Heard several were felt in the valley, wonder if any significant rockfall came down?
Reported in Visalia too but I must have slept through it.

The epicenters for the 2 dozen quakes early this morning were in the Hawthorne, NV area. Weird huh? Some of the strongest shaking was felt in Fresno. 3 of these quakes were over 5, up to 5.7. Felt all 3 at Kirkwood as light shaking. But strong enough to wake me up and wonder just what my bunk mate was doing!
I wonder how it felt in the Mono Basin?

Nice little shake here in the Valley. Enough to shake loose the Choss. Didn't hear any rock fall.

I felt it in Newcastle last night!
Just a small jolt, but enough to notice for sure. Most folks were probably asleep.

Had a M6 just north of tokyo last night. Not out to sea so no wave risk but strongest felt downtown in a while. Long too.
They usually come in clusters...

hey there say, tuolumne_tradster...
wow, thanks for the faultline map...
very interesting...
though of course, they can mean danger, but
good to know of them, and where they are...
(not trying to treat stuff lightly) but,
ever since i was a kid, i was very interested in
these things, and maps of the earth, mts, etc,
just--never knew they could map this stuff, oh my!!

Here is an easy way to overlay the geologic maps on Google Earth.
For example, to overlay White Mountain Peak Geologic Map Quad on Google Earth, first I Saved the "Cropped" White Mountain Peak geologic map on to my desktop from this website
http://geomaps.geosci.unc.edu/quads/quads.htm and used the Add Image Overlay feature on Google Earth as follows...
Open Google Earth to the approximate location of White Mountain Peak.
Click on the Add Image Overlay feature on the tool bar at the top. It will open a dialog box.
Enter "White Mountain Peak" under Name and then Browse to the Link to the White Mountain Peak.jpg file on the desktop.
Click on the Location feature in the Dialog Box and enter the North = 37 45 00.00 East = 118 15 00.00 South = 37 30 00.00 West = 118 30 00.00. The Lat Long can be seen on the corners of the Full Map image rather than Cropped image. There's also an image Transparency scale, so you can adjust to see the terrain through the geologic map.

Cool, thanks TT! I use those maps to hunt for caves, never thought of adding them to google earth for easier reference

Bodie Canyon Road closed after Hawthorne-area quakes
RENO, Nev. (KOLO) - More than 50 earthquakes have hit central Nevada near Hawthorne since 12:18 Wednesday morning, according to the US Geological Survey.
The Nevada Seismological Laboratory also reports several quakes continued to shake near Hawthorne early the morning of December 28, 2016.
According to the seismology lab, three magnitude 5.5 to 5.7 earthquakes struck about 18 miles southwest of Hawthorne just after midnight. Reports so far indicate minimal damage because of the remote nature of the earthquake sequence, but there are reports of things falling of shelves of homes and businesses. Mineral County resident David Ziegler shared photos of what he says is quake damage at the historic 9-Mile Ranch; those photos are attached here. (see link)
The Mineral County side of Bodie Canyon Road is closed because of boulders in the road as a result of the quakes.
Per Nevada Department of Transportation protocol following any 5.0-plus quakes, area bridges have been inspected with no findings of damage.
Strong shaking was reported in Hawthorne and Bridgeport, California, and the earthquake was felt as far away as San Francisco, Reno, Las Vegas and throughout California's Central Valley. More than 10,000 Nevada and California residents felt the events and posted responses to the
USGS “Did you feel it?” website. Many more posted on social media, including KOLO's.
As of Wednesday afternoon,17 earthquakes larger than magnitude 3.0 have occurred, including two magnitude 4.0 to 4.1 temblors.
The Hawthorne area is a seismically active region, with thousands of earthquakes recorded in a swarm during March and April in 2011. The 2011 sequence included 10 earthquakes of magnitude 4.0 to 4.4. Wednesday’s sequence is about 5 miles due west of the 2011 sequence area. Recent activity, since 2015, has included earthquakes greater than 4.0 just west of Walker Lake that were also strongly felt in Hawthorne.
The town of Hawthorne, along US Highway 95, has a population of 3,200. It's about 100 miles southeast of Reno and 70 miles south of Fallon.
To better monitor the evolving sequence, members from the Nevada Seismological Laboratory, working with the Nevada Division of Emergency Management, California Office of Emergency Services, and the USGS, are investigating access to this remote region, including a snowbound communications site outside of Hawthorne that is critical for establishing radio links for portable stations that could be deployed to better monitor the sequence.
“Ongoing activity southwest of Hawthorne is a reminder to all Nevada and California citizens to be earthquake prepared, since this level of activity – or greater – can occur anywhere in our state,” Graham Kent, director of the University’s Nevada Seismological Laboratory, said. “In the event of an earthquake, everyone should remember to drop, cover and hold on. It’s important to have a family plan, food and water supply for several days.”
