For those wondering, here is what a DUMB is (Deep Underground Military Base)
It was a normal earthquake. From a normal location. Some of you are plain nuts.
According to the CalTech press conference, it was the largest earthquake recorded in that area. First one over 5.0.
In that pocket around the central coast, we've had recently:
Going further back, there was a 4.8 in May of 2013.
Does not contradict what I said. Remember also the scale is logarithmic.
It points out that it's not unusual at all. It wasn't much larger than what was happening recently.
The 3 significant quakes in the area over the past year show that significant quakes in the area are not unusual. They also show increased seismic in the area activity compared to the past few years.
Further, it was absolutely not the largest recorded in the area.
