Earthquake Swarm Near NorCal’s Geysers: Anyone Else Feel It?

Woke up to a bunch of alerts this week about over 100 quakes near the Geysers in Northern California. The biggest was a 4.0, and then came a string of smaller ones, most too tiny to feel. I’ve driven through that area near Healdsburg and Calistoga a few times, and it’s wild to think that all this activity is tied to the geothermal field. Anyone up there recently feel anything?


I’m planning a wine country trip soon and wondering if I should prep for possible tremors or just roll with it. The USGS says these swarms aren’t your typical aftershocks and don’t match up with known faults. Curious if this is just business as usual for the locals or if it’s time to think twice about staying in the area.
