This means there is a 50% chance of a bigger quake right now.

1. Since your 'right now' is now 4 minutes ago ... what are the odds ... NOW?

Did they change since 10:59?

2. The Caltech and USGS professor who is the go to person for this was just on

The Caltech and USGS professor who is the go to person for this was just on; Lucy Jones. If I caught what she was saying correctly, the only other faults/places that might be effected by the quake in Kern County are those within 40 miles of the previous epicenter.

Tough for Kern County, but not exactly the "Big One" ... odds for that are the same as they ever are.

8. There was

a major earthquake up in Kern County back in 1952 (that's what the old-timers told me back when I used to live in Southern California (late '90s). It was a 7.3 magnitude and the small town of Tehachapi took the brunt of it. Killed 11, with over 30 injured and about two million dollars in property damage - pretty much every building in Tehachapi experienced some degree of earthquake damage.

6. they remain in effect for a week or more

go to school .... science matters

[mr_lebowski]

7. I have a science degree ... and that degree tells me your lack of precision in saying 'right now'

when you actually meant 'over the next week' ... is a pretty egregious science (and probability) fail.

3. This is on a minor fault

so it is unlikely to be a precursor to "the big one".

No where near the San Andreas fault.

[B Stieg]

4. Yup. USGS says it's 100 miles away from the San Andreas...

[BigmanPigman]

5. Local news in San Diego say that the fault line is not

very long at all and NOT even close to being the BIG one everyone has predicted for decades.

9. You'll need to put Article Title & link to an actual article at the site to conform to forum rules.

Consult am LBN mod if you have any questions; they will gladly help you.

Plus the article (if it exists) would seem to have to be a duplicate of the one in the LBN column just below it.
