Earthquake Swarm In California Sets New Record with 408 Quakes In 2 Weeks

San Ramon appears to have broken a new earthquake record over the last two weeks: A total of 408 small quakes have struck the East Bay city, almost four times the amount of quakes set in 2003 in half the time period.
The U.S. Geological Survey reports that as of Oct. 13, the Northern California Seismic Network had detected 408 earthquakes – at least a dozen since 10 p.m. on Monday, with other quakes spilling into the wee hours of Tuesday. Most quakes have clocked in with magnitudes ranging from 2.0 to 3.0.

Earthquake swarms are one example of how much geologists don't know. The current swarm will most likely end as abruptly as it began, with nobody knowing why.
And it is probably a good thing for residents. A lot of small quakes, each releasing a small amount of energy, is preferable to one big quake where all that energy and more is released at once.

That is where I grew up. :-$

There were almost 600 quakes when all was said and done I believe.

I haven't bought into the theory that major tribulations would start after the solar eclipse, but I may need to rethink that. There are a lot of natural disasters going on right now with all the wildfires in the west, massive hurricanes and lots of earthquakes. Maybe that solar eclipse meant something after all.

The original post was from 2015 but was right in the middle of the four blood moons If I remember correctly. There have been a lot of heavenly signs in short order.

I've been saying the same all week. Figured it was just another cool astronomical phenomenon. Starting to rethink that one a little.

These events seem to be very timely indeed...
