In b4 global warming, fracking or burying nuclear waste are cited as the cause...
Well, there’s no evidence to support an earth that old, nor is it even feasible, but beyond that yes, just put a head out the window and look heh.
I don’t know what all these minor earthquakes mean, but I can say it’s nothing man is doing.
Nature’s version of fracking. Epithermal ore deposits like the Carlin trend were deposited by gold bearing very hot water forcing itself up. It’s kind of neat.
Have you heard about this?
I apologize. Four months ago we were driving through N. Nevada and I farted.
Damn beer and kimchee...

“All the Nuclear testing coming home to roost or maybe it was always like this”
It is a little known fact that the Indians were working on a nuclear bomb program. Alas, the eviiil HonkeyPersons genocided them before the Indigenous Persons InterTribal Scientific Consortium For ‘Nucular Defense’ could achieve fission, much less concentrate enough uranium for a bomb.
Being loving/caring protectors of the Earth, they always buried all failed experiments. Like another tribe would do in the Urals centuries later, this tribe regretably dumped once too often.
The glowing waste was traveling so fast that when it hit the previous waste materials, critical mass WAS achieved.
Evil Spirit boiled out of rock wigwam. Give all in area bad rash, turn all deep red, then all go see Great Spirit.
And now you know the dangers of not disposing of wastes according to the Wise Spirits in EPA wigwam.
LOL! Beer and kimchee? That’s just nasty. I thought it was just a sulfur burp from one of the hot springs. Now, N Kehoe, we know.
COOL!!! Possibly LA and San Fran will break away from the US and disappear into the ocean!!! Folks in Yuma will have Beachfront Property!!!
I wonder, could all those ‘tests’ of atomic and hydrogen thumpers in the forties and fifties and sixties and seventies have perhaps created weak points in the crust which can now energize volcanological events?
Earthquakes happen frequently in the Greater Bay Area, in MOST of California. Always have; always will.
When I feel a rumble I pause:
over loaded truck passing by?
oh...earthquake.
Then I continue with what I was doing.
The gigantic San Andreas fault is about four hours+ south and east of the Bay Area. That's not too far away for the rumbles to travel.
One weighs the advantages of where to live. Earthquakes are ALWAYS a fruitful topic of conversation: Did you feel the earthquake? I was gardening and WHOA, did I rock and roll! That WOULD be for a whole 5 seconds. The REALLY big ones last longer. The longer the worse.
*Midwest? Hurricanes/tornadoes/twisters, predictable and one can SEE them a-comin'. Yikes. I've often heard that the Midwest weather is much like Siberia.
Yes, I know. Folks are so friendly and everyone knows each other. That DOES have both advantages and disadvantages.
**South? Wet, wet, wet, but not that cold. Wet is bad for the hair but GREAT for the skin. I wonder if the world considers TEXAS as part of the South. The Texans don't. :o) They believe in their own uniqueness and I must say that they are correct.
***North? Makes vacations in Florida SO much better and I DON'T believe them when they say that they love the snow even one week past Christmas. Those folks from N.D. just come out west to live.
****Northwest? Wet, wet, wet, cool, cool, cool and green, green, green .
*****Southwest? Dry, dry, dry, warm, warm, warm and brown, brown, brown. WHO CARES about the cost of water when it's so nice and WARM?
******West, DUE west, that is, California? Perfect weather most of the time but way, way, way too many people.
And those darn earthquakes, taxes, fog, freeway congestion, taxes, out-of-state folks, high rents, fog, taxes, unbelievably high rents and home/property costs, wacky Hollyweirdos, taxes, fog, Da Governator Arnold Schwarzenegger, PeLOSTsi, nonFeinstein, taxes and, last but not least, fog, all up and down the coast from Washington to San Diego.
The fog takes longer to burn off the farther north one goes.
NO mosquitoes in the City by the Bay. NO self-respecting mosquito would live in such a COLD climate. Mark Twain did say that the coldest winter he ever experienced was a "summer in San Francisco." Brrr.
And PLEASE, gainsayers, try very hard to mention the mosquito that bit you when you were in the Bay Area five years ago.
Beowolf9, please forgive the LENGTH. I just got carried away!
You beat me to it.
Quakes are very shallow in an area known for volcanos.
We might be looking at a new birth.
Mt. LOOKOUTBELOW?
Hmmmm, maybe the movie “Tremors” is getting ready to happen for real.
The Underminer is getting closer every day and still the Incredibles are no where to be found!

Something noteworthy: In 2012, Nevada Geothermal Power began drilling wells for a 30-megawatt geothermal power plant near Lakeview. While the earthquake swarm is 50 miles SE of Lakeview, it is likely in the same geothermal area, which might go as far south as the magnificent fly geysers.

I don’t know if there’s any connection, but a similar earthquake swarm has been shaking things up in the Mammoth Lakes area, more than 300 miles south of where this is occurring in northwest Nevada.
