Well at least we all know that Shari is not entirely looney now right! 
David , Thanks for posting the USGS webpage directly onto the thread. I tried ,but I'm not linking the address correctly or something.
The way all this very localized activity is described sure sounds like magma movement to me.
I find it odd that this hasn't shown up before as siesmic activity but now that it has, I wonder just how bad was the shaker this AM for the folks in
Asuncion?
They're not posting yet.

shaking
I heard from Shari yesterday and she said the town was shaking in localized areas. They had ground swaying in one area and a few hundred yards away
hardly anything. These local quakes are not felt in neighboring towns. This seems quite different than our usual California quakes.

-----isn't that USGS quake site right on the line of the tectonic plates??---The western "plate" subsiding under the "eastern" plate???
If so, this could produce quakes with no related volcanic activity----right??? (it could also PRODUCE volcanic activity if there is fracturing of the
crust, I believe.)

going back to the geo mapping, the 'cross' fault seems to intersect the plate action which is north/south. We will know more when the USGS determines
the strike which seems to be east but could be a preemt of a north/south quake. The geo's I've talked to think the 4.8 should end it for 'now'. ?????

I think the local effect of the quakes could be due to the relatively shallow Depth 10 km or 6.2 miles

that is not a joke it was reported on the local radio station today. also
of interest the radio is reporting on the situation with the earth quakes.

Well if the earthquake experts are such knuckleheads to have their equipment stolen while eating tacos, I would put much faith in their judgement on
much else.

The town being evacuated today is sure not what those g-men first told the people of Asuncion, huh?
Since quakes happened days before the map showed anything... I am still wondering if what is happening under Asuncion different (volcanic) than the
TWO quakes on the map many miles out to sea?

They never had the equipment in Mulege. It was left on the side walk in La Paz because they forgot to load it at the last minuet because they had had
to much puff puff before they left!!!!-----Robinson Crusoe

They might have been nervous heading out to a disaster in progress, cant blame em.
BTW aren't you on a deserted island?

Crusoe: Is at least the part about leaving the equipment on the sidewalk in La Paz factual? Where did you get that information? Or is it merely
creative writing from a fictional character??
