We recorded 237 earthquakes of during the 7-day period covered. The only quake felt this week, and the only one above M3 occurred just after midnight on Friday morning: M3.6, located near Anza in the San Jacinto Fault zone. It was felt in the epicentral area and also as far away as Pasadena by one insomniac (namely me). The focal mechanism was strike-slip, consistent with San Jacinto activity. The table lists the quakes this week that were M2.0 or larger in the central part of the coverage area. Times are local times; if you want Greenwich Mean Time, add 7 hrs to the Pacific Daylight Time or 8 hrs to the Pacific Standard Time listed. Table 1 ------- Date Time N Lat. W Long.
