Very interesting stuff. What fascinates me by this whole process is the comment where you said this might be just normal long term. That is very true, OR, things are starting to move. Obviously its anyones guess. I've said this before, I'm sure after a thousand years in the future, the data they will have w/ just the current instrumentation in place will paint a good picture if indeed these mini swarms are normal or indeed always lead to something else.

Also, when you say Santa Monica Mountains, the area you indicated is offically the Santa Monica Mountains? I was under impression that range that cuts LA in 1/2 (between the Valley and the basin) is the Santa Monica Mountains as well. Is this correct? Is this geologic presence in the middle of LA a result of thrust uplift as well?
