Hi Don,

Your 1.6 is right in Jim Berklands neighborhood and the 1.7 that arrived this morning in El Verano is a little area just north of Sonoma. If my ears are still working then there should be one more very similar to this one. Years ago Mary/Maya told me about an usual ear tone that sounded like running a wet finger around the edge of a wine glass. I couldn't imagine what that would sound like until I heard it for myself. It was the signature sound of the Pinnacles. And as you know yesterday morning I heard the same sound over here, twice. That's a first for my area. As this whole place is volcanic I had no idea where to look, except close for a 1/4 second right ear tone. Now I know what El Verano sounds like. That's cool.

But does all of this micro-quake activity mean the Rodgers Creek Fault is moving closer to a larger event? I don't think we'll know until it happens.

Good Luck Cowboy....Petra
