This one was 5 times stronger than the one they had on Thursday!!
The latest earthquake Friday struck 11 miles northeast of Ridgecrest, according to the US Geological Survey. It was five times bigger than Thursday's 6.4 -magnitude earthquake, also centered near Ridgecrest, CNN Meteorologist Brandon Miller said.
Gas leaks caused structure fires throughout Ridgecrest, residents reported water main breaks, and the power and communications were out in some areas, Mark Ghilarducci, Director of California Governors' Office of Emergency Management, said.
Wow this is scary stuff!!

'You couldn't stand... without falling over'Ridgecrest resident Jaye Krona said the earthquake felt like her "rocking chair gone crazy."
"We had to sit down or crawl on hands and knees to get around because you couldn't stand up and be in an upright position without falling over," Krona said.
Krona and her friend Kelly-Jo Lewis spent the night outside on Lewis' driveway.
"With everything shaking, things are falling. It's just not safe," Lewis said. "I felt safer outside, and I felt me and her were safer together being in pairs."
