are sleeping outside for safety. >> i would like to say a few words to our own citizens. many of them have experienced something that is very traumatic. somewhat unknown for most of them. and many of them are sleeping outside tonight. i know that it is a difficult situation, they're fearful to be in their homes. and we are offering any services, as noted earlier. we places for people to shelter here. but many are choosing to just be with their neighbors, both in

their sidewalks, in their driveways, and some of them are in the streets. we're asking everyone to drive safely, be careful, watch for these people and understand that we are doing the very best we can. it is not an impossible task to take care of all of this, but it is going to be a longer task than we thought the other day. >> seismologists we've been hearing from have warned more aftershocks are likely to occur. and that has prompted the ridgecrest police chief to issue a warning to all of those living in the area. >> when the stores are open and things like that, make sure that you're stocking up, just in case, that we have something bigger than we had today, ands, you know, stuff starts crumbling and these stores can't get back open. we need to make sure that -- and

if we can't get to you right away, you have to be able to take care of yourself for a period of time. so, i know that we all appreciate that we need to be prepared. and i know it's difficult that we always say we will, but now is the time. so prepare yourself, especially for the next, i would say, week, two weeks. this isn't going to stop in the near future. as we know, the aftershocks. they haven't slowed down since the 7.1. there for a period of time, it seemed like they just kept -- there was a constant vibration, so be prepared. >> well, when disaster strikes, stores often close. but our paul vercammen found one store open, a liquor store, here's what it looked like after the quake.

>> reporte >> reporter: i'm here inside this convenient store in richmond. see what happened, stuff knocked down everywhere. bottles off the shelves broken here. the owner anton says in the two days they've been rocked by the quake inside the store. he believes they have had more than $100,000 worth of damage. you can see things off shelves. glass and bottles everywhere. it's going to be a long time cleaning up. but to the credit of the people in the store, they stayed open. we've seen a steady stream of people coming in to grab whatever it is they need, even water. >> people often look out for one another. employees at an albertson's supermarket were doing just that right after the earthquake. >> everybody okay? did you get hurt?

is everybody okay? i'm trying to see if anybody is hurt. the air is really thick. dusty. this is a bad one. this must be the one -- that's got to be at least 7. >> well, that's the scene in one store. now, we have the scene in a hotel. earlier, my colleague cyril vaugner, they own a motel in ridgecrest, they described the

moment it started shaking. >> i was checking a customer in, and we had the shake at 8:05, we stepped out. and we wept back in and right outside the desk, it was massive. it was the first time i was feeling something. i felt like the whole building collapsed. we just ran out on the road. i could hear the sounds of earthquake. the rattling, the shaking, the whole building was shaking to a point that i felt like the whole roof was going to fall down. yeah, it was bad township it was really bad from what we experienced yesterday. i just started crying. i just felt that we are not going to survive this and all. every moment, i was feeling that's it. and then we riched to the super8

sign. me and the other guests, we just held each other tight. and we were just praying for the shakes to stop. >> i had gone through -- >> sorry, go ahead. >> yeah, i had gone through to get groceries. and i was in the parking lot and i felt it. i just out out the car, just closed my car. my car was literally jumping, you know, up and down, front and back. and i felt like i had just hit my car. it was crazy. i've never seen anything like this in my life. it was scary. >> so, that's how bad the roads were? the roads were shaking so much that you couldn't control your car? >> yeah -- no, i was out of the car. the car was moving. and i was -- i had to -- i was working to keep my balance on the ground, you know. >> i was scared that the cars

might just hit me. so, i just went to the property next door, like we were just walking. we weren't able to walk, it was so shaky, we weren't able to maintain our balance. >> did you look for a place to hide? or was there no place available near you? >> well, right outside the office is the main road. and the cars were just moving, you know, so it wasn't safe for me to go with the customer on the road. so, i was just holding her, she was an old lady. i was just holding her tight. we were supporting each other. we talked to the super8 sign, we felt that was something to hold on or that would just collapse down. that's what we felt was the safest place at that moment. right across that was the road, and that was not safe for us. all the guests were out in the parking lot -- >> tell me more about that. tell me more about the guests. how were they reacting? >> everyone was panicked.

fortunately, we have the usgs team with us at our location, so they did warn us that we were going to get some shocks later on. that's the reason. we were all prepared. we cautioned all our guests to be alert. everyone just rushed out of their rooms. we have a few accessible guests, they were in wheel shachairs. basically the 8:05 shock, all the guests were out, and we requested them to be out for a bit. even the team from the ucla here who are actually, you know, supporting the earthquake. they were here right there. and they just -- you know, they were really helpful. they kept everyone calm. we all were out here. they were scared. >> hotel owners describing what they went through. now, some residents describe being shaken awake from their beds to a terrifying scene.

>> it was like real shaky. before anything -- you could actually hear something on the outside -- like the houses and stuff, but everything was real shaky. it was like, once it actually hit. everything was falling over. everything was shaking. it felt like something out of a movie, honestly. i grabbed my son, he's little. grabbed my son and grabbed my girlfriend and just tried to huddle up. >> it's very scary. he's 7 months old. i think he kind of realizes, he's a baby. i felt like he was scared. >> what did you feel? >> i felt like -- it was scary. it's a scary situation. nothing really happens here in this town. stuff like this, it's just scary. >> well, here's an example of all of the different types of people and all different situations that were impacted. the earthquake also stopped the

fun at knottsberry farm, and the famous amusement park. >> yeah, it's an earthquake. >> oh, my god! >> this is video from crystal cox who said she and her family were in line for that, there you see, in the distance, the tallest ride in the park when the quake starts. she said the rides started to sway, and you can only hope that people weren't on the ride at the time. i would have had a heart attack. our coverage of the quake continues next, we'll be live from the town that has been hit hardest. >> oh, my god. pampers is the first and only diaper with three extra absorb channels. they stay up to three times drier so babies can sleep soundly all night pampers stand up to chronic migraine with botox®. what if you had fewer headaches and migraines a month?

>> announcer: this is cnn breaking news. welcome back to our viewers here in the united states and all around the world, we appreciate you joining us. i'm natalie allen. southern california went 20 years without a major earthquake. now, it's had two in two days. late friday, a 7.1 quake rocked the high desert north of los angeles, near the town of ridgecrest. that's the same place hit by a 6.4 tremor the day before. damage is significant, including gas leaks and house fires caused by those gas leaks. no deaths, though, have been reported and no serious injuries. more than 3,000 customers are without power across the quake zone. to deal with the crisis, california's governor has activated the state emergency operations. alex field joins us once again from ridgecrest. you know, a lot of people in california shrug small tremors off, because they deal with them

all the time, but this was not something anyone there, including you, shrugged off. >> reporter: absolutely, they have that 6.4 quake on thursday. they were expecting hundreds of aftershocks to follow. the aftershocks are still coming. we just felt one here just a moment ago. but what many people did not anticipate was that they would actually feel something larger and more powerful than what they felt on thursday. but that is exactly what happened. that 7.1 felt throughout this community. sparking not only fear and anxiety, but creating some damage. officials still trying to understand exactly how much damage. there are no reported fatalities at this point, and there are also no reports of flattened buildings at this point. but crews will be out to survey what kind of structural damage there is early on in the immediate aftermath of that quake, we could smell natural gas. there was concern out there the area about gas leaks. we also saw a large fire in the

area that we were in. that was one, at least two, perhaps more than that. that's been a major focus of officials tonight. as for people who have experienced another earthquake, many of them in their homes, we're hearing a lot of them are simply afraid to go back into their homes. they are in a lot of cases without power, and many people are just choosing to sleep outside where they feel it's safer with more and more aftershocks expected to continue in the coming days and months, natalie. >> yeah, those aftershocks for years. it's interesting that people in las vegas felt this, in nevada, and los angeles felt it. that just goes to show what the people of ridgecrest dealt with, because it was right there. and such a small town to go through something like this as well. doesn't seem right. >> reporter: absolutely. i mean, it truly felt violent

for somebody who experienced it. you know, you hear this described all the time. you hear people talk about the rattling and the noise and the comparison to a train. but to really feel that violent shaking, it's pretty terrifying. and we really don't know the extent of injuries, how many people are injured, but again, not hearing about fatalities at this point. one thing we know that has been really critical in terms to the response to this is the fact that an emergency declaration had already been issued as a result of thursday's quake. that had helping to marshal resources into the area and continue the throw of people for services who need them, natalie. >> they certainly won't feel alone now that the state is coming to the rescue to help people out. alex field, thank you again. los angeles station kcat was in the middle of a newscast when the earthquake struck friday evening. the news anchors calmly explained what was going on,

then headed for safety. >> we are experiencing quite a bit of shaking, if you'll give us a brief moment here, we're making sure that nothing is going to come down in the studio here. >> and it is going for quite a bit, everybody, it continues -- >> it's a very strong earthquake. 8:21 here on the air. we're experiencing very strong shaking. i think we need to get under the desk. >> we're going to break. >> we'll be right back. we'll be right back. >> two large earthquakes in two days. felt all the way to los angeles. we'll have more on the 7.1 quake in southern california next. please stay with us. but perhaps this year, a more exhilarating endeavor awaits. defy the laws of human nature,at the summer of audi sales event.

determine representation in congress and allocation of federal funds. cnn's abby phillip has mr. trump's reaction. >> reporter: president trump signaling he may use an executive toward force a citizenship question on to the 2020 census. >> we have four or five ways we can do it. it's one of the ways we're thinking about doing it. >> reporter: having lost to the supreme court and as the forms are being printed without the question, trump seems undaunted. >> we can stop the printing now and maybe do an aden dumb, after we get a positive decision. >> reporter: arguing history is on his side. >> if you look at the history of our country it's almost always been asked. >> reporter: but both claims are false. the question has not been asked since 1950. and district it's drawn based on the total number of people, not citizens in a particular area. sources tell cnn that trump is frustrated with commerce

secretary wilbur ross for caving and announcing publicly that the administration is abandoning the effort. when asked if ross' job is safe, trump said -- >> yeah, it is. wilbur is a good man. >> reporter: and trump again using the strong economy to attack another official he appointed. the federal reserve chairman. >> we don't have a fed that knows what they're doing. >> reporter: meantime as democratic lawmakers and watchdog groups describe deplorable, dirty and overcrowded conditions at border detention facilities, trump says he doesn't see a problem. >> i've seen some of those places, they are run beautifully. they're clean, they're good. >> reporter: the president seemingly more concerned with his 2020 rival former vice president joe biden. >> you look at what joe biden has done with china. biden didn't know what the hell he was doing. biden didn't know about that. >> reporter: at a here today, justice department lawyers told a judge that her looking at ways to include the citizenship question in the 2020 census.

sanctions or eu sanctions in what is described as extra territorial manner. nevertheless, the supreme court in gibraltar have ruled that the authorities there can detain the vessel for an additional 14 days, over and above the original 72 hours it has under international law. meanwhile, the crew of the vessel are being questioned not as criminals, but as witnesses where the vessel is going, what it is doing. it is known that it took 2 1/2 months to get to the persian gulf around the horn of africa, around the african coast to get to gibraltar. at times on that journey, it switched off its tracking system that is a bit suspicious. and we also know when it set off on its journey it was registered to panama. in late ma, the panamanian authorities deregistered it. we've also learned that the spanish acting foreign minister and the iranian authorities are

both accusing gibraltar and britain for acting at the request of the united states. now, the authorities in gibraltar deny that. they're saying that this is not a political decision, that they were not acting at the request of another country. but the tensions continue to rise. a former revolutionary guard called commander in iran says that a british vessel should be snatched and held by the iranian authorities until the "grace 1 ""released. so tensions on this continue to rise. nic robertson, cnn, london. in venezuela, a major national holiday independence day has been marked with political division. on one side president nicolas maduro who oversaw a military parade and called for dialogue. on the other, national assembly president juan guaido who led a new round of anti-government protests. those protests fueled by a

damming u.n. report that blames the government for introduces of extra judicial killings but the governor and reporters dismissed the findings. >> translator: here we live for freedom and peace and dialogue. and ordered by chavez, fidel castro and now nicolas maduro. >> translator: all those who would be working against the revolution in other places will be serving 30, 40, 50 years of jail. and here they go. >> translator: the united states are invasive. to say united states it means invasion, it means violence, it means war. >> meantime, the u.n. human rights chief announced that the maduro government released 22 detainees. they include a high-profile judge and a journalist. after months of pro-democracy rallying in sudan

which have been deadly, citizens are finally celebrating.the military and the opposition receivered a power-sharing agreement. thousands took to the streets chanting and waving flags because they believed their revolution has won. after weeks of stalled talks, the military council and the country's pro-democracy movement have now agreed to form a rotating joint council that will rule for at least three years before transitioning to a civilian government. all of this, of course, after the dictator was ousted back in the spring. well, just a few hours from now, the newest british royal will be christened in a private ceremony at windsor castle. this comes exactly two months after baby archie was born to prince harry and meghan markle. but the news media isn't invite. ed. that means the public isn't. cnn's max foster has more about it. ♪ >> reporter: so far, we've had limited sightings of baby

tremor shook the area. and it's been followed by countless aftershocks. authorities are waiting until after day break to continue to assess the damage. but so far, thankfully no dentals or serious injuries have been reported. the quake was felt about 140 miles east of the epicenter in las vegas, nevada. earlier my colleague cyril vaughnier spoke with jarod greenberg who was announcing an nba game at the time. >> about 16 hours before the earthquake struck i was awake in my hotel room on the trip in las vegas, i fest about 4:10 local time, the swaying feeling, i never had experienced that before. once it happened in the first quarter of our game, it was the orlando magic and san antonio spurs, we felt at the broadcast location we had at midcourt, just the swaying as if someone was taking our platform and moving it left to right. and it flashed me back earlier

to 16 hours in the day to the first time i experienced might first earthquake. what was interesting in it about it, on the campus of unlv, we have two multi gasimultaneous g going on in two gyms. the area where we were in for the san antonio game is considerably smaller, it holds a lot less people. and the headliner that we were out here was taking place across the hall at the mac center, with around 18,000 fans, and they sold out tonight. so that venue, right away cancelled their game. meanwhile, during our game, the players and referees running up and down on the court expressed to me that they didn't not even feel it. we had light fixtures shaking a

bit. it was a live feeling for me to have this twice in my life in a 16-hour span. >> we're looking at the pictures now of the pelicans game. it's pretty clear. people are just leaving the stands. especially in the back rose, people are getting up and they're leaving. that was right around the time when the game was flat out interrupted. >> right, again, what you're looking at again is the mac center, that arena right here seats between 17 and 18,000 fans and was at capacity. because diane williamson, the much anticipated debut in the draft was anticipated. and we're just down the hall, again, a much more intimate feel with less than 3,000 fans. there was way shy of capacity of 3,000 fans with us. >> was your game interrupted?

did your game -- was it suspended? >> so, what happened, was ours happened at the end of the first quarter. they continued play because players and referees and coaches didn't recognize what was happening. just the spectators and media recognized it. they continued playing through halftime. they valreall evaluated the cou deemed it wasn't a big issue. and they died to cancel after the third quarter. >> what was the reaction of the people. i know you said it was a lot more subdued in your gym. i understand that. >> right. >> did you leave the arena at any point during this process? >> i didn't, again, just to paint the picture here. what you're looking at the reason why i believe why fans in

the bigger venue, the big scoreboard that's extended above the court was visibly shaking, my television crew kopept takin live shots of that. that arena was seeing, they were seeing this monstrous scoreboard and video board visibly shaking. and in our arena, we don't have a video board or scoreboard that is suspended over midcourt. so, we didn't have that type. we just had light fixtures that our camerale crew was catching that were shaking but that paled in comparison to what you're seeing here at the mac center where clearly there was a lot more inge felt from the earthquake. >> thank you for watching "cnn newsroom," i'm natalie allen. for our viewers in the u.s., "new day" is next. for everyone else around the world, stay with us for "inside africa."
