The USGS noted that there is approximately a 1-in-20 chance of a larger earthquake within the next few days.At the site of the epicenter, the San Andreas fault intersects the San Jacinto fault, according to the USGS. The San Jacinto fault branches off from the San Andreas fault, which is more than 800 miles long and runs from northern California to Cajon Pass.
