Any body in Petrolia feel it? Are you OK?
I saw that there was one earlier today at 10:30. It was at a depth of 16 kilometers.
And one earlier a few days ago on 6-21 that was a M 2.6

With the quakes up farther north, I think this is a bad omen. It could all be small quakes relieving stress though, it does not have to be a major event.

I was going to post this, but I see someone already did.

For the last 16 hours, the west coast has been rattling.

It makes me nervous.

According to RT (of all places) The 2nd quake hit at 12:50!
The USGS reported that the 5.7 quake occurred 126 miles (204 kilometers) west of Ferndale, California, around 12:50pm Pacific time.

EDIT: sorry, this was reported by RT a couple of years ago ( ironic no?) Thank you for pointing this out Darkblade

Sun Valley has been pretty active lately too.

Sun Valley earthquake swarm continues, at one point producing 60 quakes in a matter of hours

An earthquake swarm continues to quietly rumble below Sun Valley north of Reno, at one point producing more than 60 temblors in a span of just a few hours. The swarm, which started in the early morning hours of Wednesday, June 19, has so far only produced small quakes, not strong enough to be felt by humans on the surface.

Small, but active.

I felt it, barely, in Fort Bragg, CA (roughly 60 miles away). Was reading on the bed and it felt like one of those old shaking beds that some hotels used to have.

Only for about 5 seconds though. I immediately checked the USGS site as an earthquake was the most likely reason.

Those beds.... You instantly reminded me of the bed in the original National Lampoon's Vacation movie. "This is crazy, this is crazy, this is crazy!"

Just found this u-tube vid.
I think I've said "get out of California" at least 50 times.

It could be an aftershock.
It fits the size.
But not quite the location.
I hope there are no more big ones.
