This was my pool too. Thanks for sharing your video. Wifey and I were getting scared from how long it lasted and just made sure we had the kids ready for anything!

Thanks.
Didn't really see anything specific there in terms of predictions. I Googled and found https://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-me-huge-earthquake-forecast-southern-california-20190705-story.html, which says:
The odds that Southern California will experience another earthquake of magnitude 7 or greater in the next week are now nearly 11%, according to preliminary estimates from seismologists.
And the chances that a quake will surpass the 7.1 temblor that struck near Ridgecrest on Friday night are roughly 8% to 9%, said Caltech seismologist Lucy Jones.
âThereâs about a 1 in 10 chance that we could have another 7 in this sequence,â she said.
More likely is that the Owens Valley will experience another temblor of magnitude 6 or greater. The odds of that are slightly greater than 50-50, Jones said. And more quakes of magnitude 5 or greater are a near certainty.
âIt would be extremely unusual if we didnât have another 5â over the coming week, Jones said.

Slightly off topic, but is it me or is that pool water level super high? Either way, beauty pool. I really like the shape of it.

u/angryano24 Jul 06 '19
Itâs about 6inches below the top, canât quite tell because of, well you know, the 7.1 earthquake. Lol kidding kidding.

u/huffer4 Jul 06 '19
lol fair point. So crazy to see it move that much. I'm in Toronto and have never felt the power of an earthquake. I can't imagine the sensation of the earth moving like that

Iâm just South of HB. The one yesterday I didnât even feel. I was walking around the house and didnât have my glasses on so I didnât have a stable reference point. My girlfriend was in the bed and was really surprised I couldnât feel it. I didnât even believe her when she was insisting an earthquake just happened.
I definitely felt the one that just happened. I was upstairs in the house again. I felt a super strange sensation of low grade motion sickness/nausea that persisted several minutes after.
Itâs kind of weird when you donât have a reference point like the pool of water since the whole earth is shaking. I donât really have many loose objects around the house...If my blinds werenât rattling I would have thought I was just having a dizzy spell.

u/verymerry19 Jul 06 '19
I totally agree with first thinking itâs a dizzy spell. I didnât feel the one on the 4th either, but last night my whole apartment was in upheaval. At first I thought I was about to faint (it happens semi-frequently due to health problems), but then I realised it wasnât my brain making things move, it was everything else moving around me! Itâs a totally surreal feeling until you realise whatâs happening, no matter how many times youâve experienced it before.

Interesting. I saw a clip from the Dodgers game today and the camera was shaking so much it couldn't keep players in the frame, but the players played on like they didn't even notice. I wonder if it's kind of a similar situation.

Every time a big quake, I get motion sickness quickly especially when I am looking at my computer screens. It happened at work, home, etc. :(

u/PureBerserk Jul 06 '19
Technically speaking couldn't this have been the big one everyone was talking about? Apparently they predict it to be around 7.8 and this one was around that magnitude and in CA. So could this technically be the big one? If not someone explain.

I always thought the "big one" is supposed to be on the Cascadia subduction zone?

I felt this last night in Vegas. I was waking up to go to work and my bed was shaking. I was like, huh, thatâs weird. I sat up to see if my dog had jumped on my bed and was breathing hard or something. After seeing she wasnât there, I realized it was an earthquake.

u/BlackSER Jul 06 '19
LoL! At the 30 sec mark. He's worried about not getting wet and not worried about being electrocuted by that cord on the floor.

If your referring to the San Andreas fault, scientists are saying that the fault has nothing to do with the fault.

u/Dilong-paradoxus Jul 06 '19
The L shape pattern is because of two faults that meet in the area. And on the USGS website negative numbers mean above ground, so I would wait for a more accurate depth estimate on that.
You should always assume a major earthquake is possible if you live in an area where that is possible. This earthquake is too far from the San Andreas to be directly related, and it's impossible to tell whether or not it increases or decreases the likelihood of a San Andreas earthquake because earthquakes are complicated and the faulting in the Southwest is extremely complicated. However, the Southwest is an area where two plates slide past each other and stress is always building up, so you should always be prepared regardless of recent earthquakes.
There will definitely be more aftershocks, that's basically guaranteed. Bigger earthquakes in the area of the original earthquake are possible but less likely.
