Earthquake in Los Angeles

Though only a small one -- at 3.4 on the richter scale -- I think it's interesting that we've seen two earthquakes near heavily populated pacific rim locales in the last few days:

and, as a side comment, now I can't get the Beatles song 'Bluejay Way' out of my head....

'There's a fog upon LA...'

this link has a map showing where the earthquake was centered (if I'm reading it right the epicenter was right next to the downtown area):
quake.wr.usgs.gov...

The earthquake was 1 mile deep and offshore from Manhatten Beach. No damage reported anywhere, no tsunamis, just a nice big rainstorm pushing the rain totals to the 2nd highest in recorded history.

Was too busy dodging some heavy thunderstorms (again :puz and beating the rush hour traffic during "our" latest 3 day rain/flood show to notice the 3.4. It was located off the coast I believe about 3 miles out to sea. Nonetheless, approximately 30 miles SW from downtown L.A. Definitely brewing something different this year. I can't recall an earthquake during a rain storm, incidentally I don't recall this many rain storms. So perhaps the latter is the most odd of the two.
