Debi, I agree! Dr. Lucy Jones is SMART!! I like how she talks about EQs so nonchalantly, like it was just grocery shopping. She has this crazy calmness in her voice (more so than most people who talk about their field and are passionate in it!).

While I know that there will be a lot of aftershocks, it is still crazy to me to see a map of them! Aftershocks have primarily been on the southern extension of the Elsinore fault, but there are have also been a number on the San Jacinto fault up through Indio (-ish) and the San Andreas Fault up near the Salton Sea. Thanksfully they are all less populated areas, so damage will be minimalized!

Looks like there was a 4.1 after shock in the Yuma Winterhaven area at 12:15. The show isn't over yet folks.

Two people died. One because they panicked and ran out into the street and got hit by a car!

I was cooking Easter dinner when It hit.
My wife was asking if we should go outside I'm like "Heck no! I'm making gravy I ain't gonna screw that up for nothing!"
