Two powerful quakes rocked California in the past two days. Experts say there are more come.
The quakes — there have been more than 3,000 associated with the two major shakers —are part of a sequence that is sure to continue rumbling in Searles Valley and Ridgecrest, California, seismologists say.

The Thursday quake was only 6.8 miles northwest of Friday's epicenter near Ridgecrest.
"It is likely that there will be smaller earthquakes over the next 1 Week," the forecast reads."The number of aftershocks will drop off over time, but a large aftershock can increase the numbers again, temporarily."
