There was 3 quakes I personally felt today, one in the morning around 9am, the next in the afternoon, then one just at 8:27. We're moving and shaking quite a bit over here these days. Below I have linked articles about some of the other earthquake swarms that have happened this month.

I wonder if this has anything to do with the earth changes many theorize are being induced by the sun & our position in the galaxy due to outside energy.

Updating the USGS site it now says there where two quakes, a minute apart from each other, one 3.9 and the other 4.0.
