2.5 3km WSW of Cupertino, CA 2018-01-04 11:34

2.6 23km WSW of Westley, CA 2018-01-04 09:22

Then I went and looked up the last really big snowstorm that struck a lot of those down-east locations this one in 1973, and found a 5.3 Point Magu, California Earthquake a few days later!!! Here's that story@ http://scedc.caltech.edu/significant/pointmugu1973.html

Looks like there might be a new edition of "Earthquake Minute" headed into production to be submitted to my friends at the Pacifica Radio Network and especially since I'm even right now as I type this, wearing my brand-new "Democracy Now" Hoodie!!!!!

So be watching because it's very possible California could shake more YET!!! Also West Coast and I have to say some shaky East Coast places could be subject to earthquakes at this point, too!!! And of course we shouldn't forget Oklahoma, New Madrid, Illinois, and possibly Yellowstone and Montana because we didn't say them the last time! Everybody be watching there!!!
