Re: [californiadisasters] 5.7 earthquake strikes in Northern California

For give my newbie/east coast innocence or it could be the new earthquake app I downloaded to replace an older one I had..... But has the pacific rim (Japan to to California) to Oklahoma been more active in the past few weeks? This is not scientific based but just from the alerts on the app I have.

Thanks and stay safe,
Barton
