I had contact with Joanie shortly after this big quake, and then they had a 6.4 following it.Pretty unsettling for them.

On Israeli News Live I think I heard it was a 7.1 over there but that was perhaps a slighty different measurement of the same one you´re talking about I guess.
Since earthquakes are basically not a thing in my neck of the woods (seismic activity at the Rhine Graben was nothing spectacular since the destruction of Basel in 1356) I can’t really relate to those numbers but around the number seven it´s apparently becoming a big deal?
When L.A. Marzulli recently lost his home in the great fires and subsequently was forced to resettle in the interior part of the country I was already wondering if God just wants him away from the coast before He´s sending California to the bottom of the ocean as a couple of prophecies suggest.

REVEALED: Powerful 7.1 magnitude earthquake that sparked huge fires and caused multiple injuries in Southern California was 11 TIMES stronger than 6.4 tremor 32 hours earlier

The 7.1 magnitude earthquake that sparked huge fires and caused multiple injuries in Southern California on Friday evening was 11 times stronger than the 6.4 tremor in the same region just 32 hours earlier, geologists say.

Shockwaves from Friday’s quake were felt in Las Vegas and downtown Los Angeles as a rolling motion that seemed to last at least a half-minute.

Dr Lucy Jones, a seismologist for the California Institute of Technology (CalTech), said it was the most powerful to hit Southern California since another 7.1 temblor in the same area in 1999.

Jones also warned there is about a one-in-10 chance that another 7.0 quake could hit within the next week, and the the chance of a 5.0-magnitude quake ‘is approaching certainty’.

There have already been more than 1,700 aftershocks recorded since Thursday’s quake, which is being considered a ‘foreshock’ to Friday’s ‘mainshock’.

Compared to the first shock, the second was 11 times stronger, five times bigger and lasted longer.

The strength of the earthquake is the most important measure, referring to the amount of energy released and thus the amount of damage. Friday’s quake released 11 times the amount of energy of Thursday’s, while it measured five times larger on the seismograph.

‘It is really the energy or strength that knocks down buildings,’ according to the US Geological Survey (USGS).

Aftershocks from the mainshock could occur for years, Jones said. Seismologists have predicted that there is an 11 percent chance of a magnitude 7 or greater temblor hitting Southern California in the next week, with an eight to nine percent chance that it will be higher than Friday’s.
