(A series of earthquakes on Christmas Eve and before dawn Christmas morning hit around California, and a much bigger 6.3 quake shook off Vancouver.

At least nine earthquakes in 24 hours reaching up to 3.2 magnitude shook California from the Los Angeles area north to Chico, the U.S. Geological Survey reports.

If you do have friends of family there and haven't already checked up on them. It might be a good idea.

EDIT it's likely they went unnoticed.

We had a little swarm of quakes in the 3.0 to 3.5 range in Dallas about 4 or 5 years ago. When I mentioned it to some SoCal friends, they laughed "that's not a quake, that's an 18 wheeler on the freeway."

I slept through 3’s with regularity. American Canyon was they only one the woke me, and honestly, I thought my drunken ex was just Buffaloing into bed.
It wasn’t until I realized I still heard snoring in the front room that I checked the earthquake monitors.

Now, clusters are scientifically notable. If the graphic is a map, showing the faults affected, it certainly looks on my tiny screen to be along San Andreas. Several small movements is a good thing, as it takes pressure off from between the plates.

I lived, for a handful of years, on the west side of the Hayward fault, about six blocks off of it. Creep from Hayward made my yard a three-level wonderland.
I’m aware of about five significant movements on the Hayward in that time. One originated under a lake close by and sounded like an explosion. We felt no movement, too close to the epicenter, but the neighbors were all outside in moments.
The remainders were the typical, did-a-truck-hit-the-building? quick shake. My first was noticed while soaking an injury in the tub. I was still, and suddenly, ripples.
Where there is no pebble tossed, nor wind to blow. (Maybe that’s what Robert Hunter was referencing.)
