Has Strat showed up yet to tell us there is no possible way shaking here could be related to shaking in Malaysia?
ROFL! Hey you’re up early. How’s Mt. St. Helens? And how’ve you been?
Indonesia, not Malaysia.
There are approximately 20-30 earthquakes per day on the earth as big or bigger than this one in California. Any day you have a M7+ quake in the world, you're going to randomly have a bunch of 4.5 or so unrelatedquakes in other places in the world.
I'ts not that there's NO WAY they're related, it's just very unlikely because you don't need an exotic explanation for a 4.5 in California.
