What is nw trend? Inquiring minds want to know ;)
NW trend..
*****
I think the fault it was on runs northwest as do most / a lot of faults in CA.
Yesterday’s 6.4 triggered aftershocks on two different and intercepting fault zones. Yesterday’s activity initially fell along faults trending to the southwest towards ridgecrest. Aftershocks also started towards the northwest as well, though not as well defined. It is along this northwest fault trend that this 7.1 hit. Immediately afterwards a swarm of 3s and 4s started rocking even further to the nw (usgs calls them near little lake)
