"Today's swarm is not close enough to the San Andreas fault to raise concern."

Oh yeah? Well there's plenty of other earthquake faults in California besides the San Andreas that can "raise concern", lady.

I’ve been listening to this odd swarm for a a few days now.

From the www.usgs.gov map

https://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/map/?extent=31.59797,242.14398&extent=34.81449,245.62116&range=month&magnitude=all&listOnlyShown=true&timeZone=utc&settings=true

(Zoom in to Southern California, select Settings from the lower left corner to bring upa bar with variable magnitude earthquakes and variable date selection criteria for more “fun” )

I’m disagreeing with this self-selected “expert” in that the USGS site shows the San Andreas Fault going right through this swarm at the south tip of the Salton Sea. Of the recent 1200 earthquakes in the nearby 100 miles region, more than 60% have occurred in the last 3 days (Most, of course, less than Mag 2.5. But still, that’s a large increase in a little area. More like a very focused spot less than 10 miles across - almost like a volcanic magma intrusion (future eruption) than a fault line slip.
