Last week, the Los Angeles Times reported that “two sets of earthquake swarms” just hit California. It turns out that these swarms, together with some in nearby Nevada, produced an astounding 1,000 earthquakes between the two states in a single week.
“To me, whenever that number goes about 1,000, we are officially in the danger zone,” commented Michael from End of the American Dream (EAD). “Hopefully there will not be a very large earthquake in California any time soon, but when there is this much shaking going on we should all be on alert.”
The largest of the 1,000 was not all that large: a 4.1 magnitude quake that rattled Imperial County, located near the Salton Sea. The epicenter was 18 miles south of Salton City and four miles southeast of Ocotillo Wells, occurring at 5:17 a.m. on May 22.
Residents as far as Chula Vista near San Diego, Mission Viejo in Orange County, and Highland and Indio in other surrounding areas reported feeling the quake.
Before that one, there were two other “earthquake swarms” that reportedly alarmed scientists. These occurred along the California-Mexico border.
The U.S. Geological Survey reported that more than two dozen quakes with a magnitude of greater than 2.5 hit the region just after midnight last Saturday. The general area of their epicenters is 175 miles southeast of downtown Los Angeles and 100 miles northeast of San Diego.
“They have occurred largely along farmland between the towns of Brawley and Imperial in Imperial County,” it was reported. “The largest quake was a magnitude 3.9 that struck at 4:05 p.m. Saturday, bringing light shaking to the Imperial Valley as well as south of the border and rattling Mexicali.”
