Around 11:45 am today, a mini-quake hit the San Jose, California area. It registered at around 5.1 on the Richter scale, which is noticeable but generally won't cause a lot of damage. The location was near Mt. Hamilton.
A week or so ago there were some 4.x size quakes much further north, near the Oregon border.
Shake and bake.

This is usually good news? More small quakes beats one big one... |

More small quakes might presage a major quake.
It's very complex.

"The San Andreas and Hayward faults get all the attention in the San Francisco Bay Area, but on Tuesday, the obscure Calaveras Fault made itself known.
"A magnitude 5.1 earthquake struck on the fault that runs through the hills east of San Jose, rocking the region and reminding everyone that we live in earthquake country. “The location of the epicenter suggests that this earthquake occurred within the Calaveras Fault zone,” U.S. Geological Survey research geophysicist Annemarie Baltay said in a video posted on Twitter.
"Turns out, the Calaveras Fault has the same capability to cause a ruckus as the two big-name faults.
"“When we think about hazardous faults in the Bay Area, there are three primary faults, San Andreas, Hayward-Rodgers Creek and Calaveras,” said Richard Allen, director of UC Berkeley’s Seismology Lab. “Calaveras is one of the big three.”"
