Hi Chris. I think were going to have to wait until this current swarms ends before we see any of the new postings in the catalog. I prefer to use the catalog instead of the ones posted on the map. I’m fairly sure they are accurate although not always.

I did try to match them up with the M>7.3 that occurred in the area a couple of weeks ago and I feel they are to far removed to be any connection.

The curious thing about these quake is that the M>6.1 quake is almost a pure thrust, but the others are a combination of strike-slip and strike-slip with normal to down slip faulting. Take Care…Don in creepy town
