Quakes in southern Oregon, northern Nevada border region

[MarkBC]

These happened in the past day, near an area that's been seeing seismic activity reported in the last year.
It's "basin and range" in action!

"8 earthquakes in 24 hours rattle southern Oregon; strongest at 4.5 magnitude"

Might be a good time to see some mountains popping up...or maybe just grabens dropping down.

I can see why only four people felt it. That is a bit remote.

Stoplight? I don't think Vya even has stop sign!

These days, Vya is just a location.
But when I pass through there, or plan to, I like to say "I'm going via Vya". Yes, kinda dorky -- I don't mind.

That's why I like it out there. Everything else is too damned big...
