It appears that another Earthquake swarm may be underway in California. This time, reports are indicating that a Cluster of moderate earthquakes has rocked Northern California on Wednesday night and early Thursday morning. About 9:55 p.m. Wednesday, a magnitude 4.5 earthquake was reported about 20 miles east of Janesville, near the Nevada border, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. This follows a recent swarm that rattled Central California that produced nearly two dozen earthquakes.
