Really strange place for an earthquake. Magnitude is consistent with an underground nuclear test. More at USGS site.

[Jet Jaguar]

Bump.

I missed it here.

North Pole, Alaska.

That is very surprising, you should ask the mods to remove the u from your spelling though.

50 KM NW of Lordsburg, NM would actually be in Arizona -- closer to Clifton, AZ than to Lordsburg.

Large copper mine in the vicinity. Therefore, explosives are a possibility.

Yep. Elephant Butte, NM

5.2 is not so big. Here in the Philippines we have had 7 of them that size this month alone.

Hate to say this but one of the quiet things going on in New Mexico is an enormous fracking effort. East part of the state. No idea if near there.

Woke me up in Silver City !
