The variety of temblors which have hit the SoCal area this yr is troubling.
Southern California was struck by a magnitude 4.0 earthquake on Saturday morning.
Final week seismologist Dr. Lucy Jones weighed in on the newest quakes to strike Southern California.
Immediately we’re having a small swarm within the Fontana Seismicity Lineation, a northeast-striking line of many small quakes. Immediately we’ve got to date M3.9, M3.5 and lots of M1s and M2s. I’ve seen this tyoe of cluster in Fontana dozens of occasions in my a long time watching SoCal quakes.

I used to be going to argue concerning the most magnitude remark, certain that I remembered larger ones up to now. However I searched the catalog and the biggest quake of the final 90 years is similar M3.9 in 1953 https://t.co/IkzsjRBj82
