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.

And everybody I ever worked with from Cal Tech, thought they were the smartest person in the room. They were not. Lol. Highly overrated.
I don’t know where they get their numbers from, it’s easily at least 14.3%
Okay, I’ll bite. Where do you get your numbers from?
Lucy is getting her 15 minutes. She seems to be enjoying it. I wish my geology prof had her manner. It would have made it easier.
It’s statistics. They know what past series have done, so they use that to make an assessment of the future.
Yes. It was the same 1:20 that there would be one larger than the first. And it was.
Some saying the aftershocks are coming every 30 secs to 1 minute? Wow, if true.
I was away on vacation (no TV, cell, none) and didn’t even know there had been an earthquake in CA. Got home and checked in with .... Dutchsinse:) (right after FR) as soon as I heard about it Any way his data comes from USGS and other providers. He showed the mapped area of these quakes as 65 miles by 60 miles. He’s predicting another big one in this location.
His comment that the acivity is also 60 miles deep struck me as odd since none of the temblots have been anhwbere close to that deep
