11:33 pm
we certainly appreciate the recognition that it is a priority. but, you know, i think that i would people to put their money where their mouth is. i mean, the time for thoughts and prayers are is over with advocates feared could take years for the pedestrian bridge to be built. until then they're hoping leaders consider a quick build. sometimes all it takes is some traffic paint and you can actually implement things one much more quickly. >>to a much lower cost and hopefully prevent these tragedies from happening now. we're going to hold them accountable to make some changes. >>street safety advocates plan to put this goes spike right there on the hawley street overpass. they plan to have a ceremony there to not only honor the life lost, but also let it be a grave reminder to all. i'm sara stinson reporting in san carlos that too. >>while of course, another big story we've been following all day. a 7 point. oh, earthquake in humboldt county prompted a brief tsunami warning for the entire california coast sending people to seek shelter

to us saying their areas were rocked as well. >>this video shows the grocery aisle signs at release. moving side to side. this video shows the water in a pool in south sacramento, swaying back and forth. another resident told us the earthquake was barely noticeable, but he did see the pool water spilling out. meteorologist james light says next time you see a tsunami warning don't immediately panic. just get out of the tsunami zone. so steve, usually don't have to go very far to get out of this nominee's own. so, for example, here in old town in eureka. >>the first few blocks right on the shore in this his own. but you just have to go back a few blocks post or want to get out of it. >>white says it's been a while since we've seen a tsunami warning like this may be about. >>10 years ago or maybe a little bit less that a potential generators, tony, that has been a while since that happened, locally says the strongest earthquake we've had just off close to the shore quite some time. light says if you live in a tsunami

off the coast of humble county on thursday morning. and then triggered a tsunami warning spanning from the bay area all the way up to parts of oregon. for more on this kron four's grant lotus and vicki liviakis spoke with world-renowned seismologists doctor lucy jones. >>you've really dedicated your life to helping people deal with these things. how would you assess how things went this morning? >>i think people handled it pretty well. the good news is even though is a lot very large earthquake. it was far enough offshore that there wasn't really strong shaking on land. >>and but we had was, you know that part of california is used to these earthquakes and therefore knows how to handle pretty active area there certainly i would guess it would be the most powerful quake in somewhat. >>almost 30 years. >>on? no, no, no, all are out there was a very similar earthquake just a few years ago. the rio dell earthquake. it was closer to shore that when they did more damage.
12:04 am
>>they've had a magnitude 7.3 in 1992, then another one somewhere in the 2, thousands. that part of california gets those earthquakes but being offshore. very, very sparsely populated. that doesn't do as much damage, so rocking and rolling up. there are. can we expect more on the heels of this one? well, every earthquake triggers other makes other earthquakes more likely. and mostly they're smaller a nearby and we call them aftershocks. and with ability to trigger dies off with distance starts off with kind eyes off with magnitude. so this is probably all that's going to happen to the degree that we see more earthquakes probably only be it would really only be out there in that immediate region. we don't to triggering at distances beyond 100 kilometers or so for the size earthquake. i got the text message to drop cover and hold on a few seconds before. obviously, this is a working progress. the technology and you've been intimately involved with it. how is it performing what is the next step?
12:05 am
>>well, ever since i left the usgs, i'm no longer actively involved in the development of earthquake. early warning you were to tell you >>i was. i helped get it and they seem to be doing a really good job with it keeping it going. you know it at beginning erratically. it was never a problem. we said we could do this back in the 1980's, but we just couldn't afford the digital technology to get it to work before we had modern, you before these things that had improved. but now with the great tech technology, we can do it much more easily. and we seem work through a lot of the glitches. so we're much less likely to have problems. i point it out that, you know, when that first earthquake early warning is only a matter reason like 2 or 3 seconds worth of data. so if you're quick isn't even over when we're trying to estimate how big it so those early magnitudes that come out of the earthquake, early warning are always going to be very approximate. and so it's expect them to be modified
12:06 am
rather sustantially? i'm not sure what the early warning magnitude was for this. but i think it was 6. and then they went up the rate of it. you know. yeah, yeah. and that's not surprising because that first unit to seconds worth and then it 7 takes longer than that to happen. interesting. so the tsunami that didn't materialize. we got the warning. can you explain the dynamics of that tsunami white? it didn't. >>write so i i was not at all surprised to see those tsunami from this event to get it to nami. you have to change the shape of the seafloor. so when earthquake, epicenter is actually under the ocean. then you're moving on a fault in the rocks underneath the ocean and you have the potential for changing the shape of the seafloor. noaa has a policy that any time a magnitude 7 and a half or greater is happens under water. they issuing a warning and then they have a few places where there have some unusual things
12:07 am
in the past. so they go down a magnitude 7 and that humboldt county area is one of those regions. so the alert was triggered solely because there was a sep 7 point, oh, or greater under water. but to actually create a tsunami. you need to change the shape of the seafloor. and that means that the ground underneath needs to move out or are down and some what you need to change that vertical. and this earthquake was a strike slip earthquake that moved horizontally and therefore it didn't change shape. the seafloor generate a wave, but the way no a policy works is they don't use that seismological information they use only the magnitude and then they wait until that they see that there is no way showing up on boys. they're sea level measurement sites and then they cancel. when there's they have proof that there's no tsunami happening. so it's a very conservative approach that leads to a lot of false alarms. well, certainly better to be safe than sorry. that's that's
12:08 am
their principal there. we kind of got away with this one. you might say, what would it take for us to say lose cellphone receptions have a lot of damage what what the quote, unquote, big one that we all should be ready for. >>take this earthquake and put it on the hayward or hollywood fault that we would be seeing widespread disruption of services. we be seeing down buildings. we be seeing a lot more damage. >>proximity is really the name of the game with earthquakes. the shaking dies off with distance stream rapidly. so if i guess the big question here is what will we ever be able to actually predict? >>the big one. and if not, what's the next best thing we could be doing? >>i personally. i believe we will never predict earthquakes because you don't want me to predict every earthquake. you
12:09 am
want me to predict which of hundreds of earthquakes that happen every day in california will turn out to be big enough to do some damage. so you're wanting to predict the magnitude before it begins and the magnitude determined by how large an area moves in the on on the fall surface along with a fall. the bigger the earthquake. so we're actually not talking about how the earthquake begins, but how it that's what when it runs into an stops, it from growing into an even bigger earthquake. that's all. yeah. if that if what makes a stop is not determined before the earthquake begins. we'll never be able to predict earthquakes. and i think that's the most likely case. but so what should we do instead? think about it. would you rather have 2 hours to get out of a building or a building that doesn't fall down in the first place. well, yes, they write the bill. important we can do is to build stronger. so if i could get one thing changed about earthquakes, you know, forget
12:10 am
budget. what's the one thing really like to i'd like to see our building code change from saying try to make sure the building doesn't collapse on and you can crawl out alive to saying let's make buildings that we can use after the earthquake. and i would add about one percent to the cost of construction, but we would have cities we can come back to. so get me. one thing i could do that would be it. well, if we could give you what you want, we would do that. so let us that she gets her wish see jones as mile. just extraordinary. appreciate your time and expertise today. >>thanks for having such a privilege to have you with >>coming up, police released new photos of the gunman who they believe killed the united healthcare ceo. stay with us.
