Damn. earthquakes keeps popping up in Cali.

There not huge. Just 2.0's or little over.

Not sure if that's normal. I've been keeping up with Weather Robot. It also reports earthquakes all over the U.S.

Why could that be?

@DanielsASJ See my direct reply. California lies above a major "subduction" area where the Pacific Ocean floor (crustal) Plate is being pushed down under the North American Continent. The plates there are also heavily fractured, leading to slips along these faults.

Each earthquake is by sudden stress-relief and it's safer to have many tiny strains than few but much heavier ones.
