They said on the news that they have stopped. I think this is where they said there is a new fault line or close to it. I didn't feel any of these if they were that big. Maybe they will tell on the news tonight.

Interesting. We will have to keep watching that area.

yeah, they were fracking there, then they stopped and I don't know if they picked it up again.  in march they stopped due to the quakes.

It is getting to be normal for this area.  They are picking up again.  Where did you find these? I just looked on USGGS and they weren't there.  They may of already down played them which is normal for them.
