The number of temblors that have hit the SoCal region this year is troubling.
Southern California was struck by a magnitude 4.0 earthquake on Saturday morning.
Last week seismologist Dr. Lucy Jones weighed in on the latest quakes to strike Southern California.
Today we are having a small swarm in the Fontana Seismicity Lineation, a northeast-striking line of many small quakes. Today we have so far M3.9, M3.5 and many M1s and M2s. I’ve seen this tyoe of cluster in Fontana dozens of times in my decades watching SoCal quakes.

I was going to argue about the maximum magnitude comment, sure that I remembered bigger ones in the past. But I searched the catalog and the largest quake of the last 90 years is the same M3.9 in 1953 https://t.co/IkzsjRBj82
