The Bay Area would experience a similar scenario - cell towers out, water lines down, electricity gone for days, and no way to contact their loved ones. So the bottom line is that, so far, all has remained normal in the Bay area, but the motion down south is very consistent with what we could expect to happen here. But there are other zones across California and even Nevada that take up some of the relative motion between those two plates." "The San Andreas is sort of the main player in accommodating the deformation between the two. "We're on the boundary between the Pacific plate and the North American plate," said Kaven. The system uses the same data feed to receive and distribute alerts as Earthquake Warning California, the state’s Earthquake Early Warning System.

"So the shaking that was felt locally in the Ridgecrest area is very similar to what we would feel in a San Andreas, Hayward or Calaveras event of this magnitude." (California Earthquake Authority)Įarthquake experts say there's about a 3% chance of a larger earthquake happening from now over the next couple of days and the likelihood will continue to decrease as time passes. In partnership with Google, California’s earthquake early warning technology is automatically included in millions of Android phones used in California, without the need to download a separate app. "The depth of the earthquake is more or less what we would expect in the Bay Area," said Kaven. As for what the next big one may feel like, the Ridgecrest fault orientation is a lot like what we have in the Bay Area.
