California residents who experienced the 6.4 magnitude earthquake shared footage online of their experiences as experts warn more powerful tremors may be yet to come.
Videos posted online captured the scary moment a 6.4 magnitude earthquake struck California on July 4, the state's largest in two decades, prompting fears that the so-called"big one" had finally arrived.
Ridgecrest resident Stephen Sykes told BBC News he was in the shower when the earthquake hit."The whole house shook violently and we both ran out into the street. This went on for about 10 to 15 seconds, we were really scared," Sykes told the BBC. Officials advised"everyone to be aware of the possibility of aftershocks, especially when in or around vulnerable structures such as unreinforced masonry buildings. This earthquake could be part of a sequence. An earthquake sequence may have larger and potentially damaging earthquakes in the future, so remember to: Drop, Cover, and Hold on."
