UPDATE: Phone rang early today with a 3.9 at Lakeview Just North of Reno, Nevada and has had like 8 big aftershocks since the 3.9 at 5:46am Pacific Time! WATCH For More, There!!! NOW Todays EQ Blog:
In the process of gathering all the usual information for todays EQ Blog, I just happened to notice a lot of dots on the map around Oklahoma. Not all that unusual due to naturally there probably being one or two in that region except when I closed in on it with the zoom, it continued to be a huge list! Still thinking it probably was just slow catching up and so I waited a moment and glanced at the list while I waited the few seconds it might take to update the list as I zoomed-in. Well, that was when I began to get the feeling that this WAS the list. . . and here is what I saw:
2.5 12km WNW of Medford, Oklahoma 2014-09-30 22:49:10
2.8 14km WNW of Medford, Oklahoma 2014-09-30 20:30:50
3.0 11km WNW of Parsons, Kansas 2014-09-30 19:33:28
3.0 7km NNW of Spencer, Oklahoma 2014-09-30 17:12:10
2.6 12km SSE of Perry, Oklahoma 2014-09-30 14:34:22
2.9 7km SE of Harper, Kansas 2014-09-30 13:49:52
2.6 11km N of Yale, Oklahoma 2014-09-30 11:29:02
3.1 8km ESE of Harper, Kansas 2014-09-30 10:24:31
3.8 8km SE of Harper, Kansas 2014-09-30 09:55:04
2.6 9km NNE of Perry, Oklahoma 2014-09-30 09:43:16
3.3 10km ESE of Harper, Kansas 2014-09-30 07:30:26
3.5 24km WSW of Perry, Oklahoma 2014-09-30 01:06:01
3.3 25km WSW of Perry, Oklahoma 2014-09-30 00:58:46
Absent the two big 4 Magnitude earthquakes of yesterday, I started to wonder what is the reason this was also a story yesterday? Simply put, why is Oklahoma getting so many earthquakes in the last 24 hours that was 13!!! The 24 hours before that was a lot, too, but included two in the 4 Range! These must be shaking that state very dramatically and I can only guess it to mean a huge earthquake is imminent, but how soon and how big is big in Oklahoma? Felt reports from the various earthquakes have come in yesterday from Joplin, Tulsa, Oklahoma City, and many from Kansas! Reviewing yesterdays 4.1 and I find Kansas City, Missouri and Wichita to add to the list of places where they are feeling these earthquakes.
Meanwhile there continue to also be a lot of earthquakes involved in the Mammoth Lakes Swarm at Northern California and I was going to write that 20 seemed like a lot of earthquakes for California, but after seeing Oklahoma. . . nevermind! So, here's the updated Mammoth Lakes Swarm anyways: At Earthquake Central: @ http://eqalert.blogspot.com/2014/09/september-new-moon-mammoth-lakes-swarm.html
Seem to be doing fairly good on my Video Logs and so here's a link to view this weeks V-Log on YouTube: http://youtu.be/5bWFeTyjgok
Not sure if anybody else was interested in this, but it looks like the X-Prize for Earthquake Prediction has hit the streets! Yes, the criteria was posted to their website recently and they have now stated that they will need a prediction within 200 Kilometers (120 Miles?), plus or minus 14 days (False positive rates, within a +/- 14-day window of the predicted earthquake, shall not exceed 50 percent)(???), any magnitude over 6, and appears you don't have to guess the magnitude (Ha-Ha), and 3 of these are needed to WIN!!! I just so happen to know a few people who will probably be interested in this "Competition" and am not sure who these "Teams" will turn out to be or how they should go about entering a team into the competition such as other X-Prize teams have in the past. Good-Luck To All Who Enter!!! Sincerely, The EQ Alert Guy

Thank u from CA!!! Several Mammoth swarms this year. Finally got CNN attention last weekend. USGS changed story from EQ's to "volcanic activity" duh on stupid meter. Thanks again for your effort.
Jennifer,
Thank-You for comments!!! California DOES have volcanoes and a history of eruptions, too! Always possible the next major volcano eruption could be coming!
Thank-You Again For Writing!!!
