That may be the San Jacinto....

San Andrus is further North....

This is a different falt than the one that had a 7+ down by mexicali....things may be tripping loose...

[Parley Baer]

Yes, it is a different fault. The San Andreas is on the East side of the Salton Sea. The earthquakes are moving North though. I felt it here Cypress but it was not that bad.

That may be the San Jacinto....

"Caltech Seismic Analyst Anthony Guarino said preliminary information indicates that the quake was on the San Jacinto fault, one of two that was stressed by the 7.2-magnitude quake near the U.S.-Mexico border on Easter."

Yeah, looks like the Northern portion of the Coyote Creek Fault, which is a southern extension of the San Jacinto fault zone.

The southern half ruptured in a Mw 6.5 quake in 1968.

It’s capable of generating Mw 6.5-7.5 quakes.

San Jacinto fault, they are saying. 5.4.

I am on a earthquake forum and we are discussing the fault.
It is either on the Coyote Creek or San Jacinto.
