EARTHQUAKE HITS California After Japan's DEVASTATING Global Aftershocks! (Tsunami Warning)

what's going on guys welcome back to the channel so early Monday morning Southern California got a little bit of a a wakeup shake with a magnitude of 4.1 earthquake right off the coast of Los Angeles County let's get back to that breaking news an earthquake south of Rancho Palace birdies it is a 4.1 magnitude now it's gone back and forth between 3.9 4.1 as we get more information we're hearing that people felt it for a large geographic region we're taking a look at the activity right now and it wasn't anything too too while but folks over in La uh Orange County and uh ventur counties definitely felt it in fact people were talking about it all online even the firefighters were talking about you know feeling it during the Rose Parade in Pasadena so but thankfully no one was reported as being injured and uh you know so that's always a good sign I don't know how many of you guys have family or relatives in California uh but hey uh before we dive into that uh just a real quick shout out if you if you uh appreciate staying in the know on all the different Earth shaking news be sure to hit the like button for the video and definitely subscribe to the channel I've got a lot more that I want to share with you guys in this video besides this particular earthquake uh including what's going on over in Tokyo right now so I'm going to make sure to keep you guys in the loop here if you appreciate that hit the like button subscribe to the channel so let's have a look at the videos and let's jump right into the action guys I got some pretty intense stuff that I want to share with you this earthquake Center was chilling about 10 Mi Southwest of San page and not too far from other local spots and it's not super unusual for the area based on the research that I've done which actually sees about five earthquake size uh between 4.0 and 5.0 on the RoR scale every single year more than 3,000 people responding to this 4.1 earthquake back to you wow all right we want to head now to Jessica Turner she is a geophysicist with the USGS thank you so much for joining us right now um tell us what you know about this and put in perspective for us uh whether you expect more activity oh yeah so um as as was said already there was a magnitude 4.1 earthquake that occurred just before 8:30 California time today and like was like it was said it was pretty pretty widely felt in the Southern Southern California area uh this area of California as much of the rest of the state does see a lot of earthquakes from time to time I did a quick search of um four of magnitude four and above earthquakes in about a 60 mile radius of today's earthquake and there have been over 300 earthquakes with magnitude four and above in this area since 1900 so this isn't unfamiliar um I always try to remind people if you do feel an earthquake just make sure to look around you make sure things are folded to the wall nothing will fall on you with with really intense shaking uh we probably won't see um well we will see probably some smaller aftershocks with this earthquake we do not know if it will lead to a bigger earthquake that's just something that we cannot predict but California especially is very prepared for earthquakes and tell us overnight that we heard of a a major Japan uh major earthquake in Japan 7.5 there could there be any connection between this activity there's probably not connection but like direct connection these both of these earthquakes are very close to the ring of fire so I mean you know we have that pfic paciific plate kind of moving the different at the different ends of the Pacific Ocean um but they're not directly related they're too far apart for that to have been the case and when you say there could be more activity or possibly a a bigger Quake coming that's not to be alarmist it's just uh you know talking about the scientific phenomenon what is the time frame typically uh when when can we maybe consider ourselves in the clear I think after maybe a couple of days but again it could be like a week or two later we've seen that before with the tohoku in Japan earthquake in 2011 there was like a 7.2 or magnitude 7 earthquake like maybe a week or two before the 9.0 earthquake occurred so I mean it just depends yeah so seismologist Lucy Jones she hopped on social media and pretty much let everyone know that this new year this year's this New Year's Day Quake wasn't going to be hanging around for any known fault and it also wasn't going to be causing any tsunamis so that was a very good sign um but just for the record this particular California earthquake was not related to the earthquake that took place in Japan now speaking of Japan had a pretty rough start to the new year with a massive 7.5 uh earthquake hit in Western Japan now this was a very serious earthquake with buildings going down fires starting up in um wua City uh sadly there have been some reported deaths as well a photo even hit hit the uh social media platforms um basically of what looked like like a sstory building just knocked down more than 100 buildings were damaged and the reports are actually saying that at least eight people lost their lives in the uh ishika region very very tough starts of the year and it wasn't even just that guys more news is actually coming out of Tokyo and it's not looking great so just after everyone rang in the New Year Japan's dealing with yet another heavy hit Japan Airlines passenger jet packed with nearly 400 people had a fiery mishap so the plane was coming in and it collided with a coast guard aircraft that was on its way to help with the earthquake relief so very very intense situation there uh the scene got really crazy uh you know with the commercial airplane turning into basically a big old Fireball as it skitted along the runway but thankfully you know it sounds like you know almost everyone got off the plane okay but sadly Japan's news is saying that five crew members from the Coast Guard Plane did not make it so you know and their Captain right now he's fighting for his life so uh not a very good start to the New Year especially over in Japan and we are following more breaking news out of Tokyo this morning a Japan Airlines passenger jet with nearly 400 people on board see it Landing there with the fireball on its wing it collided with the Japan coast guard aircraft on its way to help with earthquake relief efforts Japan's public broadcast are now reporting five true members on that Coast Guard Plane have been killed the captain is in critical condition Now video shows the commercial plane igniting into a fireball barreling down the runway this morning the airlin says nearly everyone from that flight was safely evacuated Japan's public broadcaster says 17 passengers were injured and this was the panicked scene inside the plane as smoke filled the cabin and passengers scrambled to find a way out CNN's will Ripley joins us live from Tokyo on everybody who you know all of the passengers on the flight 17 people ended up getting hurting the chaos uh it's a rough situation all around especially with the country already dealing with the aftermath of this big earthquake um you know my thoughts and prayers for everyone who's involved in this and it's just wild how we're dealing with all of this at the start of the new year I mean like if you guys remember yesterday I was sharing with you guys how places all around the world from Japan Alaska California Hawaii Nevada Washington were all the way to Taiwan Iran and a bunch of other spots have been feeling these rumbles of earthquakes in in in just the last 24 hours and it wasn't just the ground shaking you know there were tsunami warnings that were popping up too places like California with the San Andre's fault the central us with the um New Madrid seismic Zone and even Alaska and the Pacific Northwest are all on alert for some serious ground shaking due to their geographical locations on these big fault lines but you know let me tell you guys when the earth decides to throw a tantrum it can get pretty wild but if you guys appreciate the updates definitely hit
