Maybe the rest of the country won't either.

TRUE.

Everyone relax......

I live here. You don't. I'm chillin.

Here they go,, they have downgraded this now to a 6.5

There was a 2.3 in Geysers California just prior to this one..

This is true. It is on the San Andreas, the fault runs out into the ocean here. Some maps don't display it but it does. This is right at the end of the fault.

It's pretty far south of the cascadia subduction zone.

Dibs on 5.9

Why do they feel the need to do this constantly? Ridiculous.

im calling this a the precursor to the 8.8 coming

This was a likely scenario given the increased seismic activity in this area for the past few days. There have been several M4.0+ quakes in the past couple of days.

Question now becomes whether this is still a harbinger to something bigger or if this is the mainshock.

Again, this is NOT the Cascadia megathrust line. This is the Mendocino Fracture Zone. Yes, they are connected - but stop the fear mongering over the Cascadia zone until there is more substantial evidence that this was related.

I agree.

Weak, don't pin anything unless 8+ please

It is the Southern end of the Juan de Fuca micro plate. A jolt this big on that plate could set off the whole thing. [link to www.colorado.edu]

Yeah - I mean that whole area is interconnected. So yes, something could trigger elsewhere - but the amount of "OMG CASCADIA" is unwarranted. Unfortunately, everyone here becomes seismic-tards when a quake goes off.

Nobody can say with 100% certainty that it won't cause something bigger - but the likelyhood of a Cascadia megathrust event is pretty low on any given day.

9.9

This is giving me a doom stiffy.

No, it's not really. The preliminary data is just that - a computer generated prelim. mag. A person needs to verify and estimate the true magnitude with all the incoming data.

I'm not saying that there isn't some tweeking going on, but not all of the changes are nefarious.

I've seen many prelim. mags upgraded too.

I only popped a wrinkle.

It was already warned about 7 days ago!

Thread: California will have an earthquake today.

Yes.

This isn't the San Andreas and it sure doesn't take pressure OFF of the San Andreas.

I think this increases the chances of a HUGE quake either in Cascadia or anywhere along the San Andreas in a big way.

I've been feeling something coming here in So Cal for a long time.

Actually, I kind of WANT it to happen and force some of these lefty libs from New York and back east OUT of my home state so they'll stop f'ing with our politics.

Take care, out there

may be prequake and possible false flag. Someone warned of a earthquake taking out the san francisco bridge.

I wonder if Trump will send them foreign aid when the big one hits.
