…or a foreshock of something worse? The house just had a sharp jolt — a couple actually. It got the cat’s attention. And she didn’t warn me beforehand.
[Checking out USGS…]
Wow, it was right off shore.

Quake swarm. Probably just a developing volcano.
I used to live in PV, and we used to get little temblors like this every day. Still, it seems like there are more quakes around the ring of fire lately. I am glad I don’t live in SoCal anymore. Now I live in Seattle, where we don’t get a too many quakes, except for one great big one every couple of decades.
If the Pacific is building a volcano offshore, I guess that means the ocean doesn’t want California either.
Does your cat usually warn you beforehand about quakes?
No, she’s never done so. Of course, surprisingly, this is the first time in fourteen years that we’ve been together during a quake (but then, the last half decade was in Florida, where she had to contend with hurricanes).
