Another 3.0 in Utah just now. Sure is active this week in the Southwest. It started on the new moon, but it hasn't stopped. Every 1/4 hour another spot appears on the USGS chart.

Very active indeed.

I'd be cautious about drawing conclusions based on staring at real-time earthquake maps a lot....

The reality is there's ALWAYS more activity than people realize, but when people that don't normally spend a lot of time looking at the maps suddenly start doing so, it SEEMS like there's a lot of activity, when it's actually more or less normal.

And the human mind is trained to see patterns, even when none exists, so any lines or directions or anything that SEEM apparent don't necessarily have any real meaning.

And a 6.5 such as the San Simeon one is ALWAYS going to generate a lot of aftershocks, possibly lasting for months.
