Don´t you think that there is an increase of seismic activity in California?
The quake that rippled through the Bay Area and frayed some nerves Thursday night -- one of a bunch of recent shakes in the country's shakiest region -- doesn't portend the Big One.
So, put mass hysteria on hold, at least for a while. The 4.2 magnitude temblor, which struck at 8:40 p.m. about a mile northeast of downtown Lafayette, was felt to the coast, north past Santa Rosa and as far south as Hollister and as far east as Sacramento, say geological experts. And a few people said it put a good scare into them.
