SIERRA REGION IS OVERDUE FOR A SHAKER
I've been getting word images "Mammoth Lakes" and the "Sierra" which are getting stronger. A swarm of micros (again) this month are south of Tahoe and on the NV side of the Sierra Nevada region. http://quake.usgs.gov/recenteqs/Maps/119-37.html
Last year we were dealing with the ongoing swarm at Verdi-Mogul...And there is the 1980 Mammoth Lakes big quake swarm with 6.0s. We've got a New Moon on the rise in a few days so I'm on my toes and watching to see if my seismically sensitive critters will be on their paws. So far, fairly mellow here. But a moderate quake around the Tahoe area (Tahoe Vista, Truckee and south down to Markleeville) as well as Mammoth Lakes is over due and it wouldn't shock me if we did get a main shock before May is over...
Speaking of months. June isn't out of the question either for a moderate Sierra shaker. In June 2005, Tahoe Vista shook a strong 4.8 and my cat sensed it prior and 15 minutes before it rocked my house. http://www.calorey.com/WomanPredictsQuakes.html [Scroll down to #4]
And there is a new study circulating about how Lake Tahoe is capable of a major quake plus. Read: A whole lotta water out there from the deep, dark, cold lake could produce a seiche or tsunami as it did centuries ago.

East of Tahoe in the Sierra Nevada region shakes today with two minor quakes. Yes, these could migrate West in the upcoming days.
