00:00A powerful earthquake just rocked California's central coast, and people felt it hundreds of miles away.
00:06At exactly 9.45 a.m. Pacific Time, a 4-1 magnitude quake hit near Templeton, just off the infamous San Andreas Fault.
00:14Tremors rippled from Salinas in the north all the way down to Lompoc.
00:18Windows rattled, walls shook, and more than 600 people instantly reported the jolt to the U.S. Geological Survey.
00:25The quake triggered tsunami fears, but thankfully, no warning was issued.
00:30Still, experts are sounding the alarm.
00:32This wasn't just a one-off.
00:34There's now a 21% chance of another quake, magnitude 3 or higher, hitting the area within a week.
00:41And get this, the last massive quake on the San Andreas was 167 years ago.
00:46These big ones happen every 150 years on average.
00:49Yeah, we're overdue.
00:51When the next one hits, it could mean 1,800 deaths, $200 billion in damage, and a recovery that takes years.
00:59This quake may have passed, but California's ground is anything but still.
01:03So, let's go.
01:04I'm going to go with them to the previous month.
01:08Then, let's go with them to the next hour.
01:11This is to the last half of the years.
01:16This will be the first half of the year.
01:17So, these are the first half of the year.
01:19This could mean all this way.
01:21The big ones are the first half of the year and they're gonna get it.
