The recent earthquakes have caused widespread damage and power outages in Southern California. The LA Times reports that over 150,000 customers were without power in the Los Angeles area at one point.
The United States Geological Survey (USGS) reports that there have been over 100 earthquakes in California and Nevada in the past week. The USGS warns that there is a high probability of additional earthquakes in the region in the coming days.
