it's about 100 miles away from the san andreas fault. it happened in an area the epicenter in a place called ridgecrest, described as extremely violent shaking. this is from ridgecrest, that's a house on fire that nbc's molly hunter told us that mpb got out safely. what we just learned from that mpbs conference is every earthquaking is an opportunity to learn what works, what doesn't as far as building structures, the warning systems, the cause of the quakes themselves, the fault lines and all of that. basically what they're saying is there's a converging of different faults that are now spreading. and we reto expect about 5% chance of another actual earthquake but most likely after shocks that they are experiencing right now. joining me now by phone is nbc news "20/20" ben pu in las vegas, nevada where he felt the earthquake. there was as actual nba game going on that i believe had to be stopped because of it. ben, take us through what you experienced please. >> i'm right here on the las vegas strip. i felt about approximately 30 second

the shaking locally in ridgecrest is similar to what we would feel in the event of the san andreas, he word or calaveras magnitude. >> reporter: experts say there is a 3% chance of a larger earthquake from now over the next couple of days and the likelihood will continue to decrease as time passes. >> we are on the boundary between the pacific plate in the north american plate. the san andreas is the main player in accommodating the defamation between the two but there are other zones across california and even nevada that take up some of the relative motion between the plates.>> reporter: the bottom line is that here in the bay area everything is normal but he did say the motion down south is consistent with what we could see happen here. jackie ward kpix 5. >> we have continuing coverage on the earthquakes in southern california on our website and you can find it is after preparedness tips on www.cbssanfrancisco.com. >>> wild morning for chp and the east bay officers chased in oakland fire truck through three counties after a man stole the truck. there is video taken from a nearby ca

a 100 miles away for example from the san andreas fault. so for what that's worth. but you can see why people are really concerned well. they're nervous there because they have just experienced what we read was what 1700. >>quakes in a period just leading up to 4 o'clock today, this is before the large quake that day just after 8 today. i don't know lawrence if you have a moment, perhaps you can you know they just one second are sending listen in again the usgs skies. >>plus hear what he cites widespread impact in the los angeles area. that it near the epicenter region, the rich breast area. you know those those folks are having to deal with the law we haven't gotten a direct reports here but i'm sure there's lots of damage and they are probably dealing with aftershocks as well. >>they want hear your geology is what information will they provide well they're going to be out in the field. as soon as they can as best they can obviously it's night time right now they may be limited this naval air weapons station. ok, so there's a you know unexploded ordinance issues th

if a 7.8 on the san andreas will be a lot bigger.t consider this is only 10% of the san andreas so it's a pretty big earthquake. >> going from memory, though, the earthquake we had was like easter sunday. >> okay on easter sunday 2010, april 4th, a magnitude 7.2, i haven't been including that because it wasn't in california. the rupture was completely within mexico. so, yes, we felt it in probably a similar sort of distance -- well, it didn't feel quite as strong here. but it was not one of our fault systems. so when we're talking about earthquake rates, what's happening on the faults, i didn't include that. >> you talked about yesterday there's no way to forget if this is all random. >> all of this is random and it's something people don't like. on top of that random distribution, we add earthquake triggering. so when we talk about a random distribution, that's of sequences. this is still all one sequence for all that we've had couple thousand earthquakes probably at this point. the count was about 1,500 between the 7.1 happened. no

it will be happening to the san andreas at some point to. >> the san andreas, we said between a 6.4 and the 7.1 is about a factor of eight. 7.1 to 7.8 is the same difference and it will be that much bigger. is 7.8 on the san andreas is going to be eight times bigger than this earthquake and of course a lot of it will be closer to us, but this is only 10 percent the size of the san andreas earthquake is a pretty big earthquake. i don't think we should underestimate just because we didn't get hit that badly, just how bad it is right now. >> easter sunday of 2010, there was april 4th, that earthquake at magnitude of seven-point to, i haven't been including that because it wasn't in california. the rupture was completely within mexico so yes we felt it and probably a similar sort of distance well, it didn't feel quite as strong here since we were farther away, but it was not one of our fault system so when were talking about earthquake rates, what's happening on the faults, i didn't include that. >> yesterday you talked about there's no way to predict. >> that's right, all of this is random

two-thirds of the motion happened on the san andreas.he rest of it gets smeared out through other faults. this is the 10% to 20% that is smeared out. >> reporter: this is los angeles, do you see these kinds of events in the utah? >> yeah, the farther east you go the less frequent they are but we are pretty sure there are magnitude 7s insult lake city once every thousand years here in this region, i think 1915 and 1854 and 1972 were all post magnitude 7 coming up through somewhere between here and up to reno, nevada, . >> reporter: i have a question about the conjugate system here, the fact that these two are conjoined, does that add any energy or is it just happenstance that these two are connected? >> as far as we can tell, the better picture we get as we put in more the more often we see multiple faults. we think they probably -- most of them are like this. >> the way we would describe that as the earthquakes were a lot simpler when we had less data. [laughter] >> we are back in the 5% zone since this hit, correct? >> correct, every ea

we always have the risk on the san andreas fault.isk of having another one of this magnitude right in the same area that it happened near ridgecrest has gone down a lot. like the probability now for the next week of having something bigger than a 7.1 is like 1%. but they're still expecting hundreds of aftershocks of magnitude 3 and above. some of those aftershocks are likely going to be felt outside the local area. >> i learned a new term with this series of quake which was foreshock. that after the 6.4 when we had the 7.1, it turned out the 6.4 was a foreshock to the 7.1. how do you know the 7.1 isn't a foreshock to something else? >> we don't know that. and there is a 1% chance that in the next week, there could be a bigger one there. in that case we'd have to reclassify it as a foreshock. the probabilities are dropping as the time goes by. and the aftershock sequence is getting less vigorous so i think we're not as worried. the probabilities are lower than they were after the magnitude 6 hnt 4. >> that's good news. you brought up

could this trigger another earthquake on the san andreas?ood news is, size mol jgists say it is about 100 miles away. the bad news, the san andreas fault is already locked and loaded and it could go on its own at any time. >> and the other thing everyone wants to know, are they any closer to being able to predict earthquakes? >> reporter: predicting quakes with exact certainty is unprediu unpredictab unpredictable. they know how long the pressure has been building. they don't know when it will hit or how catastrophic it will be. >> all right. thank you so much. >>> still ahead, you've seen it on youtube. young people jumping of savings and service. whoa. travis in it made it. it's amazing. oh is that travis's app? it's pretty cool, isn't it? there's two of them. they're multiplying. no, guys, its me. see, i'm real. i'm real! he thinks he's real. geico. over 75 years of savings and service. you might or joints.hing for your heart... but do you take something for your brain. with an ingredient originally discovered in jellyfish, prevagen has b

the big one and we usually talk about the magnitude 7.8 earthquake that can happen on the san andreas particular earthquake happens on an average every 150 yea rs. earthquake happens on an average every 150 years. it hasn't happened in this part of the state for over 300 years. it can happen today, tomorrow, it is going to happen. the best thing we can do is be ready. with this early warning system in place, that will provide us a little more protection against once it happens we can do something before the shaking arrives at our location. thank you very much indeed. thank you. the headlines on bbc news. conservative party members are warned not to vote more than once in the leadership election, after a bbc investigation found some had received multiple ballot papers. about 20 people are injured — two seriously — after a powerful gas explosion rocked a florida shopping centre. the duke and duchess of sussex's son has been christened at windsor castle. there's been criticism for excluding the public and keeping secret the identity of archie's godparents. let us stay with that story. th

next week and 80% chance of a magnitude 5 two faults were involved in today's quake but not the san andreas fault more than 100 miles away california is no stranger to earthquakes. in 1989 a 6.9 quake devastated the bay area as the world series was getting under way. and in '94, a 6.7 ravaged north ridge near l.a both killed dozens today in los angeles, many wondered why they didn't get an alert from l.a.'s early warning system >> the shake alert didn't go off which is really weird. the shake alert didn't go off. i checked it >> reporter: authorities say the system didn't fail. rather the quake's intensity in l.a. was too low to trigger an alert. >> the system actually worked as designed >> reporter: seismologists say the odds of a major san andreas earthquake are 2% today's quake does not change that >> thank you and patrick heely of our los angeles station knbc has been watching this unfold all afternoon in the city. patrick. >> reporter: good evening, we're on one of l.a.'s major thoroughfares at a spot where a water mane broke at the time of the earthquake was it caused by the quake we

yes, and so the very big ones on the san andreas fault happen ones on the san andreas fault happen onere i live in southern california, the segment of the san andreas fault near us the segment of the san andreas fault near us hasn't broken in over 300 yea rs. near us hasn't broken in over 300 years. that is a mystery for us and we are trying to figure that out. when that earthquake does happen it will be many times bigger than the earthquake that happened last night. if that were to happen do you think californians are adequately prepared? i think they are getting more and more prepared every year. i think this last earthquake really showed that even though there was a lot of damage, people knew what to do, they had supplies put aside. the state of california, the office of emergency services, is very well prepared to deal with this sort of disaster in the state. and you are working on to you on an early warning system for people? that's correct, yes. iwork warning system for people? that's correct, yes. i work with the shake alert early warning system, which cove rs alert early warni

the san andreas earthquake expected to happen at some point. which will affect a much larger population. what happened tonight and what happened yesterday is not going to make the san andreas earthquake anymore or less likely. every year in southern california the odds of a major san andreas earthquake happening are around 2%. that remains the number. >> i know authorities by ground and air flew around and drove around looking for damage. do you have any idea whether or not they plan to make another round tomorrow morning? >> they will be assessing damage as much as possible. we have heard in l.a. and the city and county along with lax airport, they have done all the assessment they need to do. no report of major structural damage. no injuries. i was actually in hollywood at the time the earthquake hit in a movie theater. lester holt was in a movie theater. similar to the day before. you felt a rolling motion. if you're in your house and a very large truck drives by. and you feel the motion. it keeps going longer and longer and started to get m

the big one him at a hayward, the san andreas the calaveras all slip faults. still warm right now. oakland has 66, closer to the shoreline. livermore at 79 and san francisco has 72. santa rosa about 80 degrees. pretty good seabreeze. right by the shoreline, northwestern breeze. in combination with lotion temperatures is keeping the shoreline cool. in fact the influence will spread and lend where the numbers will come down about 3- 6 degrees. a little bit of a cool change for the bay area as high pressure gets booted out into the eastern pacific and the low- pressure approaches. below comes down and the numbers come down as well. a little bit cooler tomorrow but still very pleasant inland, just not as warm as it was today. futurecast shows high clouds and low clouds mixing overnight and then back to the shoreline by later in the day on sunday. and a mostly sunny sunday. it looks pretty good really. for tonight, we will bring the clouds crowds along the coastline., mostly inland temperatures, they do cool on sunday. in the week ahead, mostly sunny in the afternoon. but, on the average

these two did not happen on the san andreas fault but where it occurred, did it teach you anything aboutre they occurred and why? >> well, the system was in the eastern california shear zone and disconnects up to the eastern sierra nevada so east of yosemite valley, for example up here and that is related to the differential stresses ongoing between the pacific plate and the north american plate. the pacific plate is moving to the northwest at a faster rate than the north american plate and so there is a shear zone that is accommodating that stress. >> professor he -- >> yes, it does teach us a lot . >> we appreciate the time y talk to talk to us. thank you . >> thank you. >>> earthquake coverage continues online at ktvu.com where you will find all the latest developments on the homepage. >>> the ghost ship warehouse trial resumes tomorrow and defendant, derick almena is expected to take the stand in his own defense. the trial has been on break for the extended independence day holiday. ktvu crime reporter, henry lee tells us what we can expect in court this week. >> reporter: ghost ship

>> depends -- >> the 6.4. >> yeah, the 6.4 with the san andreas, depends on where it is. if it's on the southern segment, we would have a lot of strong after shocks up to four minutes. from 6.4 near ridge crest, in between the see -- sierras and the mojave, i felt it, in southwest l.a. county, i felt slow-rolling shaking. it lasts 20 seconds. based on what we know, that means it's coming from a distant earthquake. sure enough it was. people were stressed that they couldn't get on the usgs website. there's so many people trying to get information right away. when you have millions all of a sudden try to visit a website, it can't handle it too well. it affects millions all at once sometimes. so peace of mind comes from you knowing what to do and how to stay safe. in california, most people -- in california, what we know, we're looking at stats like you're more likely to be injured in a car accident on a daily basis than an earthquake. but the problem in california is injury and economic disruption. we're seeing that with some of the events infolding right now in ridge crest

you can see the san andreas and that of course is much larger. it's all about two different places that border each other. the two different places that helps to grind against each other and create that pressure. airport lake fault zone is regional and smaller in size and average a 5.0 to a 6.0. they had some of the biggest events in california's history. easear a lot more population centers. the airport lake zone is near less populated areas though that meanslets to the folks who live there. any damage is damage none the less. as we look at the activity, the 6.4 that started all of this was on the southern branch of the fault zones and then right up here on the northern side. we had the 7.1 last friday. this of course is a good reminder for us in earthquake country. if we get an earthquake, do not run outside of the building. try to run outside. falling debris is a hazard that could kill you. the interior is the best. hallways are not always the safest. you want to get under a desk or table. drop, cover, and hold. we will have further details in

i think the san andreas is a little too far. >> the san andreas is a fall, so there's always that risk. >> exactly. >> can you describe the activity in that area? >> yeah. we don't have that data right at hand. >> no, nothing. >> we have had a couple of other swarms in southern california in recent days. nothing like that was occurring in this area in the last couple months. >> there was a 4.2 just about 30 minutes before the foreshocks. that is classic. i knew when i saw that page come through, i hadn't seen that in awhile. >> there is also a slight chance that we could have a larger than main shock right now. >> that's about 5% chance for every earthquake. and like any other earthquake, probably has about a 1 in 20 chance that this is not the largest event in the sequence. >> spell your name. >> rod, last name graves. >> your title? >> seismologist with the u.s. geological survey. >> we're getting feed back from viewers and users of the alert system. they say that in los angeles, it did not work. >> it worked. it was not broadcast on shake alert. the system worked, but the usgs syste

calculated thing, probably greater than 50/50. >> question for you, considering it's location to the san andreas fault, is there an increase in risk. -- >> well, maybe slightly. but welcome we have never sn a the main shock and this tha to the san closer to this event. but i think even for this earthquake. >> but keep in mind that it is an active fault and there is always that risk at play. >> it doesn't increase the risk or decrease it. >> exactly. >>. >> can you describe that -- >> we don't have that data at hand. we have swarms of other people in southern california. nothing like that was coming across int was about 40 minutes before the main shot. but i know that when i saw this i have not seen the valley in awhile, we could have an event larger than what we're calling the main shock right now. >> that is about a 5% chance for every earthquake. and like any other, this has a 1 in 20 chance this is not the largest in the sequence. >> can you spell your name quick? >> rob graf. >> and your title? >> seismologist with the gee graphical service. >> we're getting feed back and th usgs -- ing los

the san andreas fault is running from northwest to southeast like a big diagonal cut. against it, perpendicular to what are another set of faults that we call cross faults. what is typical is to have bigger earthquakes on faults that are oriented like the san andreas fault that are moving right laterally. what is less typical is cross fault rupture that is less lateral. when 6.4 occurred that was on a cross fault. as was the structure of the main fault and 7.1 is on the main fault. just northwest of the intersection, we know the rupture went to the northwest. it also went to the southeast. they confirmed fault surface rupture farther east on 178. we know that fault broke along it. we are going to do reconnaissance and look for surface fault associated with the new main shock of 7.1. that is about it, thank you. >> thank you very much. now if we could turn our attention to the city of ridgecrest's mayor. >> thank you for coming. i would like to say a few words to our own citizens. many of them experienced something very traumatic and unknown to most of us, many of them

lucy jones is saying this is not along the san andreas fault. this is an area of much smaller faults. and since back in the '80s there used to be a number of smaller quakes in this area that were 5.0 magnitude or higher. however, this is right now we believe the strongest magnitude 6 quake in surn california since 1999 when they had a bit larger one. now, when you have quakes of this size, 6.4 or higher, there's 134 of them that happen around the world annually. but this is going to blow your mind because this is what could still happen. when you have a 6.4 magnitude quake, how many after shocks can you have and what is typical? it's typical to have at least one that's a 5.4 or higher. we've had a 4.7. that would fall into this category. how many 4.4 or higher? we could have ten of those after this event. how many at 3.4 or higher, 100. i'll show you this map here. this is going to blow your mind as well. it's hard to see so we're going to zoom in on this. if we can take this full. any little yellow dot you see here is a tremor in the last week.

fault which is south of where we are here in ridgecrest particularly the southern san andreas fault sees earthquakes, a major ones every 150 years or so and the last one came in the 1850's so dot com. >>under the earthquake tab you'll find an interactive map and other stories on the damage in ridgecrest you can also find information on what you should have in your own earthquake hit at home chair. >>the big story tonight, the field of democrats running for president has just gotten smaller east bay, congressman eric swalwell drop out of the race today saying his poll numbers indicate his chances of winning the nomination are no longer viable kron four's dan kerman is live in dublin ight, we're swalwell held his news conference stand. >>that's right it's here at the i b e w headquarters where small was having his campaign headquarters and he came in today saying that he has no regrets about running for president, but it's just not going to happen this time. >>today our presidential campaign. but it is the beginning an opportunity. in congress with a new perspective shaped by the wive

. >> san andrea and hayward pose the biggest threat for us. i met with stein overlooking the san andreas and asked him to show us what are happens to buildings during a big quake. >> what happens is in an erl quake, the ground shakes frks side to side and torques. there's torsion. you can see how weak this building is. this is the same building and all i've done is snapped in these little corner braces with seoing snaps. >> this is strengthening the corners. >> that's it. that's the only difference between this building and this building. but look. >> stein explained that cities built on mud flats around the bay will feel the most shaking in a major quake. he created a app as for which loems likely to collapse in a quake. >> any home where you step up two or three steps to go in the front door has a crawl space. those crawl spaces are the problems and living over a garage, they tend to be weak at the neepz in about 175, the codes changed considerably. if your home was built before then it, reads work. >> stein says retrofitting could run as li

it is a fault line not as famous as the san andreas or the hayward. but has produced moderate earthquakes in the past. >> this fault is a little more quite than the other ones but has experienced 5.4 and 5.8 in 1980. no stranger to modern earthquakes. >> reporter: d strike slip faults moved about five inches eight miles deep. this scientist believes that this earthquake will follow the standard pattern of aftershock followed by a series of aftershocks. he said unlike the earthquakes in ridgecrest, that doesn't appear to be a precursor to a larger shake, although there is a chance. >> about a week after the earthquake itself in the vicinity of the original earthquake. after that, the probability goes down. too much smaller numbers indicate to me see her after that. >> reporter: the usgs measuring equipment is right at the epicenter there was probably 5- 10 seconds of shaking and likely no damage. the greenville fault is a subsidiary fault of the san andreas and has the capability for larger quakes. >> the greenville fault, because it is limited in its

given that your state is built on the san andreas fault, tell us built on the san andreas fault, telly treat the risk of earthquakes, because we we re the risk of earthquakes, because we were hearing from an expert hourly who said there will be more tremors and that california has gone a long time without a significant earthquake. there are two types of people in la, people like myself who have an earthquake kit, shoes under their bed, everything ready to go when it happens. and people who lived through the big earthquake in the 90s, and it struck everything, and they say it's fine, we can handle the big one, it's no big deal. tell us about your emergency shelter, where is it? i have a water supply. i have a bag to get out and run. she was under my bed. food supply. i have all of the things. the duct tape and plastic sheeting, that kind of stuff. you are really well—prepared. that kind of stuff. you are really well-prepared. i am, i like to be well-prepared. i am, i like to be well prepared. but the important thing is it doesn't stop you getting on with daily life, you are not paranoi

that boundary, we reallyjust call it the san andreas fault, but that's not really correct.t fault, but there are hundreds and hundreds of other faults that are taking up the motion of those two plates. this was one of those faults. the stress is going to continue to build up in the crest in different places. that stress will be released during earthquakes. for all that we are able to do on our planet, for all of the things we can change, this is something we can never change? that's right. this is a normal process of the earth, just like volcanic eruptions, and weather, and other things. we just need to learn how to live with earthquakes. we need to learn how to withstand earthquakes. we need to just make sure our cities are resilient and our population is prepared. the conservative leadership election continues in earnest with borisjohnson and jeremy hunt taking part in two hustings today in nottingham and cardiff. with ballot papers sent out in the last few days, the bbc has learned that around 1,000 tory party members have received two ballot papers in the post. the cons

given your state is built on the san andreas fault, tell us built on the san andreas fault, tell us aboutreat the risk of earthquakes. we were hearing from an expert who said there will certainly be more tremors, and california has gone a long time without a significant earthquake. there are two types of people i've encountered in la. people like myself who have an earthquake kit under their bed, everything ready to go when they happen. and people who lived through the big earthquake back in the 90s and shake everything off and say everything is fine, it isn't a big deal. tell us about your emergency shelter, where is it? i have a water supply. i have a bag out back i can run out with. supply. i have a bag out back i can run outwith. she was under my bed. food supply. i have everything. duct tape, plastic sheeting, that kind of stuff. you are very well prepared. i am,i stuff. you are very well prepared. i am, ilike stuff. you are very well prepared. i am, i like to be well prepared. chuckles but it doesn't stop you getting on with day to day life, you're not paranoid about the threat of i

the san andreas is the largest fault but there's hundreds of other faults taking up the motion of those. the stress will continue to build up in the crust in different places and that stress will be released during earthquakes. for all we are able to do and things we can change, this is something we can never change. that's right. this is a normal process of the earth, just like volcanic eruptions and weather. we need to learn how to live with earthquakes and had to withstand them and we need to make sure our cities are resilient and our population is prepared. very good advice. tell us what we need to do should we find ourselves in an earthquake. when you feel earthquake shaking, drop down, take cover under a steady object and hold on until you feel it stop. if you're in california, go to the website for all of the updates and additional information and what to expect. thank you for being up so early for us. thank you for being up so early for us. thank you. an eloquent explanation for any time of day but even more eloquent for the time of mourning it is in washington, dc! the conserva

scientists say last week's quakes, and the aftershocks since, don't make ruptures along the san andreas any more or less likely.bu this is a good time to revisit the larger concerns and what people need to know. jacob margolis has laid this out extensively in a podcast called "the big one: your survival rtide." he is a science re with kpcc, southern california public radio. jacob margolis, thank you very much for being with us. so when we talk th the big one, am i right that we're not talking about if, we're heg talkout when. >> yeah, it is when. a 7.8 magnitude eathquake on the southern san andreas is one of the scenarios we could have in southern california. if that hits, it's going to be absolutely devastatin some of those buildings in the background you see there could potentiay be at risk of collapse. there's risk that fires will break out throughout all the hills, that we'll have close to 2000 fatalities and that of course is just a scenario. they are jut estimates. possibilities of what could happen. but it's not going took good would have would hav.>> woodrufs bigger than people

they're against the grain of the main san andreas fault system. the san andreas fault is running from northwest to southeast through the state like a big diagonal cut. and against it, perpendicular to it are this other set of faults in some places, and we call those crossfaults. what's typical is to have your bigger earthquakes on the faults that are oriented like the san andreas fault that are moving right laterally. what's less typical is a crossfault rupture that is left lateral. so when the 6.4 occur, that rupture was on a cross fault as well as a portion of the main fault, and now the 7.1 is on the main fault. we've seen that main shock is northwest of that intersection. so we know rupture went towards the northwest. it also went towards the southeast. our geologists have been out in the field this evening and confirmed fault surface rupture farther to the east on 178. so we know that that fault broke where we're seeing the aftershocks along it. tomorrow we're hoping to get this the air again to do reconnaissance and look for surface faulting

this did not happen along the great san andreas fault where we typically think of these big earthquakescalifornia taking place. this essentially was out in the desert. different story if this had happened in a highly populated area, just 150 miles away in los angeles, or even in the vicinity of bakersfield. we think of ridgecrest as being the epicenter. it wasn't. it was actually ten miles away on a naval air weapons facility, which is huge, but take a look at this. all of these orange dots, they represent

this is not associated with the san andreas fault. is san andreas fault is essentiy a huge plate tectonic. but we have different areas here intersecting. so we get that magnitude and the energy radiates out and in los angeles, they are saying with the july 4th earthquake that it felt like it was rumbling or shaking for about 30 seconds. well, the initial quake was only five seconds. but because it is bumping into these mountains and different densities of material through the ground, that is why it is shaking as it goes along until eventually it slows down. so it probably really did feel like 30 seconds. this particular main shock lasted between 20 and 25 seconds. that tells you just how much more powerful and we haven't seen an earthquake like this for 20 years. prior to that, over the previous 10 years, there were eight at 7 magnitude. but over 20 years did we see anything like this? no. the last one, the hector mine was nowhere. the northridge, that was a 6.7 magnitude, 1994, but that was in a highly populated area. here are all th

nothing to do with the san andreas.s will not trigger earthquakes along the san andreas, these are different faults. that out of the way. with a main quake of 7.1. above 6, you get one average, above 5, you get ten. and over 1,000 with 3.1s. and we're likely to see that with 6.4, 7.1, i'll leave you with this, something we haven't talked about. no fatalities, thankfully, a few injuries. $100 million to $1 billion. 33% that's the chase. the bill over $1 billion that's a 31% chance that we'll get to that. we probably will, of course, this factors in geography, the area, population and less important, obviously, than loss of life which we have not had thankfully. >> thankfully indeed. >> and those local officials at least expecting this to be a $1 billion disaster. thank you. >>> a naval air station near the epicenter of that earthquake is, quote, not mission capable until further notice. nonessential personnel have been ordered to evacuate the facility as a damage inspection is now carried out. >> authorities tell us that

folks have been asking is this the big quake, the san andreas? no, it's along western california. the area highlighted there. that separates the north american plate from the pacific plate. what does that mean? let's talk about that because this is not one of those things where the potential for the point we've had along ridgecrest would trigger the san andreas. they're completely separate. nothing to do with each other. let's put this into motion. the strike slip when the plates move side to side. the earth is always moving beneath us. it's molten down there. this is what you call a strike slip when the plates go in opposite directions and you get the initial rupture. problem is, it's not quite done. the aftershocks continue as things need to settle down. and they don't settle down for weeks and sometimes months. and over the next week, that's when we're talking about the potential again for something as significant as we've had the last several days. let's check in on the sdwrinten. the difference between the 7.1 is 11 sometimes stronger. we've had aftershocks over five. and rid

you're used to seeing stuff on the main san andreas fault, right? why are we seeing this here? >> so we live in a state that we've only seen the earthquake history of for just less than 300 years. and so we have a lot to learn about where earthquakes happen. we know there are a lot of faults that we haven't experienced earthquakes on. they haven't happened during our historical era. but that doesn't mean that they can't happen soon. for example, in cascadia, we know the last earthquake was in 1700, and there will be another soon of a similar size, a magnitude nine. and we've experienced the earthquake in 1857 and the 1906 earthquake, so we know the san andreas fault can produce big earthquakes. but there are a lot of faults out there that we're only discovering because there are earthquakes on them like this ridgecrest sequence. >> right. peggy helwig, thank you so much for your expertise and stopping by. and go, bears. appreciate your time. >> be prepared. >>> coming up, breaking political news after refusing to do it for a week -- for weeks, rather, an apology from joe biden

. >> reporter: the greenville fault is a subsidiary of the san andreas fault. >> the greenville fault, because it's limited in length, probably can host about a 6.9 or so at its largest event. >> reporter: the usgs says this afternoon's main quake and series of aftershocks don't look to be a swarm. there is a small chance slightly higher than 4%, that much like ridgecrest, today's quake is a shock of a more powerful event. >> general rule thumb is one in 20 cashman persist that is a larger event will follow. so the independence earthquake of ridgecrest, 6.4, retired supreme court justice of those cases. >> reporter: the window for a larger quake closes significantly within a week but it also includes all of the area faults around them and there are faults around the greenville fault that are active and have potential. >> tonight people all over the east bay tell us they felt the jolt. julie goodrich is live in dublin hills. >> reporter: if you live in this area you may have felt the jolt but sometimes your camera catches it. this camera caught the audio of a huge door like this making

country really is in southern california and some degree northern california where you have the san andreas fault and other faults, a large population, very large population, and then the potential for damage goes way up >> david, there's a long history of different kinds of earthquake event to draw on what does this experience remind you most of right now? >> well, you know, california is a big state. you can put a large earthquake into an area and get relatively low impacts because the population density in some areas is so low. what we're really concerned about is something further west and further north or south, in los angeles or san francisco where you would certainly up the ante in terms of losses. the losses from this are kind of expected given the low population, but we know that earthquakes are going to find population centers down the road >> when the first earthquake hit, i read a seismologist being quoted in a newspaper saying that we're due for one because one typically happens every five and ten years and this was the largest in 20 years. where else are we quote/unquote due f

well, the san andreas fault runs on major cities. 9, you think similar, right? they are not at all. you are talking about a 6.9 versus a 7.1, twice as strong. i know it's only like 0.2. but in terms of energy, seismic energy, twice as strong as 7.1 versus the 6.9. double the damage you had in san francisco. >> thank you, lonnie. >>> michelle obama is talking about painful political attacks from republicans and democrats when she was on her way to becoming first lady. ahead in an exclusive interview at the essence festival in new orleans over the weekend, how the criticism helped wshape who she became in the white house. >>> and how >>> a cloudy and foggy start today drizzle along the coast. as we head through the afternoon comedy daytime highs will be below average at this time of year. 79 in concord for a high. 79 in san jose. 66 in oakland. 66 and fear francisco. we are warming up heading to the week as high pressure building for us. above average temperatures by the end of the week 50 years since the apollo 11 mission to the moon.

fault, lot of fa like to think about all the earthquakes along the san andreas fault.s on a smaller fault of california. certainly able to some of these larger quakes in fact sometimes we don't even discover them until after they've actually had an earthquake this one i believe was on a little river fall, but they continue to see all that stress from those earthquakes being passed on to the other fault lines. so certainly that could trigger some earthquakes along those other faults as well. >>i'm looking at some video on twitter of a swimming pool, the splashing around in the video was shot in hanford so that's quite some distance from ridgecrest so gives you an idea of just how people were feeling this earthquake. the 6.9 we're hearing some 0.1 6.9 i believe it's been downgraded to a 6.9. but that's still a very big earthquake can we go back to that tweet that we just had up. >>from tional weather service. because it had some interesting information i like the word rolling earthquake felt here and they felt in their office at 8 20 this evening, a lasted a good 45 seco
