    Seen a lot of armchair scientists claim small quakes relieve stress on the big fault lines.
    Real scientists have proven the opposite and smaller quakes can lead to bigger quakes.

    You mean they had more in Ridgecrest?  It won’t let me see the article….

    Other articles say the area is jiggling.  Was there anything medium size?  I know someone who lives there.

    I’ve felt earthquakes in 4 different states….midwest, deep south east, island, and in the Rockies.  None large tho the first one was rocking the bed like I was on a boat.  Others have felt like an avalanche smacked into the back of the house.  All different movements.  Some are a shimmy you feel only if you’re on the porch.  Disturbing….and would not like to experience any significant one.

    A person who gets paid to actively research, study, and draw conclusions based off real hard facts and evidence.

      So what about those that have data, facts and information that refutes such information?

    I would suggest that everyone check their homeowners insurance. Used to be you had only to buy flood insurance seperate. Now you also have to buy earthquake insurace as it is now separate from the home owners insurance.  We normally don’t have earthquakes here but have felt the shaking from them out of northern VA. So we did get it. Not going to take any chances as the last one shook the house.  That was the one that messed up the Washington Monument.  Lots of shaking going on that day.
