Scientists warn of possible bigger quake on San Andreas
The Pasadena area and Southern California felt two major quakes Sunday, with a 7.4 main event near Yucca Valley and a 6.1 Joshua Tree aftershock. Seismologists say a larger 8.0+ quake on the San Andreas is possible but not likely, stressing uncertainty and ongoing risk. They note a 5 percent chance of a larger quake within three days and a 75 percent chance of more magnitude-6 aftershocks in a month.
