I’ve spent most of my life recreating in that area (and still do). My parents took me to Bodie in 1962 and from then on, I was hooked on the region. In the early 1980’s, I worked in and around the Long Valley caldera studying the earthquake swarm that hit the area in the Spring of 1980. Anyway, I’d bet that this latest eq is part of the long term, on-going lateral displacement occurring between the Sierra Nevada Mtns and the the White-Inyo Mtns.
I’d be interested to know if there has been a sudden increase in the water temperature at Benton Hot Springs as a result of this latest event? For that matter, I wish that I was out there right now, rather than this continued “house arrest”.
