this is a scary map. it shows all the earthquakes that have happened in california in the last week.

total earthquakes shown at the moment: 265

eek! sure, a bunch of them are aftershocks of the 6.5 earthquake that rocked the central coast of california earlier this morning. and sure, most of the earthquakes shown are of the magnitudes of 1 and 2. (small time stuff i'm sure, even with all those faults running all willy nilly over the place. eek!) but still, that's a hell of a lot of rumblies in the earth's tummy. that can't be good. great googally moogally! we really are going to split apart from the rest of the continent one day.

wow. i just looked at the map again, and the number of earthquakes on the map is 278. that's a lot of aftershock rumblies. truly fascinating stuff.
