Quake shakes SoCal
A magnitude 5.2 earthquake and more than 200 aftershocks rattled Southern Californians starting on Tuesday night and continuing into Wednesday morning. The temblor didn’t do much damage, but was enough to set off the state’s Earthquake Warning system and leave people wondering: Is a bigger one on the way? The risk is fairly low: About 5% to 10% of all California earthquakes are followed by a larger one within a week, and the probability of a larger quake depends on how much aftershock activity there is, experts say.
