Hi All,

Of the "places to watch" today's Simmler, CA location I think should be placed at the top of the list. You've often heard Don talk about my "deep, dark & ugly" ear tone and this is the location from whence I believe it came.

Here's a NEIC catalog search for an area within 40km of today's quake. You'll note the 7.9 in 1857 and that there were no quakes in the catalog since 1973. .....Petra
