Looking at the USGS earthquake site it says that 12 minutes after the 7.7 quake hit, another 6.7 aftershock hit. Then over the next 13 minutes 4.8, 4.9 and 4.9 aftershocks hit. That had to be wicked scary.
And in the last 6 days there have been 5 quakes worldwide over 6.0 (the 2 listed above count in that).
2 more over 6.0 in the last 2 days. One in Japan today and one on the Pacific-Antarctic Ridge.
When you consider that one and the one on the central Mid-Atlantic Ridge they are happening all over the place in semi-unusual places. Yikes.

Yesterday a 6.9 quake in the northern Atlantic. The one that was in the central Mid-Atlantic Ridge was what looks like south of the equator while this one looks to be on the line between the eastern most part of New Foundland and the British Ilse.
I think this link with give you "Significant Worldwide quakes in the last 30 days. Though it lists a 3 in Cali that were only 3.9-4.0. The rest were all over 6.0 but I’m not sure it is all of the ones over 6.0.

So is a 5.2 in San Diego just nothing to even mention?
I have a coworker in Carlsbad, she messaged me. She was like, might have to pick up my kids from daycare, not sure what protocol is. But she has lived there a long time and is used to them. Wild.
I guess I grew up in Kansas and I’m pretty much used to tornadoes.
Pretty amazing the video of the elephants forming a circle to protect the youngest during the quake

I didn’t hear about it, though my wife got a warning text.
Maybe mine was off, or i was away from my phone.
