Earthquakes
We have had 3 earthquakes in my area app 8 miles away, 12-20 @3.7, 12-22 3.7 and this morning 12-23 @3.5.
TigerDan; almost the same quake this morning up your area, a micro quake @ 1.3. Your also in an active area.
Seems like California is wanting to break away from the country to become an island with Hawaii.

San Francisco bay area, across the bay east side on the island of Alameda.
The last 3 quakes have been from the same spot, 2 miles ESE of Berkeley (Peoples Republic). and 6 miles down.

I used to live at the top of Dwight Ave in Berzerkeley, and the Hayward Fault ran across our front yard. I lived in the 3rd floor observation room of an old victorian house, and boy did that old girl creak and groan whenever the ground twitched, sometimes from the cold contracting the earth. Great view of the Bay, the Gate and out to the Farallons though.
Lessee, 2 miles east puts it over by Lafayette, right? Seems to me I recall there's some old extinct volcanoes over in those hills...
The Hayward fault is the one they think is gonna go off in a big way soon, 7-8 on the richter scale. Those 3.7's are just mother earth's way of reminding you to store some batteries, food and water...and ammo. I don't want to think of the kind of refugees that will be coming out of the East Bay after a big one.
Have the USGS guys decided yet if those tremors are more buildup, or taking stress off the fault?

I'll take a bunch of little quakes than the big whopper any day.
Now what's wrong with the "Peoples Republic"?
I enjoyed working construction at the campus, a free freak show every day.
Autoglass your up late, waiting for Santa with your shotgun?

When the BIG 1 hits, your Governor will say his famous words of wisdom,,,
"I'LL BE BACK!!!"
As a friend of mine calls California,
The land of fruits and nuts,,, And we aint talking Agriculture!
The famous question has been, Where were you when the attacks went down,
Oklahoma City, I was at 29 STUMPS delivering an M1A Abrahms.

The "Terminator" is in Sun Valley Colorado.
Jusy heard on the radio he broke his leg, ha ha,
too bad it wasn't his neck.
He cut off disabilty for people like me, I was
awarded lifetime treatments 19 years ago.
When did a permanent injury become a temporary one?
Tell my back.

Heard about them earthquakes in the Bay Area.
Hear they're pretty scary; especially when they hit anything above 6.0.
Glad I live in an earthquake free zone.
As for Arnold............................................ ......never mind.

quakes
Once a month, the San Gabriel Valley Tribune publishes a map from the USGS with the number and location of CA quakes. Average number is 25-30 and most are 3 and below. Parkfield area is the most active.

Hey in about 10,000 years you will have a LA/Oakland and SF will be an island as the Pacific Plate is moving to the north. Also Please do no let the water into Arizona, because we know what happens in a bowl.
