This is the third quake to measure above 6.0 with two of them at 6.4 in less 24 hrs. The other was an aftershock to Chile's 8.8. And it still remains quiet in North America.

Hi, I too think it is way too quiet here. I check the ca/nevada usgs map many times a day. Have done this for years. It seems to me we are lacking many micro quakes up and down the state. The map list is usually full of small micro quakes. I'm very nervous about all the other activity, and the quiet here in California.
