Geysers - Skywise - 01-12-2014
M4.5 and vigorous aftershocks in the Geysers area of northern California.
The area is a geothermal field with electric generation plants, thus injection wells. I've heard rumblings of controversy over injection induced seismicity. I'm sure this is going to take those rumblings up a notch.
