Thanks, for some reason that site isn’t refreshing for me. It was stuck on an hour ago.

Up north here on the upper end of the fault (Hayward branch), the map says there was a 2.1 in Berkeley maybe about 15 minutes ago. I didn't even notice it.

They went onto a new map...try the main link here.

Then click Glamis for the 27th since they go by UTC time.

When I was a kid....my dad and I fished out of RedHill Marina....I've walked all over Mullet Island.

Before I ever set foot on that island...supposedly there was a dancehall / bar there...Who knows what else?

I remember the old wooden pilings...that supposedly supported a bridge going over to the island...from the mainland. My dad got our boat stuck on a submerged piling...had a heck of a time getting off. Ha!!

Caught lot's of Corvina..and Sargo out of that strange lake. Lot's of memories.

FRegards,

Good point. It would probably run even slower were the state destroyed.

So...you think it is possible that this borehole might just have helped us capture a Mantle Plume seismic wave?

http://www.bssaonline.org/content/100/2/497.abstract

Given that this area is magma-rich and as you point out these were not strike/slip quakes as a result?

I am thinking so but really kinda cool either way.

What whiners. You all have enough sense to know it was a joke so man up and don’t act like a pack of howling liberals.

Yes I realize it all. Do you? It will be horrible now won’t it.

Babylon boys. If you live there get out. It is going to happen. Just a matter of time and we all know it.

Geological certainty is not hypocrisy or cruelty or superstition or anything other than choose to live where you do and take the consequences of those choices.

Flood plain of the Mississippi you will get flooded. Outer Banks of the Carolina’s, you will get washed away. New Orleans below sea level....buy waders.

CA will the quakes....don’t plan a long retirement there.

Yes millions will die. Don’t be one or them.

Upgraded to 5.1, but I wouldn't call that big.

I agree not that big. Sure like the big swings on the seismograph. not much damage done but a weird, frequent quake swarm.
