Normally I pipe in on these with the nothing to see here.

This time around there is an unusual component to this in that the line of apparent aftershocks is trending NE-SW which is 90 degrees to the regional trend of NNW-SSE. I initially though this could represent the development of a strike-slip system, however, all the moment tensors indicate normal faulting.

This will keep the seismologists at the UNR and USGS scratching their heads for a while.

where there were quakes on a grid—at most of—at least half of the intersecting points on a grid???

FAIT ZONG QI GUAI—MOST STRANGE.
