The strange part is that most of the eq's are '0 feet' in depth. But, the initial shakers were 100's of miles deep. Odd. And there have been dozens of smaller quakes around the same area for last few days. That area has cold springs so it must of been volcanic in the past. It's full moon so that could be pulling the lava underneath. But the depth variation is very strange. New ('baby') volcano being 'born'?
