Californians near the epicenter of Friday night's 7.1-magnitude earthquake are staying cautious about more quakes as aftershocks continued in the following two days. This comes as the golden state had seen a 6.4-magnitude one on Thursday. The earthquake caused power outages and water cuts, which were still not fully recovered in some places after two days. Although Californians are no strangers to earthquakes, many are still anxious over the two strong shakes and choose to sleep in the shelter or inside their own vehicles at night.

 Leader, Shelter, Roy Vargas said  "So this shelter has been set up by the America Red Cross of our partners that are helping us out here. It's a evacuation shelter for individuals who have been displaced related to the earthquake that happened here in this area. We are providing food, shelter and information assistance and whatever we can provide for the community to help them to get through the current situation."

Leader, Shelter, Roy Vargas said  "Well, I think the general mood, of course, everyone is stressed, because of the situation that have happened. But overall, I think people are about is joy; they are happy because they are working towards getting better." Friday's earthquake was the largest to occur in California in nearly 20 years.
