Report: 11/4/22

 

A magnitude 6.1 earthquake struck the Gulf of California early this morning. It was located 80 km SSW of Bahia de Kino, Mexico. If anyone is concerned as to whether or not this event added stress to the southernmost segment of the San Andreas Fault in California, it should not have. It would take a major rupture on a neighboring section to really increase the risk for a rupture along that segment. It was too far away and not big enough. Of course, this is not to say that there is no risk. There is always a risk where something can change on a dime. Otherwise, the activity in Southern California is still very low. It has not been more active since I left. It has in fact been more quiet than ever since I moved away over a year ago. There may be a lot going on elsewhere in the world so far. More activity has been taking place in Central America, Peru, northern Chile, and Indonesia.
