We’ve had our share of earthquakes this week—now eight since Saturday, though none of them registering a magnitude over 1.8. At thirteen minutes after midnight today, November 18, we had another tremor, this one of a 1.7 magnitude, and centered four miles south of Big Bear City, four miles southeast of Big Bear Lake and, per the U.S. Geological Survey, registering a depth of over three miles.
