Any thoughts, Chris? Or anybody else?

3 tiny quakes do not get me too excited. There is a NNE-SSW tear fault I have worked on a long time ago near the Ventura River, but there are multiple big active faults in this area. Two quakes always make a line; epicenters of 3 quakes can make a line that is not really a line in 3D?

I agree that this is not too exciting...the whole region is prone to small quake "swarms" that lead to nothing. I am always alert for things that I haven't seen before in the region, though. I recognize that the "line" is an apparent one, but of interest anyway!
