Probably getting boring for you reading this, but it is getting worse. A 4.7 last night about 1.5 miles from my house. Broke an aquaduct about 1/4 mile away. I had broken glass and stuff from my food cupboard all over the floor, including a cup of curry powder. Yellow, strong smelling powder everywhere. Put chips in a couple of the tiles on the floor. New cracks in the concrete outside my house. Trashed a couple of local supermarkets. I had a lot less damage then some. Irritatingly when it was mentioned on the national news, they said no damage. No damage! Friends have cracks in pretty much every wall, stucco falling off, furniture that fell over, a hot water tank that got loose from the strapping and windows that blew out.
I guess the latest theory is that a new fault is forming. Which means we might get a really big one. Wonderful.
If you want to see what I am talking about, look at the map and the list below of the last 30 earthquakes at http://quake.wr.usgs.gov/recenteqs/Maps/120-40.html. Take a look how frequent they are. We are all refreshing the screen quite often. It is like having a house made of jello. I am 4.5 km E of Verdi-Mogul and about 1,500 yds from the 6 km WSW of Reno epicenter.
