This one was so deep we felt tremors here in Brazil. Scared the sheesh out of people, since we don't usually have any tremors...

This just went up on LA Times...

Officials said the magnitude-5.3 earthquake that rattled Southern California on Thursday proved to be another successful test of the state's nascent earthquake early-warning system.

John Vidale, director of the Southern California Earthquake Center, said the system worked. He said he and others at the center at USC heard the alarm go off before they felt the shaking, "maybe 10 seconds ahead, enough for us to puzzle about it before the shaking hit."

"It was pretty widely felt across the USC campus. We only felt about 3 to 4 seconds, kind of a vibration, kind of long enough for it to sink in that it was an earthquake, before it stopped," Vidale said.

LATimes.com Earthquake early-warning system gave heads-up before 5.3 temblor hit L.A. area.

10 seconds is nothing to sneeze at. It is better than nothing. The earthquake can only travel so fast. So when one is detected, a cell phone calls ahead of the earthquake to warn one is coming because cell phone transmissions travel faster than the earthquake itself.

That is kind of cool! You may end up with up to a minute's warning which could save lives or at least make you stop and get off the elevator!

The Channel Islands Eagle Cam had a good shaking.

Schools are closed in Italy due to damage evaluation.

Not big magnitude but this one was not so deep...

I thought maybe someone on here would be interested in the Global Distribution of Hydrothermal Vent Fields
www.whoi.edu...

The U.S. Geological Survey website had thousands of reports of people feeling a magnitude-3.9 quake that struck at 9:39 a.m. Monday and was centered 9 miles (15 kilometers) northeast of San Jose.

...

The Geological Survey says a magnitude-3.8 temblor hit three minutes earlier 21 miles (34 kilometers) south of Bakersfield.

phys.org, April 12, 2018 - Minor earthquakes rattle Silicon Valley, California farmland.

Bakersfield and San Jose, that is a pretty decent wing span of 200 miles or so! (Weird, just got kicked off google! Sorry, no depth info. And a mystery to go investigate)

What kind of weird clouds...pics?

I doubt anyone will see anything in them shares anyhow, but my thoughts were what I said as I watched. They seemed to form in one spot the empty circle and just start streaming out the rest of the sky was blue and the clear spot in the middle out to sea.

Very interesting! There are a couple different pictures on the internet about earthquake clouds.. However, I actually got a Russian geologist to tell me that he only knows of one earthquake cloud anomaly and it has something to do with a circle... So very interesting!!
