LOTS of Small California Shakers As New Moon Window is Ending

There were a lot of small earthquakes that struck in and around California during the night including the biggest that rang my phone right at midnight as I was dozing off to sleep. The 4.0 that struck just a few miles Offshore from Northern California at Ferndale already had a page and a half of felt reports before I logged back on to see how serious it was! Here is the now Updated Felt Report with 17 from Ferndale and 34 from Fortuna:

Here is all the rest of the earthquakes that shook California through the night starting with Ferndale and reading up. I removed many, many that came in under like a 1.7 or 1.8 but some of those might still have been big in their region, just too many for the list:

3.9 26km NW of Gabbs, Nevada 2014-01-02 06:04:50
1.9 11km SW of Morongo Valley, California 2014-01-02 05:09:24
2.1 129km WSW of Gold Beach, Oregon 2014-01-02 05:05:39
3.3 1km NE of The Geysers, California 2014-01-02 03:32:27
2.0 9km NW of The Geysers, California 2014-01-02 03:23:05
2.5 6km NW of The Geysers, California 2014-01-02 02:23:12

4.0 35km SSW of Ferndale, California 2014-01-02 00:23:09

There was also a 4.5 that struck Iran at just after 8pm my time and when I checked out the epicenter on the map I discovered these towers near the shore of the Straight there that looks identical to Wisconsin Dells!!!!! Except these are still in the geological process of BEING FORMED:

So. . . were all those ones that now adorn our deserts actually FORMED by tsunami's and shoreline erosion back in the day???

There will continue to be some earthquake energy lingering out there yet with the Malibu O.P running like another week, yet. I will update all that in coming EQ Blogs! Thank-You Again for Reading!!! EQ Guy
