San Juan Bautista Quakes

Hi All. At first I thought that at least one of the quakes near SJB were associated with the Zayante-Vergeles fault, but that does not appear to be the case in that none of the quakes were west of SJB.

The appear to be associated with the San Andreas fault and are not to far from the 5.4Ml we had on 08/12/1998. We have had quakes of this magnitude in this area before, but not this many at one time. Not sure what this means, if indeed it means anything at all.

The better half only felt two of them and advised me they weren’t all that strong, or at least didn’t feel like it. The light we have hanging on a chain from the ceiling went around in circles. Kind of like what I do at times. Take Care…Don in creepy town
