    Hopefully a lot of relatively small quakes is better than one big one
    My thoughts are with you

    I just checked a couple of quake models and all the earthquakes are focused in the same area of california , almost a quake every minute for the last 30 minutes. the rest of the planet is quiet, earthquake 3-d model is off the chart 30 something quakes on top of each other. california is rocking.... the pacific rim is totally quiet , just the one point in california over 70 quakes in the last three hours. it ain't over they are still happening every three minutes. They had ten after shocks in the last 10 minutes since I wrote this.

    I live in east San Diego County and we just had a small earthquake about 5 minutes ago or could have been an after shock.
    Anza-Borrego Springs is a small fault line called the San Jose Fault.
    It's just west of Brawley.


    Love

    Nora

    I just found this on breakingnews.com:

    Quote L.A. NOW
    Southern California -- this just in

    Earthquake swarm damages buildings in downtown Brawley
    August 26, 2012 | 2:08 pm

    A handful of buildings in downtown Brawley had minor damage after an earthquake swarm rattled the area Sunday, officials said.

    Capt. Jesse Zendejas of the Brawley Fire Department described the damage as "cosmetic" and said it occurred in at least three buildings dating to the 1930s. Crews were still assessing other areas of the city, he said, but no injuries had been reported.

    Imperial County firefighters were also assisting in the survey.

    The first quake — a magnitude 3.8 temblor — occurred at 10:02 a.m. about three miles northwest of Brawley, and was followed by a series of other quakes in the same general area, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. The largest was a magnitude 5.3 -- downgraded from a 5.4 -- that struck just after 12:30 p.m., but the numbers may be revised.

    The USGS' "Do You Feel It" system shows the quakes were felt as far away as San Diego, Temecula and San Clemente. The 5.3 quake was also felt in Moreno Valley, Indio, National City and Palm Desert.

    Thomas Jordan, director of the USC-based Southern California Earthquake Center, called the activity a "very active swarm" — something not unusual for the southern edge of the San Andreas Fault, which has seen similar occurrences in recent years.

    This swarm could continue to rumble the region for a few days, Jordan added.

    "It's been pretty productive so far," he said. "It's a vigorous one. We got some pretty good-sized events."

    As data continued to roll in, Jordan said, scientists would study to swarm to learn how the sequence developed and what impact it could have on the fault.

    "We're always concerned where there is significant seismic activity because that means there is a higher probability of having more seismic activity," he said.

    Wow. Better than watching Sunday baseball games.

    Not funny, I know. Aside from the fact I haven't had a tv in years I did live in L.A. ( was born there, in fact ) and witnessed first hand the many ( including the 70's 'big one' ) 'shakers' which is one of the reasons I now live in the mountains of Colorado.

    The original link the OP posted is a good one to keep an eye on. It updates every few minutes and so far looks like an out of control freight train going down hill with no brakes.

    it's upticking again, 13 more aftershocks ! another 5.4 30 minutes ago. what is weird is the rest of the planet is virtually quiet. Looks like all the energy of the earth is focused in one spot.

    Thank you Caren. Wishing everyone stays safe too. There are several small faults and then the Southern San Andreas. So, there are a lot of tremblers and I feel them almost everyday. I've been in a few of the bigger quakes in Southern California. In one of them I was driving a van up the highway and it started jerking all over the place. I thought at first the van had lost its transmission. But after jumping over 2 lanes and sliding onto the shoulder of the road; shaking in park did I realize I had just driven through an earthquake.


    Love
