Did you guys see that 4.6 just south and east of New Orleans???
I've been following Quakes for a decade or so and I've never seen one there... A little disturbing to say the least.
Perhaps some good old-fashioned Doom coming on

Interesting, I haven't seen one there before either. I am just glad others are watching if anything starts up someone will notice I think.

Not the first time in the area, I can vouch for that much! September 10, 2006 had a 6.0 in the Gulf of Mexico. Talk about lighting the proverbial fire under Floridians' butts, people were talking about it for a long time afterward.
Heck, I still remember it like yesterday, I spent the entire time everything rattled & danced around with crossed fingers, hoping nothing broke.
I can't find it on the USGS site, but web archive has it here:
Edit: Dang it, this doesn't want to work for me. Breaking it up into chunks instead.
web.archive.org...
earthquake.usgs.gov...
C & P Web Archive's link, then C & P the USGS one right after it as a continuation.
There have been 'quakes out in the Gulf, they're just not very frequent. When they happen, they tend to get attention, especially if they're biggies
This marks the second time in little more than a month that the region has been hit by a small quake felt over a large area. On April 5, a magnitude 5.3 quake centered in the Channel Islands off Santa Barbara County rattled nerves.
Tuesday's earthquake occurred along a section of the San Andreas fault zone known for having smaller earthquakes as well as larger ones, said Caltech seismologist Egill Hauksson. It's known as the "San Gorgonio knot," named because there are so many small faults that intersect there as the San Andreas fault bends from a northwest-southeast direction to an east-west orientation.
SAN FRANCISCO (CBS/AP/BCN) — A preliminary 3.5 magnitude earthquake was reported in Oakland Monday evening.
The quake hit at 7:18 p.m., according to the U.S. Geological Survey and was initially rated at 3.8, later downgraded to 3.6. East Bay Quake Map BART officials reported that all trains in the system were stopped for 10 minutes due to a “seismic event” while crews inspected tracks for damage.
Social media users in Oakland, Berkeley, Alameda and surrounding cities reported feeling the earthquake.
