Hi All. I have restocked my larder with raw onions, garlic and Corona Beer so I should be set for at least until the end of the month.

However at the same time I found myself with a data overload. This presented a problem of to many choices so instead of trying to make the choices myself I thought I would just let matters take care of themselves.

I have 3 probable locations. The problem is that one or all could occur and they also overlap.

The first one is a 2.5-3.5Ml at 37.1N/122.3W. This is about 20Km SSW of Boulder Creek, California, or just off the coast of California and should occur on 09/28/2001. Window opens on 09/26/2001 and will close on 10/01/2001.

The second one is a 2.5-4.0Ml at 37.0N122.2W. This is about 8Km NW of Santa Cruz, California, or just off the coast of California and should occur on 09/30/2001. The window opens on 09/28/2001 and will close on 10/03/2001.

The third one is a 2.5-3.5Ml at 37.1N/122.1W. This is about 3Km NW of Ben Lomond, California and should occur on 09/30/2001. The widow opens on 09/28/2001 and will close on 10/03/2001. The radius on all quakes is 40Km.

The first two quakes are associated with the San Gregorio Fault. The quake near Ben Lomond may be associated with the Ben Lomond fault, or the Zayante-Vergeles fault. The Ben Lomond fault is listed as inactive. The Zayante-Vergeles has shown activity in the San Juan Bautista area for the last couple of years. There is another fault in the area and this is the Butano fault, but this one looks like it may be to far to the NE of Ben Lomond to be a associated fault. Take Care…Don in creepy town
