미국 남부 캘리포니아, 또 규모 7.1 지진...곳곳에서 피해      미국 캘리포니아주 남부에서 규모 6.4의 지진이 난 지 하루 만에 더 강력한 여진이 발생했습니다. 유럽지중해지진센터는 현지 시각 5일 저녁 8시 19분쯤 캘리포니아주 로스앤젤레스로부터 북쪽으로 202㎞ 떨어진 곳에서 규모 7.1의 강진이 발생했다고 밝혔습니다. 진원의 깊이는 애초 40㎞로 관측됐다가 10㎞로 정정됐습니다. AP통신은 이번 강진이 캘리포니아 남부에서 일어난 지진으로는 20년 만에 가장 강력하다고 보도했습니다. 이번 지진으로 인한 부상자 보고는 없으나, 건축물 훼손 보고가 잇따르고 있습니다. 샌버나디노 카운티 소방국은 "집들이 움직이고, 토대에 균열이 발생했으며, 옹벽이 무너졌다"고 트위터를 통해 밝혔습니다. 이번 강진은 LA 시내는 물론 네바다주 라스베이거스와 멕시코에서도 감지됐습니다. 미국프로야구 LA다저스 홈구장에서는 기자석이 휘청거리고, 일부 팬들이 비상구로 급히 달려나가기도 했습니다. 라스베이거스에서 열린 미국프로농구 서머리그 경기도 지진 탓에 중단됐습니다. 캘리포니아 남부에서는 4일 6.4 지진이 발생한 뒤 크고 작은 여진이 천 회 넘게 이어지고 있습니다. https://www.ytn.co.kr/_ln/0104_201907061255281495

SAN FRANCISCO — A 7.1-magnitude earthquake rattled Southern California on Friday night, one day after the strongest recorded quake there in 20 years struck — and seismologists warned that further episodes are expected.

The United States Geological Survey reported that the latest earthquake’s epicenter was in the Mojave Desert, 11 miles from Ridgecrest, Calif. — near where a 6.4-magnitude quake had hit about 36 hours earlier. Since Thursday’s earthquake, the area had been jolted by a series of rolling aftershocks, including one of a 5.4-magnitude that roused Californians on Friday morning.

“Hold on, it’s going again,” Jade Alexander, the manager of the Rodeway Inn & Suites in Ridgecrest, said in a phone interview following another aftershock on Friday night. She said the aftershocks were coming every five minutes.

Although the area where the earthquake struck is sparsely populated, the navy has a weapons testing facility just outside Ridgecrest, the Naval Air Weapons Station China Lake.

“It’s constant,” said Ms. Alexander, whose hotel in Ridgecrest is less than a five-minute drive from the naval station. “My anxiety level is over the limit.”

“The floor is cracked,” she added, saying that bookshelves, lockers and televisions were thrown to the ground.
