How close to bottom red square is Brawley and/or swarms?

amazing how relatively shallows (around the same depth) these all are also.

Thankfully, this is on farmland (according to the satellite).

the last two

There is some kind of plate subduction going on. Indonesia just had 2 more big ones. Fuku had 2 bigger ones. Both poles had earthquakes. 4 in Greenland in past 24 hours.4 in Antartica in past 3 days at Mcmurdo Station.The buoy of Alaska has been in Event Mode all week with 20-50 meter differentials going on. Its getting real now. Its just a matter of time.

and another one just now

There is a Volcano strato field in that area. Its attached to the Mexican Baja/California Baja. Maybe a new Volcano becoming active...?

Side note:

These are just barely noticeable they need to be over 5 to really notice.

I think this event is over now.

Bottom center..base of the faultline

another one @ abc

3- 4+ mag in an hour!!! [link to earthquake.usgs.gov]

what the hell is going on over there?
This is becoming crazy!
They don't stop and are becoming stronger!

4.5 is pretty large at 11km depth.

Not really.
