3. 5.0 at 6 miles deep near Guadalupe Victoria, Mexico
SSE of Mexicali. There was a huge swarm of earthquakes last week on the 13th. This is just a continuation of that swarm.

It extends up past the Salton Sea through Imperial County.

8. his new one makes 7 recorded ones since Feb 9th. Hope the little shakers are
easing the tension on the potential big one. We are long overdue for that, too.

9. I was feeling anxious because it was too quiet
a couple of weeks ago.

don't know if the Baja reduces or increases strain in the bay area.

10. NYC - There was a minor one in the Central Valley a couple of
days ago. The Algodones fault in our border area is an extension of the San Andreas fault, if that means anything oo you. Somehow, they are all connected and that does not give one a very secure feeling.

11. Hayward and Calaveras are my local fault lines
I don't really understand what happens when a neighboring fault has a big earthquake...

12. From what I remember from geology, there are 2 types of quakes -
the vertical and horizontal. I can't remember which ones are the worst -or if it makes any difference once you get past 7 on the Rickter scale.
