Hi Canie!!! Awesome!! I envy you in being able to stand where a new part of seismic history is being made and God works in strange ways!! I believe that this quake was God's way of waking up the USGS not to ever underestimate the power of any fault, be it large or small and that all are very capabe of producing catastrophic events. By God's Grace, this one was out in the desert for all to study and only 1 life was lost to an elderly who died from a heart attack. But...can you imagine if this type of quake had happened under LA!! And yes, that possibility still exists for all of us. Be it there or up here in the Bay Area. But, I honestly believe that this quake "is different" from the rest that have occurred. The answers will be coming for a long time. Again, Canie, thank you for bringing an event into my home to look at! Dyan :-)
