Ridgecrest Aftershocks Move Toward Dangerous Faults

For anyone else interested in becoming more acquainted with earthquake events and learning about faults near you, I suggest checking out:

https://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/map/

If you click the gear icon in the top right, a menu will pop up on the right. You can scroll down on there and click the checkbox next to "US Faults" to see specific faults, or "US Hazards" to see a general color guide indicating earthquake risk. Everyone should be aware and have basic preparation tasks done if they live in a risk zone. We all know about "the big one" expected in California or Washington state, but even states like Missouri have high risk areas and have produced some powerful earthquakes!

There was a 3.5 magnitude quake in the South Bay Area Monday.
