Here's the aftershock warning - check out the new probability map for changes..
MAINSHOCK -
Magnitude : 5.5 Ml
Time : 12 Jun 2005 08:41:46 AM PDT
: 12 Jun 2005 15:41:46 UTC
Coordinates : 33 deg. 31.91 min. N, 116 deg. 34.40 min. W
6 mi. ( 9 km) ESE of Anza, CA
20 mi. ( 32 km) S of Palm Springs, CA
Event ID : 14151344


STRONG AFTERSHOCKS (Magnitude 5 and larger) -
At this time (immediately after the mainshock) the probability of a
strong and possibly damaging aftershock IN THE NEXT 7 DAYS is
approximately 20 PERCENT.


EARTHQUAKES LARGER THAN THE MAINSHOCK -
Most likely, the recent mainshock will be the largest in the sequence.
However, there is a small chance (APPROXIMATELY 5 TO 10 PERCENT) of an
earthquake equal to or larger than this mainshock in the next 7 days.


WEAK AFTERSHOCKS (Magnitude 3 to 5) -
In addition, approximately 5 to 25 SMALL AFTERSHOCKS are expected in
the same 7-DAY PERIOD and may be felt locally.


This probability report is based on the statistics of aftershocks typical for
California. This is not an exact prediction, but only a rough guide to
expected aftershock activity. This probability report may be revised as more
information becomes available.
