California earthquake felt in Los Angeles and Las Vegas

The strongest earthquake to hit Southern California in 20 years left scattered damage Thursday morning and was felt from Las Vegas to Orange County, the US Geological Survey reported.

The quake, with an early magnitude of 6.4, was centered near Ridgecrest, a community west of the Mojave Desert and about 150 miles north of Los Angeles
Ridgecrest Mayor Peggy Breeden said the city has had seventh or eight aftershocks, including “a really good one” as she spoke with CNN shortly before 3 p.m. ET.
“As I understand, we have five fires,” she said. “We have broken gas lines.”
Footage from the scene showed firefighters hosing down flames rising from homes.
Firefighters battle a house fire in Ridgecrest, California.
April Rodriguez was at home in Trona when she felt a smaller quake followed by a larger one “that didn’t stop,” she told CNN.
“We were panicked trying to get out of the house because everything is falling out of the cabinets, off the shelves, off the walls. … They were flying like missiles off the shelves.”
At least four large aftershocks and dozens of smaller ones were recorded, officials said.
Lucy Jones of the USGS called it a “robust” series and said there is a 50% chance of another large quake in the next week.
In central Los Angeles, the main temblor was felt as a long, rolling quake, and buildings rocked back and forth for at least several seconds.
The National Weather Service tweeted that the earthquake was also felt in Las Vegas.
It was the largest quake to hit the area since 1999, when a 7.1 earthquake struck in a remote part of the Mojave desert, Jones said.
Jones told reporters, “The earthquake was near China Lake and Ridgecrest. It’s is sparsely inhabited area, so the number of people who would have received damage is much lower.”
In 1994, at least 57 people died in the 6.7 Northridge quake in Los Angeles, which caused $25 billion in damage.
She said there is a 1 in 20 chance that a bigger earthquake will hit within the next few days. “It’s certain that this area is going to be shaking a lot today and some of those aftershocks will probably exceed magnitude 5.”
Jones said the quake was preceded by magnitude 4.2 temblor about 30 minutes before, which she called a foreshock.
Hospital being evacuated
In Kern County, at the epicenter, the Fire Department responded to more than 20 incidents relating to the earthquake and aftershocks, including fires and medical emergencies, according to a tweet on its verified account.
Kern County Fire also tweeted that Ridgecrest Regional Hospital was being evacuated.
Trona, an unincorporated community, “sustained varying degrees of damage” but no injuries have been reported, according to San Bernardino County Fire’s verified Twitter account.
The department reported “minor cracks (in buildings); broken water mains; power lines down; rock slides on certain roads” in northwestern communities in the county.
Dorothea Smith said boulders fell down hillsides, shattering the asphalt and blocking mountain roads.
“There is no going in or out of Trona right now. We’re like stuck.”
Highway 178 has a 4-inch crack, said San Bernardino County Fire spokesman Jeremy Kern. All highways in San Bernardino County remain open. The area’s high tension power lines are all intact.
A crack in the road is seen near Ridgecrest, California after Thursday’s quake.
Diane Ruggiero, general manager of the Hampton Inn and Suites Ridgecrest in Ridgecrest, told CNN’s Paul Vercammen that the hotel sustained significant damage.
“The chandeliers are still swinging,” she said five minutes after the quake hit at 10:33 a.m. PT. “The floor rippled.”
A woman on Twitter shared video from “My dads liquor store in Ridgecrest (11 miles from the earthquake)
Filmmaker Ava DuVernay tweeted, “Been living in Los Angeles all my life. That was the longest earthquake I’ve ever experienced. Not jerky. Smooth and rolling. But it was loooong. It was so long I thought for the first time ever “Is this the big one?” Damn. Respect Mother Nature. She’s the boss.
In Lancaster, one Twitter user reported people fleeing a movie theater.
“Felt like we were on a turntable,” user Rudio87 wrote.
Los Angeles International Airport said no damage was reported on runways. “Operations remain normal,” it tweeted.
“We have no reports of damage to any FAA facilities or operational effects from the quake at this time,” FAA spokesman Ian Gregor said.
A tsunami is not expected, according to the National Tsunami Warning Center.

On Thursday, July 4 a magnitude 6.4 earthquake struck in southern California at 10.34 local time (4.34pm BST), with strong to very strong shaking felt in Ridgecrest. Shaking was felt by millions of people according to the United States Geological Survey (USGS), with areas including Los Angeles and Las Vegas reporting to feel the quake. Following the earthquake, multiple aftershocks have been felt – with 50 to 700 recorded as magnitude three or higher according to the USGS. On July 4, a magnitude 4.5 earthquake also struck 280 miles (450km) from Unalaska and has been followed by further smaller quakes. Today alone, (July 5) 13 quakes ranging from magnitude 1.1 to magnitude 3.6 have shaken Alaska. Now the threat level for volcanoes has been upgraded following the increased seismicity. According to the Alaska Volcano Observatory (AVO) and USGS: “Due to an increase in seismicity above background levels over at least the last eight hours AVO is raising the Aviation Colour Code to YELLOW and Alert Level to ADVISORY at Semisopochnoi. Read More: Earthquake today: Katla, Etna, Kilauea and Mount St Helens rumble  “No explosive activity has been detected on the Adak infrasound array and clouds currently obscure satellite views of the volcano. “AVO will continue to monitor the volcano using satellite, infrasound and seismic data.” On July 4, a magnitude 4.5 earthquake struck 450km from Unalaska, and has been followed by further smaller quakes. Semisopochnoi is an island which is part of the Rat Islands group, in the western Aleutian Islands of Alaska.  The island is uninhabited, and is an important area for maritime birds, with many breeds choosing to nest there. Alaska is no stranger to earthquakes, as several tectonic features in the area can produce high magnitude quakes. According to the Alaska Earthquake Centre, the Aleutian megathrust is the source of the strongest earthquakes in the region, such as the 1938 M8.3 earthquake southwest of Kodiak Island. These earthquakes are capable of producing damaging tsunamis, as was documented in historical records of Russian settlers and in recently discovered paleo-tsunami deposits.  Both Alaska and California are located on the explosive Ring of Fire, a horseshoe-shaped area spanning 40,000 km around the basin of the Pacific Ocean. Within the Ring of Fire, there are oceanic trenches, volcanic arcs, volcanic belts and plate movements almost continuously. About 90 percent of the world’s earthquakes and 81 percent of the world’s largest earthquakes occur along the Ring of Fire. In terms of volcanoes, all but three of the world’s 25 largest volcanic eruptions of the last 11,700 years occurred at volcanoes in the Ring of Fire. read more

Magnitude 5.4 aftershock hits California a day after the biggest earthquake in 20 years rattled thousands – and an even LARGER quake could be on its way
A 5.4-magnitude aftershock hit Southern California at 4.07am on Friday
It comes one day after a 6.4-magnitude earthquake, the most powerful in 20 years, hit the state
The quake caused fires, cracked roads and broke power lines, but caused no serious injuries
US Geological Survey said the earthquake started 11 miles from Ridgecrest, California, and was felt from Las Vegas to San Diego
About 220 aftershocks were felt but this is the largest one yet read more

The record for the largest earthquake to hit southern California in more than two decades only lasted a little more than 24 hours.  Ridgecrest, California and surrounding areas were hit by a 6.4 magnitude earthquake July 4, and they were hit again by an even more severe earthquake July 5. Some seismic measures recorded the earthquake at 6.9, while others reported it was 7.1. The area was also hit by a series of smaller aftershocks. The quakes could be felt as far away as Los Angeles and Ridgecrest.  After the series of earthquakes, one thing was clear on social media: Californians were tired of the quakes.  Twitter also had a lot to say about the Clippers signing Kawhi Leonard and trading for Paul George the same night as an earthquake hit the NBA.  Here’s what you need to know: Californians Are Getting Pummeled By Quakes And Reacting With Memes  The memes flooded social media nearly as soon as the earthquake hit at about 9 p.m. July 5. One person wrote on Twitter, “God after all of us rush on twitter to make a joke about the earthquake”    Another person shared a video of Will Smith reacting to an earthquake on Fresh Prince of Bel Air, hugging a teddy bear under a table.    Another person shared a gif about mixed feelings when it comes to natural disasters.    Another person shared a viral video of a reporter that circulated the Internet several years ago. She wrote, “Me: not being able to relate to all the locals complaining about the earthquakes bc I’m out of the state rn Also me: 5 seconds after leaving California”  (This video contains profanity).    Another person wrote, “After seeing all the memes after the California earthquake this is probably correct. #EarthquakeLA”    Of course, Twitter needed a dancing dog meme for the earthquake.    And what meme list is complete without a Michael Scott gif? Twitter Reacts To Clippers Signing Kawhi  The Clippers signed Kawhi Leonard the same night as an earthquake hit the NBA. Twitter had a lot to say about it.  Meme Central wrote, “No One:  “Kawhi and Paul George to the Clippers EVEN after all these earthquakes:”    Milik wrote, “No one: California: EARTHQUAKE Kawhi & Woj: 2 AM”    Another person wrote, “The entire NBA media just felt two earthquakes in the span of four hours.”    Another person commented on the irony of the earthquake and its impact on the game.  “I’m not saying that this PG and Kawhi to the Clippers news caused that earthquake in LA, but I’m not NOT saying that either. Also, Jerry West has to be one of the best front office executives in NBA history in additon to being a legend on the court, salute that man.”    Another person wrote, “How Clippers fans are going to sleep tonight after surviving an earthquake and learning they’ve signed both Kawhi and Paul George.”    Others also tweeted about the trade in memes. One person wrote, “That wasn’t an #Earthquake… it was the feeling of #Kawhi going to the #Clippers” read more

Authorities say a magnitude 7.1 earthquake that jolted California has caused injuries, sparked fires, shut roads and shaken ball games and theme parks.

LOS ANGELES — Communities in the Mojave Desert tallied damage and made emergency repairs to cracked roads and broken pipes Friday as aftershocks from Southern California’s largest earthquake in 20 years kept rumbling. The small town of Ridgecrest, close to the epicenter, assessed damage after several fires and multiple injuries that were blamed on the magnitude 6.4 quake. A shelter drew 28 people overnight, but not all of them slept inside amid the shaking. “Some people slept outside in tents because they were so nervous,” said Marium Mohiuddin of the American Red Cross. Damage appeared limited to desert areas, although the quake was felt widely, including in the Los Angeles region 150 miles (240 kilometers) away. The largest aftershock thus far — magnitude 5.4 — was also felt in LA before dawn Friday. Ridgecrest Regional Hospital remained closed as state inspectors assessed it, spokeswoman Jayde Glenn said. The hospital’s own review found no structural damage, but there were cracks in walls, broken water pipes and water damage. The hospital was prepared to help women in labor and to give triage care to emergency patients, Fifteen patients were evacuated to other hospitals after the quake, Glenn said. The quake did not appear to have caused major damage to roads and bridges in the area, but it did open three cracks across a short stretch of State Route 178 near the tiny town of Trona, said California Department of Transportation District Nine spokeswoman Christine Knadler. Those cracks were temporarily sealed, but engineers were investigating whether the two-lane highway was damaged beneath the cracks, Knadler said. Bridges in the area were also being checked. The Ridgecrest library was closed as volunteers and staff picked up hundreds of books that fell off shelves. The building’s cinderblock walls also had some cracks, said Charissa Wagner, library branch supervisor. Wagner was at her home in the small city of 29,000 people when a small foreshock hit, followed by the large one, putting her and her 11-year-old daughter on edge. “The little one was like, ‘Oh what just happened.’ The big one came later and that was scarier,” she said. The nearby Naval Air Weapons Station China Lake said in a statement late Thursday that no injuries were reported and so far all buildings had been found to be intact, but assessments continued across its vast acreage. Its workforce was ordered to not report on Friday. The earthquake knocked over a boulder that sat atop one of the rock spires at the Trona Pinnacles outside of Ridgecrest, a collection of towering rock formations that has been featured in commercials and films, said Martha Maciel, a Bureau of Land Management spokeswoman in California. Meanwhile, the nation’s second-largest city revealed plans to lower slightly the threshold for public alerts from its earthquake early warning app. But officials said the change was in the works before the quake, which gave scientists at the California Institute of Technology’s seismology lab 48 seconds of warning but did not trigger a public notification. “Our goal is to alert people who might experience potentially damaging shaking, not just feel the shaking,” said Robert de Groot, a spokesman for the U.S. Geological Survey’s ShakeAlert system, which is being developed for California, Oregon and Washington. The West Coast ShakeAlert system has provided non-public earthquake notifications on a daily basis to many test users, including emergency agencies, industries, transportation systems and schools. Late last year, the city of Los Angeles released a mobile app intended to provide ShakeAlert warnings for users within Los Angeles County. The trigger threshold for LA’s app required a magnitude 5 or greater and an estimate of level 4 on the separate Modified Mercali Intensity scale, the level at which there is potentially damaging shaking. Although Thursday’s quake was well above magnitude 5, the expected shaking for the Los Angeles area was level 3, de Groot said. A revision of the magnitude threshold down to 4.5 was already underway, but the shaking intensity level would remain at 4. The rationale is to avoid numerous ShakeAlerts for small earthquakes that do not affect people.
Construction of a network of seismic-monitoring stations for the West Coast is just over half complete, with most coverage in Southern California, San Francisco Bay Area and the Seattle-Tacoma area. Eventually, the system will send out alerts over the same system used for Amber Alerts to defined areas that are expected to be affected by a quake, de Groot said. California is partnering with the federal government to build the statewide earthquake warning system, with the goal of turning it on by June 2021. The state has already spent at least $25 million building it, including installing hundreds of seismic stations throughout the state. This year, Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom said the state needed $16.3…
