That's charactategorized by int. we haven't had that in parts of world. these are worldwide earthquakes. take a look at that, how many do we get, about 15 of 7.0, this is certainly not unprecedented. victor, you see the colors. 6.4, the 7.1, just to the northwest. seven miles apart. then all of the dots you see, those are aftershocks. the orange ones and red ones means they happened in the last six hours. here's the forecast, as far as what we're expecting as additional earthquakes, aftershocks. nothing to do with the san andreas. this will not trigger earthquakes along the san andreas, these ...

Not impressive. >> when we talk about the probability. 5% is the je ngeneric number. on average over the area. the ability to have what you'll be triggering if we're seeing a lot of after shocks, the numbers go up a bit. when you have earthquakes you tend to have earthquakes. this is an active sequence. after shock goes up with the over all number. this is probably -- this was a 7.1. 7.0 would be an after shock. >> i cut you off. >> can you give a specific locater of where that is? >> i apologize i don't have a reference on that. it is southwest of -- along highway 178.

Larger. >> which means there's a higher chance, good morning, to gets a 7.0 or higher. and there's a 50% chance of getting the kind of quake we got 34 hours ago. these were 34 hours apart as far as the quakes. i'll point them out. this is the 6.4. seven miles away was the 7.1. so along the same fault line here. i want to break this down as far as the numbers. look as what happen happened the last 34 to 36 hours. thousands and thousands of aftershocks. you're going to feel all of them. goodness, when you're in a home and experienced this traumatic event, you don't know if that's going to be a b...

They get more intense. the 6.4 did not have severe shaking, ridgecrest did feel it with the 7.1. this is the average as lucy was mentioned. this is just average. when you get a 7.1, the chance of getting a six or higher are about one. we'll watch this closely. that's an average. that can change rather quickly. one in ten chance. i think that's pretty significant to get something above a 7.0. we're hoping the 7.0 was the max. but we'll keep watching for you here. what folks need to understand is that we are continue with the earth shaking. once you get the rupture, it's not quite done. when it'...

Happen there. does this help that research? >> well, we will go in and look, but i spent a couple of decades trying to find something that was different about fore shocks about other earthquakes and never found it. we have more data, we have much better stations than we had for any previous fore shocks we looked at. if there's something there we'll try to find it but it's not obvious. >> you talked about the probability of a 7 or greater magnitude. is there a possibility this could be another fore shock. >> yes, included in that approximately 1 in 10 chance of a 7.0 or bigger. 3.8 coming in. >...
