I contacted Charlotte King while damntheptb and I were researching for this thread. Despite being a very busy woman, she is also a very gracious
woman interested only in sharing her insights so people can be better prepared. Damntheptb and I both signed up to receive her e-mail alerts (they
are free), and I must admit, it gives me peace of mind and a sense of having
some control over this situation, in that I can prepare for a
large seismic event and not be caught off guard.

Last night on Coast to Coast, Jim Berkland was on for a few minutes predicting a seismic event around Bakersfield. People there are reporting swarms
of frogs, as were seen in China in the area of the EQ in the days preceding that huge seismic event. He also mentioned lost pet ads were up
considerably.
Charlotte mentioned this area a few days ago in one of her e-mail alerts that I received.
Here's the deal here in the Reno area. The seismologists at UNR, USGS and other various agencies are all vehemently denying that our EQ swarm has
anything to do with volcanic activity-- but rumors are flying all over the area that it does. I'd like to investigate this controversy here, pro and
con, with evidence, so if you have an opinion, please let us know.
To get us started, here is a map of Nevada volcanic activity both past and present. I found it interesting to compare this map with the USGS map of
recent seismic activity. I'll do more research on this later today.
