What this page is. The list is the USGS catalog for a 50 km circle around Ben Lomond; magnitudes, places and times are theirs. The one thing measured here is the ground motion in Soquel, 16 km away, on a short-period seismograph run since 2002 — the trace at the top, and the ✓ marks below it. Data refreshed daily.
