Earthquake Swarm Continues in Redlands [Updated]

Earthquake Swarm Continues in Redlands [Updated]

It's been nearly a week of shaky ground out in the San Bernardino County city of Redlands. Since Wednesday, when we counted around 75 small quakes since the previous Saturday, there's been around 40 more quakes of varying, but inconsequential sizes, including a few over 3.0, which the USGS takes slightly more seriously on their listings by marking them in a bolded red. A 11:53 a.m. there was a light 3.4 earthquake, followed by a 3.3 a minute later. Then at 11:57, another 3.3, among a handful of other microquakes. Update: Apparently, there was a 3.6 quake at 11:56 a.m. that went unreported on USGS' site until 12:45 p.m. more ›

Quake Swarm in Redlands Continues

Around 75 small earthquakes have struck the Redlands area since last Saturday, when a light 4.1 earthquake shook the area. Today, the quakes continued with a 3.5 magnitude shaker at 1:35 p.m. More locally, a 2.0 quake also struck the Malibu area at 7:30 a.m. this morning.

Another Earthquake Swarm? Yes, this Time in Inyo County

Remember the hundreds of small quakes shaking the Salton Sea back in April? After a 5.1 shaker early this morning, dozens of smaller earthquakes have shook the small town of Keeler, which is about 148 miles from Las Vegas. Considering all the recent major earthquakes (and tsunamis) in American Samoa, Indonesia and Peru, are these related to each other? National Public Radio's Morning Edition ask that question this morning, interviewing scientists: more ›

That Salton Sea Earthquake Swarm is Not Over

That Salton Sea Earthquake Swarm is Not Over

In the past 24 hours, thirteen mircroquakes and one minor quake have struck the Salton Sea area where over 400 little quakes have shook the ground in the last month. That minor one, a 3.5 magnitude shaker, happened yesterday afternoon around 3 p.m. Athough, the number of quakes have calmed, "Seismologist Kate Hutton of the California Institute of Technology said it will take a fair amount of quiet time before scientists can declare the swarm over," reported the Press Telegram in Long Beach. more ›
