Dont forget the Cali quake was a 7 something, so thats 4 at least so far.

Yea, the Cali quake, this one, and the one in Somalia, what was the other one?

[Lilith]

Utah had a 4.2 today. Small yes, but in this case its the place that had it. Thats a decent magnitude for that area.

Western Montana 3.3 today

Those are decent for their areas.

Id have to check, but theres been quite a bit of activity. I know its natural for small quakes to happen every day etc. But these bigger ones, its not that normal, especially the frequency. And these medium sized quakes in areas you dont typically see alot of rumbles in, are starting to have decent magnitudes on a more frequent basis. Thats a little un-nerving in my opinion. Plus the suns activity this month alone i have been monitoring that, and it has been horrendous this month, all year actually.

Utah had a 4.9 yesterday! DAMN!
and TN had a little rumble also. I wouldnt worry about that typically, BUT TN has been rumbling alot lately, which normally you dont see that. So it makes me wonder. Ughhhhhhhhhhh
