7.1-magnitude earthquake strikes Ridgecrest, shakes San Diego There is a “high probability” of a magnitude 5 or greater aftershock to tonight’s 7.1 magnitude earthquake in Ridgecrest in the next week, according to seismologist Lucy Jones. There is a 50% chance of a magnitude 6 or greater quake and about a 10% chance of a magnitude 7 or greater temblor in the next week, said USGS seismologist Lucy Jones. SAN DIEGO (KGTV) – A strong 7.1 magnitude earthquake shook Ridgecrest Friday night, a day after a 6.4 quake rattled the same area of Southern California. Friday’s tremor happened at 8:19 p.m. and was centered 11 miles outside the high desert town. It was felt throughout southern California and as far east as Las Vegas. The quake was described as a rolling motion that seemed to last at least a half-minute. No deaths are reported as a result of the violent earthquake, according to Kern County Fire Department Chief David Witt. A total of 1,800 Pacific Gas and Electric customers are without power in Kern County, but no gas leaks are reported, Witt said. “Intel is still being gathered. Responding to calls for service and ordering additional resources. Kern County is activating the Emergency Operations Center. Please stay safe and call 911 in case of emergency. Please leave phone lines open whenever possible,” the Kern County Fire Department tweeted. According to ABC 7 News in Los Angeles, fire officials in Kern County initially reported “multiple injuries and multiple fires” without providing details.” [More]

Dozens of aftershocks have been reported following Friday evening’s 7.1-magnitude earthquake that hit near Ridgecrest, just one day after a 6.4 magnitude quake rocked the area.

At least three Ridgecrest homes appeared to have been completely destroyed in the quake.

The 7.1 magnitude earthquake hit Friday night about 11 miles from Ridgecrest, the town in Kern County which was very close to the epicenter of the magnitude 6.4 quake felt on Thursday. Emergency officials and local residents in Ridgecrest are now left cleaning up the damage from both temblors (bottom right left and right) The quake, which sparked fires, cracked buildings and interrupted sports games, was felt hundreds of miles away in Las Vegas and downtown Los Angeles as a rolling motion that seemed to last at least a half-minute. Two news anchors for the local CBS affiliate in Los Angeles – Juan Fernandez and Sara Donchey – were filmed live on the air as the earthquake hit, sending them into a panic (top main). Friday’s quake was the most powerful to hit Southern California since another 7.1 temblor in the same area in 1999. There have already been more than 1,700 aftershocks (mapped in the top inset) recorded in the wake of Thursday’s quake, and aftershocks from the new main quake could occur for years, seismologists have warned.
