M7.1 Quake Rocks Mexico City On Anniversary Of 1985 Earthquake

SHOOTING OR IS THERE ANY OTHER
DOGS INVOLVED.
WE WILL BRING MORE INFORMATION
RIGHT HERE ON KCAL 9.
SANDRA: LET'S BRING YOU MORE
INFORMATION ON THE MEXICAN
EARTHQUAKE, THE POWERFUL
EARTHQUAKE THAT JUST STRUCK
NEAR MEXICO CITY.
AGAIN, THE FIRST REPORTS OF 7.1
CENTERED NEAR THE ESTATE OF
PUEBLA.
DON BLAKEMAN WITH THE USGS
JOINING IS NOW ON A TELEVISION.
WHAT CAN YOU TELL US?
WHAT IS THE DAMAGE?
WHAT IS THE DANGER WHEN YOU
HAVE AN EARTHQUAKE AS STRONG AS
THIS, 7.1 QUAKE.
AT THIS POINT WE HAVE NOT
HAD ANY REPORTS BUT BECAUSE OF
THE SIZE OF THE EARTHQUAKE, AND
THE LOCATION I WOULD EXPECT
THAT THERE HAD BEEN DAMAGES,
CERTAINLY.PRESENTLY NOT IN
MEXICO CITY.
WE'LL JUST HAVE TO SEE BUT
THERE ARE A LOT OF TOWNS AND
MINOR CITIES CLOSE TO THE
EPICENTER.
JUAN: RIGHT NOW THEY
PRELIMINARY WE ARE GETTING IS A
7.1.
IS THAT GOING TO CHANGE AT SOME
POINT?
IT MAY CHANGE AS A TENT
TENTH OR SO.
THIS ONE SEEMS LIKE IT ROLLED
ON FOR A WHILE.
IT IS PRETTY TYPICAL.
THE SHORTER THE DURATION IF IT
IS A SMALLER EARTHQUAKE.IT
FELT LIKE A QUICK JOLT WHEREAS
LARGER EARTHQUAKES THAT ARE
RELEASING A GREAT DEAL MORE
ENERGY, THEY TEND TO LAST MUCH
LONGER AND YOU GET MORE SURFACE
WAVES, MORE ROLLING MOTION.
SANDRA: YOU MENTIONED THAT YOU
WERE CONCERNED BECAUSE OF THE
LOCATION OF THE EARTHQUAKE.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY THAT?
ARE YOU TIRED OF THE AGE OF THE
BUILDINGS?
THAT THEY MIGHT NOT MAY BE ABLE
TO HOLD UP?
ONE IS HOW THEY ARE BUILT,
SOMETIMES THE AGENT MEANS THEY
ARE WEAKER OR STRONGER.
IT IS REALLY THE DENSITY NEAR
THE EPICENTER.
JUAN: HOW SOON DO YOU THINK
BEFORE YOU WILL BE GETTING MORE
ON THE GROUND, REPORTS BACK TO
THE USGS AS TO THE EFFECTS OF
THE EARTHQUAKE?
IT GENERALLY TAKES A
HALF-HOUR TO AN HOUR BEFORE WE
GET REPORTS IN.
WE WILL JUST HAVE TO SEE.
IT DEPENDS ON WHO REPORTS FROM
NEAR THE EPICENTER.SANDRA: SO
THIS MAKES ALL OF US A LITTLE
NERVOUS.
I KNOW A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE
THINKING THAT WE HAVE THE 3.1,
3.0 LAST NIGHT IN THE LOS
ANGELES AREA.
IN WEST LA AND NOW A MAJOR
EARTHQUAKE IN MEXICO.
WE HAVE A PRETTY STRONG
EARTHQUAKE A FEW WEEKS AGO.
IS THERE ANY INDICATION THAT WE
COULD HAVE MORE IN CALIFORNIA?
WE CANNOT SAY YES OR NO
BECAUSE FORTUNATELY, THE
SCIENCE IS NOT THERE TO PREDICT
EARTHQUAKES BUT THE FACT THAT
THESE HAVE OCCURRED IS JUST
KIND OF HOW THE EARTH WORKS.
EARTHQUAKES ARE RANDOM IN TIME,
NOT LOCATION.
WE KNOW THE BOUNDARIES WHERE
MOST OF THE QUAKES OCCUR BUT WE
CAN SAY THAT THESE ARE
TYPICALLY NOT RELATED.
IN OTHER WORDS, THE 8.1 DID NOT
TRIGGER THIS QUAKE OR THE ONE
IN CALIFORNIA.
WE DO NOT SEE THAT TYPE OF
TRIGGER.
JUAN: NOT RELATED BUT A GOOD
CALL FOR US TO ALWAYS BE READY
AND PREPARED.
