There are many earthquakes along the fault in California practically daily. This may actually be a good thing as all of the smaller quakes release the pressure and avoids a major quake. I'm not sure what seismologists say about it. There does seem to be an increase all over the world lately, or at least it seems to be the case. In unrelated news, a recently discovery about Saturn is a new ring around the ringed planet. Read about it here if you haven't heard about it. www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/science/space/article6864286.ece |

A rare earthquake in South Texas was felt on October 20th. It registered 4.6 on the Richter scale. The U.S. Geological Survey reports that the epicenter of the quake was located about 50 miles southeast of San Antonio between Pleasanton and Karnes City.
Texas has the Balcones fault which runs right through the heart of the state. But experts quickly point out the Balcones Fault has long been dormant, so there is a low risk of earthquakes.

Magnitude 4.6 quake hits near San Antonio
October 20, 2011 11:17 AM
The Associated Press
SAN ANTONIO (AP) — A rare and record-breaking South Texas earthquake with a preliminary magnitude of 4.6 struck near rural Karnes County on Thursday morning, rattling homes and causing faint tremors in downtown San Antonio.
No injuries or major damage was reported, and the light quake wasn't even noticed by some residents living close to the epicenter, near Karnes City. Yet small vibrations felt in San Antonio did cause occupants to briefly evacuate a downtown federal building as a precaution.
The quake struck at 7:24 a.m. The U.S. Geological Survey said it was the largest earthquake on record for the area, surpassing a magnitude-4.3 shock recorded in 1993.
Thursday's earthquake occurred in a zone that has shaken in the past. From 1990 to 2006, at least a dozen small quakes rattled this region.
"It's an area where we've seen events before," said U.S. Geological Survey seismologist Susan Hough in Pasadena, Calif. "So it's not a big surprise."
Glynda Martinez, an associate municipal judge in Karnes City, said she thought a strong gust of wind or a tractor-trailer driving by was rattling dishes in her kitchen.
"When I saw my grandson this morning the first thing he told me was, 'Grandma, our trailer house was shaking,'" said Jaunita Munos, school secretary for the Pawnee school district.
Small earthquakes in Texas are not exceptionally rare, but are seldom felt in this area. The last one recorded around Karnes County was in January 2010 and had a magnitude of 2.6, which is too small for many people to feel.
A September earthquake in West Texas had a 4.4 magnitude and was centered just north of Abilene.
The largest Texas quake occurred in 1931 when a magnitude-5.8 temblor struck near Big Bend. Adobe buildings were severely damaged and brick chimneys toppled, but there were no deaths.

California Jam
Klaatu
Hodad made the scene toting a six-pack of cold cola
A stogie smoking in hand
A groovin' in his sandals
California's on my mind
Surf and sand setting in the sun
California's on my mind
One day you're gonna be a place in our memory
Na na na na na na na
When Woody hit the dunes flying foxtails and Old Glory
(Glory)
Rubber ripped the sand
He gunned a souped-down Stingray
Hey hey
Ah, California
She's in mythical Malibu
Sitting on the ocean
Goodbye mythical Malibu
The San Andreas Misfortune
Will claim the lives of sons and wives
The headlines will fill page after page
California's on my mind
Surf and sand setting in the sun
In the sun in the sun in the sun
In the setting sun
Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba
One day you're gonna be one sweet memory
Oh yeah
California
Swingin' on the beach
To the sounds of their time
Yeah yeah yeah
