These swarms have been going on in just the past three weeks. Over 1,000! Never in my lifetime out here have we had this before. What Trump hasn't been able to do to California, I suppose the Lord will!
They say history repeats itself and Californians are notorious for ignoring history. An excerpt from the L.A. Times yesterday...
"At least three times in California's modern history, large earthquakes have occurred in the wake of smaller temblors:
Central and Southern California, 1857, magnitude 7.8: The last mega-earthquake in Southern California struck on Jan. 9, sending extreme shaking everywhere from Monterey County south to Los Angeles and San Bernardino counties. The main shock at 8:24 a.m. was preceded in the Monterey County area by a magnitude 5.6 earthquake, and a magnitude 6.1 earthquake the hour before that.
Northern California, 1989, magnitude 6.9: The earth was shaking in the months before the Oct. 17 earthquake in the Santa Cruz Mountains interrupted the World Series between the Oakland A's and San Francisco Giants a magnitude 5.4 quake two months earlier and a magnitude 5.3 in June 1988. Jones said many scientists believe those quakes not foreshocks, but something called "preshocks" were related somehow to the Loma Prieta earthquake that killed 63 people.
Southern California, 1992, Joshua Tree-Landers-Big Bear: Earthquakes following the magnitude 6.1 Joshua Tree temblor on April 22 strong enough to rock high-rise office buildings in downtown Los Angeles more than 100 miles away kept on migrating to the north. It began "the most substantial earthquake sequence to occur in California in the last 40 years," according to a study published in 1993 co-written by Hauksson and Jones. The Joshua Tree quake is believed to have triggered on June 28 the magnitude 7.3 Landers earthquake in the Mojave Desert, strong enough to send shaking to Denver; a few hours later, a magnitude 6.3 hit Big Bear.
We're planning on not being present here when these swarms reach their fruition!
