Glen, I would be tempted, but I'm in Missouri, not Santa Barbara, and I spent too much time working on Antarctic stuff and so am way behind on California work. I do need to get in the field and look at rocks/faults once in a while. I need to email someone and decide whether to go to Santa Cruz Island for the last daytime negative tides until fall in mid April. We need negative tides to get to some fault outcrops along the forbidding SE coast: the only way to get to the south branch of the Santa Cruz Island fault is with ropes, or by water...there are surfboards to borrow and I would paddle over, but in September the tides and the surf were both too high and the waves were breaking right into the cliffs. The other way, to the east, there is no clear way off of the beach for a couple km...at which point you can get off the beach, but only by climbing a 40 deg slope about 400+ vertical meters...and it is brushy.

There was some discussion of time of day round about the time of Northridge...that they might be at sunrise/sunset, but I don't think that holds up with statistics. In urban areas, microquakes might be better detected at quiet times like 3 AM..
