There's a whole mess of 3+'s going on in the Yucatan and southern Mexico right now

I count 20 eq's in central Cali in just the last eight hours - www.emsc-csem.org...

Texas Montana Utah and Nevada as well Hmmm something to watch anyway

You know that earthquake swarms happen quite frequently, right? Often quite more swarmy than this one.

Any reason to think there is something particularly scary about this one? Other than your fascination with death and destruction by earthquake?

Show me a swarm in Cali with magnitudes above a 2.5 & up to a 4.0 in this amount in the past 30 days??
So you'll have to define "More Swarmy" because looking recently I simply can't find what your indicating.

Death and Destruction comes with the territory and is just a sad fact not a fascination..... well maybe sometimes lol.

What's so important about the past 30 days?

OK define "quite frequently" and take a look at the concentration in seems consolidated for that amount of quakes and location the swarms just south of there were a lot more spread out..

Once, twice a year or so.

and take a look at the concentration

Remember this one?

What's your point?

"You know that earthquake swarms happen quite frequently, right? Often quite more swarmy than this one.

This is the "once" that happens in your defined frequency - a semi annual event, not scary but unique & the year's almost out.

Do you think that earthquakes pay attention to the calendar?

Yes they do absolutely, except it's not our calendar they go by it's their own and we're not privy, it would ruin the surprise!

They do indeed, but I have been watching as I live on the coast for years many many years and I have not seen a swarm at each end like there has been. We had a recent swarm in a very unusual place on the Juan de fuca and then another at the far North on the end by canada and now this one. So for me I feel heads up is appropriate!

I think anyone living near the San Andreas fault should be in a constant state of "heads up."

Are you addressing the OP? If so what is it that you find wrong?

Uhhhh mostly the "grab your bug out bags and be ready" over 3.0 quakes........

You are 100% correct and we are totally prepared but I would have to say that at least 75% of my neighbors have 0=25% of what they need.

We have planned our setup around the possibility of providing for our neighbors and helping out

Tres Pinos-Pacines is at the junction of the San Andreas and a couple of minor side faults.
I go through there often, an old road goes across the coast range to Hollister and runs through the fault/canyon/ pass. It's one of the best moto twisties in central cal.
You can tell it's a fault zone, tilted and sheared rock beds hundreds of feet high.
It just found a local news report for the quakes, and they were centered exactly where I was just talking about above.

5:58 a.m.: 4.1 magnitude earthquake

6:01 a.m.: 3.2 magnitude earthquake

6:10 a.m.: 3.0 magnitude earthquake

6:22 a.m.: 3.6 magnitude earthquake

8:15 a.m.: 3.2 magnitude earthquake

8:27 a.m.: 3.6 magnitude earthquake

9:02 a.m.: 3.0 magnitude earthquake

9:19 a.m.: 3.4 magnitude earthquake

We have a fair number of quakes in cen cal, but this swarm is out of the ordinary.
That many quakes of such a consistent magnitude
and consistent pattern , there are two distinct pulses of smaller quakes, is odd.
The maps put the quakes under a rather large craggy set of peaks in the mountains that separate the San Benito and Salinas river valleys.
I bet those peaks just got a little taller.

Yeah, well life gets in the way doesn't it..

If the white man had asked the red indians what to do with california , they might well have said ... "just don't build a megalopolis on that flat part by the ocean "
