Strongest Earthquake in 20 Years Rattles Southern California

The magnitude-6.4 Independence Day quake was centered in the Ridgecrest area north of Los Angeles

7.1 Magnitude Earthquake Rocks Southern California

Just a day after a July 4 jolt, Southern California is rocked again by an even stronger earthquake

A day after a powerful quake rattled Southern California, residents across the region were shaken by a 7.1 temblor that rattled for up to 40 seconds, knocked out power and frayed already thin nerves.

Well, It turns out the sun based climate people were also right about earthquakes being triggered by the same scientific phenomenon as the changes in the jet stream and the increase in COOLING clouds which are caused by a lack of solar radiation shielding us from ( cooling cloud causing ) COSMIC radiation.

I think we are going to see more of this close to home in the near future severing things like power lines, phone/ computer lines, road ways, and water systems.

California could be hit by a BIGGER quake within days:

Experts warn of powerful aftershocks as it's revealed LA's new earthquake warning app failed to send out an alert despite largest tremor for 20 years

Geologists say the 6.4-magnitude quake will produce an aftershock which could be even more powerful

The new ShakeAlert app in Los Angeles detected the quake but did not send out a public notification

The quake caused fires, cracked roads and broke power lines in California, but caused no serious injuries

It was the most powerful earthquake in Southern California since a 7.1-force quake in October 1999

Oh yeah, that CO2.

Well Yorgie, there are other places to look for virgins other than the illegal immigrant invasion you know.

A virgin is a virgin.

An earthquake's impact can be predicted - but only after it hits

July 6 (Reuters) - Over the next week, Southern California has only a 27% chance of experiencing a third earthquake greater than magnitude 6, but a 96% chance of going through a tremor of magnitude 5 or higher.

Those precise probabilities were generated by scientists at the United States Geological Survey (USGS), using models based on longstanding principles of seismic behavior and decades of data on aftershocks from earthquakes.

But the same predictive power does not extend to forecasting when and where earthquakes will strike in the first place, experts acknowledge.

"Even if it's a theoretical possibility, it may be a practical impossibility," said Andrew Michael, a California-based geophysicist at the USGS.

A powerful 7.1 magnitude quake shook the remote town of Ridgecrest in the Mojave Desert on Friday evening, a day and a half after a 6.4 magnitude temblor was recorded in the same region.

On average, a quake is followed by an even stronger tremor only about 5% of the time, though it happens more frequently in areas with significant geothermal activity, like the Mojave, according to Michael.

The USGS first began offering public aftershock forecasts in the 1980s, Michael said.
