"I felt it" reports:
Navarro Ridge, Albion Ca. / not felt: My well started free flowing on Sunday. It lasted for about 1/2 a day. I first observed this type of happening after the China Olympic E.Q. when the well free flowed for 3 days. My weak water bearing aquifer is in a confined marine terrace. The well is located at the top of the steep Navarro Ridge approximately 60 feet east of a fault trace. The easterly springs on the sides of the ridge also started free flowing. My neighbor to the west of the fault has been unable to develop water.
Earthquakes in same area up to 1 year afterwards (likely aftershocks)

More on VolcanoDiscovery:

Ibu
Ibu volcano photos: Ibu in Halmahera is one of the most active, but rarely visited volcanoes in Indonesia. A spectacular lava dome is growing inside the volcano's breached crater, with frequent explosions.
Volcano Specials
Volcano Special Tours: We organize tours to particularly active volcanoes and during ongoing eruptions for extended observation time from various viewpoints. These trips, exclusively for very small groups, are often announced only at short notice and require fast travel and flexibility. Each trip is accompanied by a volcanologist from our team. Examples include: Kilauea (Hawai'i), Colima (Mexico), Krakatau and many others.
Lassen Peak
Lassen Peak volcano photos: A beautiful stratovolcano in northern California that last erupted in 1914-17.
Volcano Videos
Videos taken during our volcano expeditions and tours, showing eruptions, volcanic phenomena and more.
