Info From Reuters. STRONG AFTERSHOCKS (Magnitude 5 and larger) – At this time (immediately after the mainshock) the probability of a strong and possibly damaging aftershock IN THE NEXT 7 DAYS is approximately 40 PERCENT. EARTHQUAKES LARGER THAN THE MAINSHOCK – Most likely, the recent mainshock will be the largest in the sequence. However, there is a small chance (APPROXIMATELY 5 TO 10 PERCENT) of an earthquake equal to or larger than this mainshock in the next 7 days. A magnitude-5.9 earthquake has struck in the Southern California desert, east of Los Angeles, rattling buildings from Los Angeles to San Diego. The US Geological Survey said the quake was centred about 21 kilometres north north-west of the desert community of Borrego Springs. There were no immediate reports of damage or injury from the quake, the latest in a series that has rattled Southern California in recent months. Borrego Springs Fire Protection District captain Miguel Manzano said “it was a pretty strong quake, lasted about 10 to 15 seconds”. He said his department was unaware of any damage in the community but would be checking the area. “We did feel it pretty strong,” said John Yzaguirre, manager of the Borrego Springs Resort hotel. “There’s nothing broken but it was really strong, probably one of the strongest ones we’ve felt.”

At the moment of the 5.4 chino hills California earthquake, luckly, the store clerk knew where to stand to escape from all the falling items from the shelf. The store is about 8 miles away from the quake epi center.
