A suprising warning has been issued by officials that there is an increased possibility of a moderate to strong earthquake striking southern California within the next few days.

A "Swarm" of smaller tremors set off the alert, due to the worry that these may have increased the pressure along the San Andres fault line.

Only two of the tremors were above 4.0 on the richter scale but the area that they hit are of particular concern of seismologists.

“This is close enough to be in that worry zone,” said seismologist Lucy Jones to Los Angeles Times. “It’s a part of California that the seismologists all watch.”

Presidential Debate Time September 26 2016 California

With less than a week left until the first presidential debate takes place between Republican Donald Trump and Democrat Hillary Clinton, nerves are being frayed.

It has been reported by The Washington Times that Hillary Clinton is preparing obsessively for the debates, pouring over politicy papers and readying herself for anything that the boisterous businessman can throw her way.

Trump on the other hand is reportedly taking a more relaxed approach, meeting informally with his advisors for Sunday lunch where they chat over possible attacks that he can land on Clinton.

The debate is scheduled to being at 9pm ET, this will make it 6pm in California.

As would be expected, Hillary Clinton has a massive advantage over Trump in the polling for the presidential election in the state of California.

According to the latest RealClearPolitics average (which takes into account the last 5 reliable polls in the state conducted between May 19- July 19) Clinton has a lead of 22.2%.

The latest nationwide polls show Trump trailing Clinton by about 6 points, although many Trump supporters have questioned the veracity of the polling methods.
