M3.0 Corona - same LAT as Hemet? - Skywise - 05-06-2015
OK. I'm much closer to this one. MMI-3 for me only 4.5 miles away. Quite a thump.

The interesting thing is, the latitudes of this quake and the earlier one in Hemet are exact to 5 decimal places. From the GoogleEarth KML file:
Hemet: 33.811668N
Corona: 33.811667N
Maybe I should put those numbers on a lottery ticket?

Replying to myself here, but not only has the newer quake moved a bit from it's first solutions, but I've also realized why they appeared to be at the same latitude - the resolution of the automated solution. I recall when I was making my own maps plotting quakes that if I zoomed in far enough, the epicenters all broke up into a gridded pattern. Unless I was using a relocated database such as Hauksson. So the latitudes were probably close enough at first to 'snap' to the same granular line.
