" A quick look at the USGS earthquake list for northern California will reveal a host of minor earthquakes each day. Some of which can be as intense as 3.0.
Between Clear Lake and Santa Rosa there is a geothermal site that regularly send tremblers that average about 1.9. This is often considered a kind of safety valve for our area as the energy produced from the Geysers is used to provide electricity to some areas. "
