Microquake Report
One small 1.4 magnitude aftershock hit the Loma Linda area after yesterday's 4.0 shaker, but the Earth pretty much stood still in Southern California for the last 24 hours. Two other 1.4 quakes were reported near Fontana and Murrieta Hot Springs and a very minor 0.6 near Littlerock (East of Palmdale). The recent heat wave is a good reminder for earthquake preparation. What if "The Big One" hit in the middle of that? Would you be prepared?

Ok I'm all for earthquake preparedness. I have taken the LAFD's CERT class, my wife and I have a disaster plan in place, full pack of supplies and everything in our loft is strapped down.
But are you seriously reporting on magnitude 1 earthquakes? Seriously? Have you taken a look at the USGS site and seen how often they happen? Every single day for that last million years.

Yups, everyday you'll get a microblog microquake report with a preparedness tip or a small bit of preparedness news. Not enough people think about it and it's all too often that I hear people think their Brita filter is suffice for their earthquake preparation.

Ok I see what you're doing here. Good deal. =]
