This is a rather unexpected reactivation of the Coso Junction swarm
which occurred last month. The last event in this region with
Ml>3 occurred on July 31. The area has been relatively quiet
throughout the month of August.

Don's predicted epicenter was within the 40 km range set (37 km
from the mainshock), and the event occurred within the time window and
magnitude range of Don's prediction. As such all parameters were
accurately predicted.

Score a grade A for Don on this one, Petra and don't forget to
add some desert to that chicken dinner. By the way, whenever
that happens we would like all the juicy details.
