How does this effect yellowstone? Any related info?I was just reading that last year there were about 19000 (nineteen thousand) small temblors in the Oroville spillway, and that they each coincided with a little more spillage than usual. To answer your question, I am in no way a scientist, but I know where the big guns are in the science world on a need-to-know basis when they're talking. Today, it's not the same website that it was the last time I went there, when there was a lot of chatter about a dam in Northern California.You have no idea about our faults here, do you?Maybe we can be fortunate and watch the land west of San Andreas fault turn into a new floating island that could capsize if too many people end up on it.. Take San Fran Nan and Mad Maxine with it...Is it true that smaller quakes precede the Big One? What do you think?
First it was the devasdating fires, now, it's earthquakes. Time to call the Van Lines?
Please discuss if you live in CA what preparations you can make: Do you have an alternative road going East if the San Andreas Fault gives and the Coastal lands sink? Last week some people were worried because indicator fish (some squiggly long thing hardly ever seen) were noticed in large numbers, which happens just before disaster hits the Ring of Fire in the Northern Pacific region. Please tell us you can get out of there if the Big One destroys California as we know it. What is your Exit Strategy?
Ten earthquakes of preliminary magnitudes between 3.0 and 4.5 struck off the coast of Northern California between Saturday and Sunday, the United States Geological Survey reports.

To quote the USGS: "On 14 February 2017, two small seismic events occurred in proximity to the Oroville Dam in the Sierra Nevada foothills, California. A new report found 19,000 smaller‐magnitude events near the Oroville spillway that were similar to the events and occurred in clusters that strongly correlate with periods of spillway discharge.
