California experienced seven minor earthquakes in under 24 hours, with the strongest measuring 3.0 on the Foothills fault system. The quakes, primarily along the San Andreas fault, raise concerns as it is overdue for a significant earthquake, known as the 'Big One.' Previous major earthquakes on this fault caused extensive damage and loss of life. Despite the current seismic activity being minor, experts suggest that a major quake could occur in the next 30 years, emphasizing the need for preparedness.
California has experienced seven earthquakes in less than 24 hours, with the latest striking Friday morning.
The initial event, a magnitude 2.7, hit Thursday off the coast of Northern California, followed by another magnitude 2.5 less than one hour later in the same region.
