the usgs says the magnitude 7.1 earthquake shook a mountainous region in western china near nepal. this footage we're about to show you from a chinese news station shows homes and buildings crumbled to the ground. as of right now, at least 53 people have been killed nearly 40 others have been hurt, rescue and recovery efforts are ongoing at this hour. and of course, we know effort there is going to be from happening for a while. yeah, for sure. let's check in now with our chief meteorologist lawrence karnow. for more on this story talk about some remote locations, right? so they're out really. >> in the far reaches of that area. and that area also known for some very large earthquakes. this one a 7.1. you can see nepal here, china up here to the north between here. we've got what's called a subduction zone. you've got the indian plate coming underneath the eurasian plate. what happens as it dives underneath that plate? it often will cause these large earthquakes in that area. here we go. we've had that 7.1 and numerous aftershocks after that as well. that one coming at a depth of 6

joining me live now on the phone is robert de groot with usgs.ert, thank you so much for joining us this morning. good morning. so first off, walk us through the epicenter of this quake. just how far did this impact co? >> yet, though the earthquake about about a mile out of concord covid sick leave full in the east bay probably felt it though, both the sparse oakland and maybe it's ari antioch. and felt shaking these earthquakes generally generate shaking that that's pretty love. many people took the concord, maybe felt something equivalent a heavy truck passing by the house. that kind of vibration. but but regardless, you know, when the ground shake people, people, you know, take take attention to that. they're they're concerned and we want to make sure everyone thinks. >> ok, right? thankou, robert. now we just experienced a small 3.6 magnitude earthquake yesterday, as i'm sure, you know, would y say that these 2 incidents are connected in any way? >> well, there are 3 faults that run through the bay area and the earthquake bam resisted you ye

she believes it was the return of native sea otters documented by usgs surveys. >> given that the population size is about 120, they can probably eat somewhere between 50 and 120,000 green crabs at the slough per year, and i mean 100 100,000 green crabs consumed by otters. that's a lot. >> jepson and her colleagues began mapping the slough, pinpointing the location of otter populations versus green crabs. research coordinator kirstine watson says the modeling seems to confirm the trend. more otters, fewer crabs. >> so we use circumstantial evidence about spatial patterns, like within elkhorn slough. the areas that have a lot of otters don't have a lot of green crabs, and the green crabs are nothing if not invasive, spreading rapidly. >> since being accidentally introduced into san francisco bay in the late 1980s, and coastal communities from california to washington state are spending millions in time and money to control the crabs, which compete with native sea creatures. could the otter be a help? >> i think there's a lot of promise that sea otter reintroduction to these areas would decrea

the usgs says the magnitude 3.7 quake hit just after 7:00 this morning.ntered two and a half miles off the coast. we've been getting lots of calls into the ktvu newsroom from people who felt that earthquake. now, if you have any video of the quake, just send it to our newsroom. you can email it to news tips@fox.com. >> and as you'd expect with an earthquake of that size and its location, no major damage or injuries, but still something to talk about. of course. this morning. let's get out the door here thanks to the weather forecast, steve paulson. of course, we're all keeping an eye, frankly, concerned about winds. oh, there's a microphone button on your end or ours. okay, let's see if sal castaneda is standing by in the traffic center. this friday morning. commute, thankfully, has been somewhat friday light, right? >> yes, it has gasia in some areas and other areas, not so much. and the other areas are because there have been wrecks or stalled vehicles. southbound 680, some slow traffic there. as you drive from pleasant hill all the way down to the scen

according to the usgs, a 3.7 magnitude earthquake hit concord at 849.he epicenter was near theowntownreports of any damage in the area of downtown concord. bart did conduct safety track inspections after the quake, causing some delays. police in san jose are now investigating a shooting that left one man dead. police say officers responded to loma verde drive and eden avenue around 10:00 last night, and found a man with gunshot wounds. he was transported to the hospital, where he was later pronounced dead. police have not released the name and age of the victim, or what may have led up to those shots being fired. >> bart police are investigating a fatal accident on the tracks in downtown san francisco. it happened shortly after 9:00 last night between the civic center and powell stations. investigators say a train struck and killed a man who had wandered onto the tracks. the deadly accident in san francisco caused system wide delays for several hours last night. >> tonight, an investigation is underway in oakland after two people were hurt in an early morning shooting. police say it h

for china competition i think this effort underway with china house and they also thing the larger usg constellation of agencies is not quite suited to the economic statecraft challenge we have as well. we have time for one question if everyone can give 10 second answers. and then we will close out so if there's a final question in the room now is the time. i see with that caveat. >> i have one shameless cfr plug. bringing up one of the places of great competition is the arctic which it is. there's another one that the place of great power and competition and that is space. and cfr under the able hands of mr. as a project director is a task force coming out where we delve into this issue coming out of the next month. so much to be done there. >> the space task force has done fantastic work. we are basically at time now so i'm sorry about that. i will end by saying this discussion shows the regional development that we've had serious conversations about multiple in the world in the context of the report on china and russia this is what we endeavor to do. thank you for joining us today.

the usgs originally said it was a magnitude 3.7, but later dialed that back to a 3.5. no reports of any injuries or damage. please, god. please, god save us. save our house. terrifying moments caught on camera. a couple forced to leave their home as it eaton fire erupted. luckily, the couple escaped with their two dogs unharmed. nbc's dana williams is in southern california and spoke to them about their close call. hey, babe, i need you to come out here right now. we have a very big problem. i've seen the fires spread so fast, and i knew that with how close that fire was to us, that we would literally have minutes to get out safely. cheryl and jeffrey khoi have lived in altadena for 20 years. she says she was on her way home from work on the 210 freeway when she looked in the distance and saw an orange glow. as she got closer, she knew it was time for them to pack up and leave. oh, no. minutes later, at 6:25 p.m, the fire grew. oh my god. then 6:28 p.m, the power lines were completely engulfed in smoke and in flames. a nightmare horror movie. you just don't ever want t

the usgs puts the magnitude at 3.6. no reports of injuries or damage.several aftershocks did follow. three in total, all in the magnitude two range. the quakes were all too small to trigger an alert on the myshake app, and also too small for a tsunami warning. >> one of the first actions by san francisco's new mayor is to name a new fire chief. next, see how others in the fire department are reacting. >> and still to come, at 630, the underground secrets of san francisco. what lies beneath those circles on the pavement that could one day save (banker 1) let's hear it!

(banker 1) yeah! let's get started. (vo) ready to meet the dream team? you can with wells fargo. the flare up is on the north edge of the fire. our sister station in los angeles reports

so i spoke with robert degroot of the usgs earthquake science center, who says a few memorable quakes in a row isn't necessarily a sign of things to come. >> this is just what's happening on a normal basis, but yet not to be ignored. people shouldot know how to protect themselves. we live in earthquake country and these events are part of living in california. we have on the order of 50 earthquakes a day. >> yeah, i didn't know that. degroot says the earthquakes do serve as a reminder to have your preparedness kit ready, and to sign up for the shakealert earthquake early warning system. it was the first full weekend for crab sales right off the boat in san francisco. crabbers at fisherman's wharf say the catch isn't big in quantity, but it is excellent in quality. each crab averages about 2 pounds. they're selling for $12 a pound. usually crabbing season starts in the middle of november, but it didn't open until last sunday. in order to protect migrating whales. about that. yeah. getting back to that earthquake story, though, i really didn't know 50 a day. they just happened to be so

earlier today, the usgs reported a magnitude 3.7 earthquake that hit at about 7:00 this morning.hat was followed by a 3.0 quake just before 11 in the morning. both of those quakes hit three miles northwest of the san francisco zoo. no damage or injuries have been reported, but certainly a lot of people felt the shaking. >> i was in bed at home, and i felt like two seconds of shaking, and it felt like the whole place was shaking. >> i was also already awake and like christina said, i actually messaged her and a couple other friends. we had all felt it. as someone who just moved here, it was. it was my first earthquake, so it was definitely a little bit like, i don't know, scary. >> reports of shaking came from as far away as contra costa and sonoma counties. >> well, he's been in office now barely two days, and san francisco's mayor, daniel lurie, has named his new fire chief. that is battalion chief dean crispin. ktvu. christien kafton joins us live in the city with more on a man that knows the city very well. christian. >> yeah, absolutely. you said it, frank. dean crispin has b
