This document is a commentary on current seismic activity. The
earthquakes discussed have been detected and processed
automatically. All epicenters and magnitudes have been reviewed
to exclude obvious blunders; however, they must still be
considered preliminary. For further information, please contact
the authors or the Caltech Public Relations Office at 818-395-6326.

--------------------------------
This week's Report covers the time period from midnight Thursday
morning, October 20, Pacific Daylight Time, to midnight Wednesday
night, October 26, Pacific Daylight Time. We recorded 387
earthquakes of M1.0 or larger this week.
We experienced an upsurge in activity this week, compared
to the last couple of weeks. This is probably not, however,
beyond the range expected statistically. No single are was
responsible for the increase, and no events exceeded M4. After-
shocks in the two major sequences (Landers and Northridge) continued
to dominate the map.
The largest quake was a M3.4 that was part of a cluster in
the Death Valley region, on Sunday. The M3.4 occurred near the
tail end of the cluster, in the evening.
The second largest event was a M3.3 in the southern
San Joaquin Valley, early last Friday morning.
There was also a M3.1 SE of Ridgecrest on Sunday evening.
It was part of a swarm that continued from last week. That swarm
produced a M4.3 last week.
Another M3.1, on Monday morning, was a Landers aftershock
and was felt in Yucca Valley.
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 Daylight
Time listed.
