Looks like a 4.7, so nothing big, but hoping everyone's ok.

Full moon. AND on Wednesday, the Earth was a perihelion (closest point) to the sun, causing maximum tidal pull effects. Gotta expect the crust to buckle and shift under those conditions.

The MSM will probably blame climate change for it. The sky is falling, the sky is falling! Excellent point Rocky, but please be careful about inserting facts into any discussion. Some people can't handle the truth.

Actually, the sky is PULLING.
It's my long-standing theory that solar/lunar tidal effects cause earthquakes and volcanoes. It has been common knowledge for centuries that the moon and sun cause ocean tides, and that the effect changes with the phase of the moon. Full and new moons create higher tides than at other times. The sun, though farther away, has the same effect.
It is not unreasonable to assume that if tides can pull trillions of tons of water up by many feet, there is an equal pull (if not result) on the Earth's crust. Any small movement in the crust can result in earthquakes and volcanic activity.

What do you know. I just read that Mount St Helens is rumbling. 4X the expected number of jiggles.
Another data point for my theory.
It wasn't a boob thread until a couple minutes ago, and then one showed up.

If somehow all the decent people in California could get east of the San Andreas line for a day. Then let that chithole rock and roll into the pacific.....

Woke up to a pucker factor of 10 at 2:40 this morning. No damage and the animals were calm and asleep. Reported to be 3 miles from Berkeley, about the same distance as my home.
Never take life to seriously, after all ,no one gets out of it alive.

Dad grew up in KY. Served in the USN in the Pacific during WW II. Took a job in a machine shop in LA for a while before returning home to KY. He experienced multiple tremblers that had the suspended shop lights swaying from side to side. Local guys in the shop just laughed while he stood there wide eyed watching everything shake and swing...

Any small movement in the crust can result in earthquakes and volcanic activity. I agree with your hypothesis, With the Earth's crust effectively "floating" on a semi solid (or would that be semi liquid?) mantle, tidal forces would naturally have an effect on crust movement.

Very minor point, from one that grew up with quakes... a little shaking is called a "temblor" not a trembler.

In 2016 ( latest stats) there was over 1700 earthquakes 5 or above, this one was in the 4's, purtty much normal activity.

the only real difference between a good tracker and a bad tracker, is observation. all the same data is present for both. The rest, is understanding what you're seeing.
