Does anyone happen to recall any of the largest earthquakes in this area during the last twenty years or so? It seems like we're probably due for a big one sooner or later!
A 5.2 earthquake centered 44 miles west of Tonopah, according to the U.S. Geological Survey, was felt throughout the Eastern Sierra at ten minutes after 4pm Tuesday. Bishop residents who contacted USGS said they were told the quake was centered 69 miles northwest of Bishop.
