Saw both 6.9 and 7.1 not sure which one is accurate. Over 1700 aftershocks since yesterday's quake. The seismic gal said the more aftershocks the less likely it is for another large quake to occur. So much for that lol.

7.1 Quake Rocks Southern California
LOS ANGELES (CBSLA) — A 7.1 quake rocked Southern California Friday evening.

The quake struck at 8:21 p.m. and was centered in the same location as Thursday’s. 6.4.

KCAL9 anchor Sara Donchey held co-anchor Juan Fernandez’ arm as she steadied herself before ducking under her desk.

He, meanwhile, reported feeling nauseous about the quake that felt like it wasn’t going to stop.

CBS2/KCAL9 reporter Lesley Marin heard from her friend Laura who was attending this evening’s Dodgers/Padres game. “She said everyone started to scream.”

The 7.1 quake is now considered a foreshock to Thursday’s event.

Since yesterday, there were more than 1,400 smaller quakes. The largest recorded about 5.0.

Caltech on Thursday said there was a 6 percent chance there would be a quake of 6.0 or larger rocking the same area in the coming days.
