Just wondering - did these seismologists give the odds the second earthquake (this current one) would happen after the first one occurred?
Yes, they always say one in twenty for a larger quake. This time their estimation (not really a prediction) was a little higher due to the unusual number of aftershocks.
The aftershocks continue today. I’m 80 miles from Ridgecrest in my lazy boy recliner and am still feeling gentle wave action almost constantly.
Yes. It was the same 1:20 that there would be one larger than the first. And it was.
