to yesterday's powerful earthquake in southern california. biggers aftershocks are keeping people on alert following the region's strongest shaking in nearly 20 years. yesterday's magnitude 6.4 quake struck in the mojave desert. about 150 miles northeast of los angeles. since then at least 1200 aftershocks have been recorded. the strongest, a magnitude 5.4 aftershock struck at 4:00 this morning. seismologists say there is a chance more powerful aftershocks could strike in the coming days. nicole comstock has the very latest from ridgecrest. >> reporter: there is broken glass all over the floor inside this mobile home in ridgecrest. the surgeon total of 20 years is now red tagged, and unsafe to live in after a 6.4 magnitude earthquake. >> how could this have happened, we never dreamed it would happen. >> reporter: this is among the worst of the damage caused by the violent shaking caught on camera inside multiple businesses. the worst quake socal has seen in decades. >> they are letting us get our stuff out. >> reporter: unfortunately they cannot put this place back together. but some

. and the california highway patrol you are able to do that. sensor networks picks up and we automatically locate and get that information to anybody. and the 7.1, look for fault surface rupture. this is how we confirm which fault the earthquake occurred on. a pattern of aftershocks -- until we get that, that is when we confirm it. we were out by air and on the ground looking for surface fault rupture on previously mapped false. we did find fault surface rupture out of the base on highway 178 where we see images from last night and on highway 178, it continues to the northeast and southwest. this is a somewhat atypical type of earthquake in southern california. we've seen these before on what we call cross faults, faults that are against the san andreas fault system. the san andreas fault is running from northwest to southeast like a big diagonal cut. against it, perpendicular to what are another set of faults that we call cross faults. what is typical is to have bigger earthquakes on faults that are oriented like the san andreas fault that are moving right laterally. what is

% southern california. good evening and thanks for joining us. i'm justine waltman pam moore is off tonight and i'm ken wayne earthquake kits are a hot item in southern california tonight as the ground continues to shake their kron 4 vicki liviakis. >>is here to give us the very latest on what's going on because guys a whole lot of shaking going since yesterday's 6.4 quake. the usgs has recorded more than a 1000 tremors in the area around ridgecrest of the half dozen or so that we're showing here all range from 4.5 the big 5.6 aftershock about 4 o'clock this morning. jones is now warning that the decades of seismic peace may be ending here in california. and yesterday shake they signal a new era of big quakes. >>the odds of subsequent large earthquakes actually goes up a little bit after something happens so it is a good time to be on our toes. >>not exactly with the day's resident of ridgecrest wanted to hear how could this have happened. her home red tag this woman still can't believe the impact the july 4th quake, any idea of the scope of the damage. >>ours is tough and that my house was

california another region. we're the 4th of july quake hit that 6.4 magnitude quake. it is an area that's not a densely populated, but it is an area that is known to geologists is being seismically active. the as the earthquake and the aftershocks are all near the city of ridgecrest. >>luckily it's a fairly remote area. thank god. the earthquake occurred 10 miles east of ridgecrest rather than under the city because of that had occurred under the city that would have been a lot more damage. i know with earthquakes, it's it's tough to make accurate predictions but kind of what you're feeling at this point to think they'll be more aftershocks in the near future. >>weaker stronger what do you think. well the aftershocks will look continue several weeks for this earthquake. >>the likelihood of there being an aftershock which is quite strong is about one in 20 roughly one in 20. we don't anticipate that there will be another event as strong as the main shocked, but it will be rocking and rolling down there and south eastern california. >>now as always happens after a big quake, the usgs

wonder here in northern california if it's going to trigger something here. >> reporter: one man we spoke to said there was so much moving he could actually feel or he could actually hear water sloshing around in his toilet bowl luckily, we are not hearing of any serious damage or injuries tonight here reporting live in san jose, christin ayers, try one. >>> a lot of video coming in of the shaking check out the swimming pool this is in los angeles. it sounds like st arc shocks >> this is interesting because it caught our attention here at tran one yesterday. that the percentage chance that it was a 9% chance because two days ago there was a magnitude 4 in this location. yesterday there was an magnitude 6 and tonight a magnitude 7.1. what can happen after this? while there is a 5% chance that this is a forequake to something bigger let us hope that does not happen. and as to why it was felt as far north as antioch, san jose, san francisco, and sacramento, this earthquake on july -- i guess i wish i was -- this was only one mile deep into that point, the usgs scientists say there coul
