Hi All. Over the past couple of months, which appears to have started in Oct. of 2005, there have been a number of small quakes occurring in the area of Littlerock, California.

Using the ANSS quake catalog I did a check on past quakes for the area using a 6Km radius from 34.451/-118.000 and didn’t really find anything that could compare with what is being seen now. Of course this could be due the lack of seismometers in the area when the catalog was first started.

What is interesting about these quakes is that they are occurring near the southern end of the 1857 quake and near the northern end of the Coachella Valley segment of the San Andreas fault which is the segment being looked at for the next great quake. Take Care…Don in creepy town
