Californians are wondering if they are going to be hit with a major earthquake sometime in the near future. This, after California was struck by three earthquakes since Sunday. The quakes, measuring 7.2, 5.2 and 4.9 on the Richter Scale, struck within five days of one another.
The 7.2 quake was off the coast of California and caused tsunami warnings to be briefly issued. The latest one, today, struck along the San Andreas faultline which is widely believed will one day slip and cause much of California to be destroyed.
Seismologists are saying that quakes like this happen all the time and that the public should not be alarmed.
