Read More »Saturday, July 6th 2019, 1:44 pm - Seismologists say the tremor is part of an 'earthquake sequence,' and more quakes are likely. California was rocked by a new, more powerful earthquake Friday night, with numerous reports of fires, gas leaks and injuries in the tremor's immediate aftermath. The earthquake, rated Magnitude 7.1 by the U.S. Geological Survey, struck around 8:19 p.m. local time, at a relatively shallow depth of 17 km, making it more likely to be felt on the surface compared to deeper earthquakes. Despite its location in the state's interior, near the town of Ridgecrest, it was felt relatively widely across the region, with shaking reported in Los Angeles, some 200 km away. The worst damage was reported in the communities around the quake's epicentre, with several structure fires due to gas leaks reported in Ridgecrest itself, according to CNN. Though several people have been injured, there are no reported fatalities as yet. In San Bernadino County, cracked foundations have been reported, with some retaining wall collapses. One town, Trona, is without power or water. In Los Angeles, no major damage was reported, and only shaking was experienced, though the Los Angeles County Fire Department reported some power lines down. California Governor Gavin Newsom declared a state of emergency in Kern County, where Ridgecrest is located, not long after Thursday's quake, and made a similar declaration for San Bernadino County after Friday night's quake. WATCH BELOW: EARTHQUAKE STRIKES DURING LIVE NEWSCAST, ANCHORS AREN'T SURE WHAT TO DO This is the second major quake to strike the state in recent days. A Magnitude 6.4 tremor on Thursday morning, also not far from Ridgecrest, caused widespread shaking and some damage. That quake was the most powerful to hit the state since 1994. The latest tremor seems to have gone one better, being the strongest since 1992. Numerous aftershocks have been reported, and USGS seismologist Dr. Lucy Jones said the recent quakes were part of an 'earthquake sequence' that would likely continue. "Every earthquake makes another earthquake more likely," Jones told a press conference (as reported by the BBC), adding that there was a 10 per cent chance of another similar or stronger quake striking in the coming week.

Read More »The National Earthquake Information Center now locates about 20,000 earthquakes around the globe each year, or approximately 55 per day.
A temporary increase or decrease in seismicity is part of the normal fluctuation of earthquake rates. Neither an increase nor decrease worldwide is a positive indication that a large earthquake is imminent. The ComCat earthquake catalog contains an increasing number of earthquakes in recent years--not because there are more earthquakes, but because there are more seismic instruments and they are able to record more earthquakes. The National Earthquake Information Center now locates about 20,000 earthquakes around the globe each year, or approximately 55 per day. As a result of the improvements in communications and the increased interest in natural disasters, the public now learns about earthquakes more quickly than ever before. According to long-term records (since about 1900), we expect about 16 major earthquakes in any given year. That includes 15 earthquakes in the magnitude 7 range and one earthquake magnitude 8.0 or greater. In the past 40-50 years, our records show that we have exceeded the long-term average number of major earthquakes about a dozen times. The year with the largest total was 2010, with 23 major earthquakes (greater than or equal to magnitude 7.0). In other years the total was well below the annual long-term average of 16 major earthquakes. 1989 only had 6 major earthquakes and 1988 only had 7.
