Continuing Aftershocks and Concerns
The earthquakes have been followed by hundreds of aftershocks, keeping residents on edge. Scientists are concerned that additional large earthquakes could occur, and they are urging residents to be prepared.
The earthquakes have also raised concerns about the safety of California's infrastructure. Many buildings and bridges are decades old and may not be able to withstand a major earthquake.
