    Earthquakes: ‘Foreshock,’ ‘mainshock,’ ‘aftershock,’ ‘pre-shock’ – what’s the difference?
    CALTECH – Foreshock! Who knew?
    For some Southern Californians, earthquakes have been all about, well, the earthquake – the main event, the big one (little b and little o). But Caltech scientists in the days since the July 4th 6.4 earthquake in Kern County and the 7.1 magnitude just a day later on a nearby second fault have a new lesson for us — or at least a reintroduction, of sorts, to the terms pre-shocks, foreshocks and mainshocks, and yes, the ubiquitous aftershocks –

    The Clippers got their Fun Guy — and his All-Star pal! — and rocked the NBA late Friday night like, yes, a magnitude 7.1 earthquake.
    Maybe their jolt was even bigger, considering the years of aftershocks to come.
    While most Toronto Raptors fans slept, the Clippers — ninja-like in all of their stealthy free agency dealings this offseason — secured a surprise superstar pairing of Kawhi Leonard and Paul George.

    How about our Lakers – er, Clippers?
    In a stunning end to the free agent summer of 2019, it turned into a Tale of One City … ours … with, perhaps, the NBA’s two best teams.
    With Kawhi Leonard the lone star left on the board, the team who got him would win the summer.
    That would be the Lakers, Kawhi confidante Cris Carter of Fox Sports said last week.
