California rocked by multiple earthquakes in less than 12 hours
2025-04-03
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] California has experience three earthquakes in less than 12 hours

The latest quake, measuring a 2.8 magnitude struck Monterey County, which hit at 4:16pm ET.

The US Geological Survey (USGS) detected 2.8 magnitude and 2.9 magnitude tremors just miles outside of San Francisco.

An assessment from Michigan Tech University showed that people typically do not feel quakes with a magnitude of 2.5 or less. Those from 2.5 to 5.4 are often felt but only cause minor damage.

No injuries or damages have been reported following the California earthquakes.

The latest quake came from the San Andreas fault that spans 800 miles up and down California, which experts fear is is overdue for another massive earthquake, according to the Great California Shakeout.

Experts have estimated that over 39 million people on the West Coast would feel the effects of the 'Big One,' which is a magnitude 8 or higher.

#4  Pulled an all nighter at Ingram's Chili Bowl.

That would explain the 50kt wind gusts we have been getting.

A bit suspicious that all these earthquakes come right after explosions on the Sun. Could be aliens trying to take over Earth while everyone is distracted by Trump's tariffs. Say, you don't think Trump is in on it? Hard to imagine a bigger cartoon villain move!
