Wow we haven't had a decent quake out here in awhile. Too bad it was far enough away I couldn't feel it in Vancouver WA.

Is their really a fault line in OK. ?

Lots of quakes in California today - including a 4.1 in Los Angeles area - just now three within 45 mins tracking south to north with south Cali (3.5), central Cali (3.0) and then northern Cali (2.5)

This is the 2nd quake in oregon thats above a 3 in the past few days.

I know California shakes all the time... but is it me or has there been a big uplift in 2.5+ events in the last few days??

Another 4.1 today.. and lots of quakes in succession from north to south...

A funny little flurry (doesn't yet qualify as a swarm) in NY State yesterday:

I can't find any information to indicate that this particular part of NY state is terribly geologically active, although NY State in general has historically had some significant quakes, the largest being a 5.8 in 1944. (Though that was nearly 5 hours away from this particular flurry of quakes)

There are caverns in the area, it's possible it's just settling but interesting to see so many in rapid sequence.

Yea, I just saw that. I hope it wasn't something other than an earthquake.

Nuke test?


Lets hope not.

6.7 would be a big nuke so I doubt that. Probably a rare quake on a localized, normally-inactive fault.

Now let's see how the west coast react's to it, now that plate's have shifted a bit....
