Hey Earthmaster, here’s my feedback from the quakes. I live in SW Bakersfield and felt the more prominent quakes. 5.2 @21:07- was at home standing approx 16 miles (straight line) from the epicenter. Heard a faint booming noise that got my attention and the dogs. As I was about to investigate I started to feel rolling and a good shake. Appliances and items rattled, nothing fell or was damaged. Took cover in hallway with dogs. Seemed to last for 60-60 seconds. Felt a few brief and subtle aftershocks after 3.8 @16:43 - again was home approx 16 miles from epicenter, this time sitting down. Felt a quick and noticeable jolt which caused the house to creak, by the time I jumped up and took cover in doorway it was over 4.4(allegedly) 19:09 - this time was not home (approx 14.75 miles away) was sitting down with a good amount of people and felt a good consistent shaking that seemed to last 20-30 seconds. No booming, creaking or rattling but I felt the movement was similar to the 5.2. These series of quakes seem more prominent than the 2019 ridgecrest series, I do understand that those were a little further away. Hope this helps and appreciate what you do! Definitely getting prepared.
I live in Santa Barbara. I was on my tablet last night when an earthquake alert said that a quake was going on in my area. Bakersfield. Sure enough, it came rolling through. Not very strong. If you were sleeping, I doubt if it woke you up. But it gets your hackles up for a few seconds.
Something is brewing way to many for the size of the quake in my opinion lived here all my life Ridgecrest is coming to mind I think last nights quake was closer to a 6
@@johnbaker7435 actually the earthquake wouldn't fall in the smaller category it was a decent magnitude. So no, all of these aftershocks are not uncommon. It happens all of the time we just don't feel most of them.
This was a 6 my opinion but notice how the media kept dropping the actual magnitude from 5.9 to 5.7 and now 5.2, I’m here in Rosarito Beach Mexico and we felt it and lasted for about 30 seconds
I'm literally working exactly right where these quakes are occurring.old River road. And Copus road cross streets is directly in the center of these earthquakes. There's a 300mva solar farm and I'm on a Hot Commissioning team for the site and we are turning it on ((very slowly) we are feeling the ground move all day. We likely miss most of it though as we are within our trucks most of the time.
I'm in Bakersfield between Kern River and Cal State. I was in my car last night for what came across on my phone as a 5.7 (should have been at least a 6, there were many reports of 6), downgraded quickly to a 5.4 or 5.3. It shook my car very hard, side to side. Alarms sounded. Whole thing was frightful. The 7:09 PM earthquake tonight was similar, but the shaking did not last quite as long. I was at a red light, and again it shook my car quite hard. (New car, not the car). It was initially listed as a 4.7 but downgraded to a 4.39. Why is almost every earthquake being downgraded?? The last 24 hours here in Bakersfield have been rough with all of the aftershocks and smaller quakes. Last night, my dogs were making horrible sounds and wanted to be outside of the house. One dog stuck his nose down on the ground in the yard, was running all around the yard, crying, and barking at the soil. He could hear something under the ground, feel it. The other two were frantic and howling right before each quake, then my phone would register the earthquake. Madness. The dogs did not sleep last night. I couldn't even try to sleep until midnight, when the quakes lessened in intensity. There were a number of helicopters overhead and I wondered why. Today I remembered there's a large oil company down the street with all kinds of towers full of oil there along Westside Parkway and the water. What a mess if that would ever crack open in an earthquake...
@@rachelklein2319 I'm 20 mins north of you and my 2 dogs were acting similar ways as yours... Then the 5.9 hit... Shook my house and since the 2019 Ridgecrest 6.4 and 7.1 my garage floor (concrete) cracked in 3 sections with one section lifting up little by little from the center of the garage. I moved things to elimate weight on the side that the ground seems going down. Patched the cracks with quick mix, (yea I'm not an expert on this) it helped to stop movement but now with yesterday's quake, concrete broke again. Anyway stay alert and prepared for the upcoming earthquake.
@@IvanHernandez-wh8eq I hope everything is okay for you out there. Sorry about your garage floor. A guy I know had his livingroom ceiling crack down the middle in the biggest earthquake the other night. It is all still up there but he said the crack ran between sheets of drywall. It's strange that it's quiet now after what they were calling 'earthquake swarm', so many earthquakes over 2 or 3 days. I do feel like a big one is on the way at some point. Pray we all survive that. Bodfish, Lake Isabella area just got hit with bad fires. It's been a rough summer. Stay safe, Ivan.
I remember growing up, everyone talked about how California was going to break off into the ocean during an earthquake. People decided to leave California and go back east. Then they found out they don’t like tornadoes. mother nature is always busy. 🌪 ✨Thank you for your ALWAYS fascinating & helpful videos!! 🌎
Check out what’s going on at rancho palos verde. Allegedly, the homes are damaged due to a land slide but there’s a pretty large fault line that runs directly through rancho palos verde. The street looks like it’s starting to split in half and That fault line is directly connected with San Andreas. With so much activity in the area the weaker points will start to buckle first. Just a theory but something is definitely headed our way.
Greedy developers built houses there decades ago, and plenty of people want to live right at the coast. It's a risk one takes for living in such an area.
Portuguese Bend, my kids studied this in earth science class (in the 80s) and we went to Palos Verdes to look at the fault. It is such a a beautiful area, the views are amazing and the ocean crashing is captivating.
I've noticed since the 2019 7.1 Ridgecrest earthquake our ground has become weaker out here near Bakersfield... That 7.1 was strong and I'm sure it changed the landscape and the ground beneath us. Top it off with the heavy trains that weigh so much, it can trigger small quakes.
Notice how the media said 5.9 then lowered the magnitude to 5.7 and now 5.2?! My opinion it was 6.0 since it lasted about 30 seconds and we are here in Rosarito Beach Mexico
My uncle was a geologist for major companies all over SoCal. He often predicted a BIG earthquake would open up the Gulf of California into the Salton Sea before he passed. Well, he died😮 in 1984 at 72 years old.
Have you heard, or did your uncle know of Jim Bergland, or his book, "The man who predicts earthquakes?" I have his book, signed by him, with his official California geologist stamp in it. He took out an ad in a major paper in the SF Bay area, and predicted the Loma Prieta 1989 quake two days before it happened.
I remember that 7.1 magnitude earthquake because the shaking lasted so long that I have been through. Then six months later I was in the Philippines going through the Taal Volcano erupting on January 12, 2020 from 12 miles away from the main crater. I felt so many volcanic earthquakes from that. The house was shaking a lot that night. Down here in Anaheim I didn't feel much shaking from the earthquakes last night. I was happy that my shake alert worked which was the first time that I heard it.
This is worrisome. All these small earthquakes are a warning that something really bad is about to strike. And that’s the most feared thing. The San Andreas disaster.
Thanks for the heads up. USGS lies. I’ve seen it first hand. Aloha from Fissure 8 in Puna Hawaii. You are doing a great service. You and Dutchsine are hero’s . Keep up the good work please!
I live in NW Bakersfield and it's been shaking the house good. Last night felt like it lasted a long time. Tonight was a shorter jolt. The alarm for an in coming quake from My Shake app came before both of these quakes.
We are feeling it off Stockdale Hwy in Bakersfield 😮Not as big as last night’s ..put tennis shoes by your bed incase we get a big one in the night.. car keys and flash lights water bottles and move your car out of the garage if you can’t life the garage door if electricity is off. We had a big after quake from Northridge felt it in Santa Barbara .. 4 days without electricity ⚡️
@@breannathompson9094 Yes . However if someone is weak or elderly they should park outside. In Santa Barbara fires people panic and with old homes the garage doors are heavier.. it’s just an idea. SB had us pack the car and back into the garage to be ready for fire.. earthquakes are probably not as bad but it’s a precaution.
i was there in ridgecrest during those 2019 sequences. truly hellish. i had so much motion sickness for a month or so after going thru all of those. i live in bakersfield now and these recent ones are bringing back PTSD for sure.
Rocking and Rolling now at 7:23 a.m. eastern time August 8th, 2024, since this happened, there was a 7.1 in southwest Japan! Hold on for the ride! 🕊💞🕯🙏🏼
We might have felt these last night from Utah, near the Wasatch front. The stuff on my wife's nightstand was rattling lightly for several seconds, on a few occasions. Several dogs in the neighborhood also freaked out for a few minutes this morning and afternoon (including ours - they don't all usually go bark in concert)
I was in Ridgecrest on July 4th 2019 when the 6.4 quake hit. Contrary to what Lucy said, I said there would be a larger one the next day and there was on July 5th, a 7.1.
Peace! Hunter College is a terrific school..traditionally one of the best…however we have big issues in NY/NYC..as well flooding is one of the bigger issues..
I'm in Bakersfield. I've felt 3 after shocks today, the last one was about 60-90min ago. The last two felt more like hard jolts as opposed to a wave. But we could visibly see the walls shake. It's been really bizarre the amount of quakes in the past day, I don't remember ever feeling so many in succession and I haven't felt an earth quake as bad as the one last night since the 90s. And it seems like there are not a lot of experts talking about what's happening in depth, which is why I came to youtube and luckily found your channel. So if there is a big one, do you think it will happen out here near bakersfield or somewhere else along the fault? Do youthink there's less of a chance of anything bigger happening if we pass say the 48 hour mark?
Our Cockatiel picked up on the Big one last night he goes crazy just before. We are in Lindsay 40 miles north of Bakersfield. My wife felt it also. The cockatiel has not picked up on any of today’s events? Intresting yo me.
@@shannonmilitano1531 do what ya can. Have a plan. Work with your neighbor. Work with your own knowing. Think about what's important to you, your kids , your pets....just think not scared, I've done what I can to prepare. For Anything. Trust in yourself, and act accordingly. Peace.🙏🤗
Don’t worry hon, “The Big One” has been expected for decades. With the right releases in pressure along the San Andreas fault, this “Big One” could even take hundreds of years to happen. Like TEM says, be aware and prepare. Living in fear takes away some valuable time that can always be used in a positive way. 🙏🥰💕🌈🦋🐺🐉🦅🌎
I watched this vid several hours ago and I remember that you mentioned looking for correlating earthquakes on the other side of the ocean... well... a 6.9 and a 7.1 55 seconds apart s. pacific coast of Japan. Curious that the 2 quakes were a minute apart like the 2 California quakes.....
Matthew 24:7-8 Nation will rise against nation, kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines, pestilences and earthquakes in various places. All these are the beginning of birth pains. Jesus is coming soon! REPENT...BELIEVE...and be SAVED.❤️🙏
@@RoyceSenjes what’s not to understand? I’m saying there’s a high possibility there can be a 6.0+ because these sequence of earthquakes are very similar to ridge crest in 2019 where everyone thought the 6.4 was the biggest quake until 34 hours later there was the 7.1 and the small earthquakes also had a similar sequence just saying.
What’s going on is America is about to be destroyed by weather the likes of you’ve never seen. Come back to this comment to tell me I’m right at the end of this year
Right. Even saying the big one would only be around magnitude 8 is a huge understatement. We have to remember than California used to be an island like 500 maybe 700 years ago. The "big one" could quite honestly be an apocalyptic event...
Knowing california used to be an island around 500 years ago maybe longer makes me think that an 8.0 is a huge understatement. Earthquakes in those faults could quite honestly be apocalyptic...
❤The lady that reports on Yellowstone all the time, says that the U s g s goes home on the weekend... Maybe they went home earlier in the week.That's why there's no reporting going on, They just left everything on automatic😮😢
Just remember to have your shoes by your bed or couch - majority of injuries actually come from 1) falling items and 2) cut / puncture injuries to the feet/legs
One of the largest oil deposits in California right where all the quakes are occurring. They need to check the capped wells. With all this seismic activity there might be a lot of oil refilling some of them.
I felt both last night and tonight, though I'm down around Ventura.... did you do this same thing over the last couple years when we had swarms near Ojai?
Well I didn't feel any of the earthquakes so far in San Bernardino, so I can't compare them. The focal mechanisms are all over the place, which makes me think that the area is kind of crumpling under the strain. If that little corner crumples enough, I don't see how the San Andreas Fault doesn't go. No idea whether the entire southern section will go or not but it is all under an immense amount of stress so we'll see. One seismograph station that you might want to look at is the one at Cal State San Bernardino because it's located only a few thousand feet away from the San Andreas Fault. It might be interesting to see how these quakes look as the waves cross the San Andreas Fault right there and compare it to the seismograph from Cal State Bakersfield.
