For the last few days, there's been a swarm of earthquakes in the Brawley - Salton Sea area of California.

I have property in Bahia Asuncion, about halfway down the Pacific Baja coast. A few years ago the same thing happened there. All told lasted for about 4 months. Finally just stopped. Geologists from Mexico and the U.S. were baffled. The townsfolk were severely stressed out. Very freaky.

Now 643.

I look at the Bahia location using Google Earth. Yep, you're kind of out there. Couple of air strips and plenty of dead volcanos. Nice change of latitude.
