I have attempted to find Historical precendence for such an enormous amount of quakes in this small area in the British VIrgin Islands...and I can't find any.
Unlike the Brawley Quake swarm where similar swarms have occurred in the last century I cant find any record of a swarm at the British Virgin Islands.
And this is one hell of a swarm...the following image shows the spread of the quakes in the last 30 days ( and there are 993 quakes pictured on the map...but most on one on top of the other...)

The following image shows the topography and location of the same area...

What could this mean....a sign of great stress building up in this region?

That is an enormous amount of earthquakes for such a small area..and there have been several more in the last few hours since I made that map too....

I was under the impression that it is too close to the subduction zone to be volcanic...so why all the on-going quakes?
