Things. if it's a restaurant or maybe an appliance store or something like that, they're going to be gas lines, or people cooking at home, could be gas lines. but you also don't know what people are doing. before this earthquake happened, could be electrical, too. some of the pictures we have seen, the houses we have seen, things are falling off the shelves. there's really no telling but it seemed like it would be the gas line, that would be the biggest concern. that is a big part of the reason why we were running out of that restaurant. some people were like, i forgot something. absolutely no...

7.0 couldn't mean we know how strong the shaking is right next to it. that's strong enough a lot of old buildings could be badly damaged. i think new buildings probably would do okay. it could be landslides and settlement. and it's just going to take time to figure out what's happening in terms of pipes and power lines and water lines breaking. but being close to magnitude 7.0 causes a lot of damage. >> i understand the mayor has been sending out first responders as you can see. they're literally going door to door checking homes and roads. how long does something like that take? and also, wha...

Now thought to be a fore shock to the one we just had, that 7.1 from last night. kern county officials were already responding to that one, already had their hands full with one that. not to mention the hundreds upon hundreds of aftershocks that we are all now experiencing following these -- both of these quakes. the usgs says there's been about a hundred following that 7.1, that they will get more dramatic. there's insome good news. we've been speaking to dr. lucy jones. she's the incredible authority on all of this, has incredible experience covering all of these things. i think the voice of...

Feelable. some them are one or twolp magnitude, not the three and four that you can feel. ridgecrest felt the severe ñi shocking. searles valley right at a 7 around a four or five magnitude. if that earthquake was under l.a. it would have felt like a four even though it was so far away it was a seven, it didn't feel like a seven in l.a. magnitude aftershocks probably a six. one of those and we go down from here. butñr the difference is exponential. this is what people don't understand. the difference between a 6.0jf d a 7.0 for power is [2a times.t( it's ten times. but it's the power that we...
