California always has all those little boxes. Constant movement of the earth, even the 1.0 quakes are measured there. There was a 4.4 or something earlier today which will generate aftershocks.
So nothing out of the ordinary.
The first and for a long time the biggest earthquake I was in was here in WI. Back in 72 I think. ( give or take a year)
Most of the ones when I was in Japan & CA. were small ones or different. Until the Loma Prieta That one was Bigger!
What's with the tremor over there on the Mississippi? Isn't there another fault in the Midwest?
Er, I live in fly over country and we don't normally have earthquakes so I need to ask: is there really such a thing as foreshock???
Having left California in September I can say that I don't miss those shakers one bit.
I went through quite a few quakes and I never got used to them.
Take care.
