Quake swarm "intriguing"

http://www.montereyherald.com/search/ci_9149742?IADID

I was reading this article in a sunday paper and learned that there now have been 1000 earthquakes up to a 4.7 on April 25, 2008 in Mogul a suburb of Reno, Nevada. some People are starting to sleep outside in their cars, campers and boats because they are so shaken up from the over 1000 earthquakes there since Feb. 28, 2008. One man said, "I was in a car wreck that was less violent than the earthquake." I believe he was refering to the largest quake of 4.7 magnitude on april 25th 2008.

The following site is interactive and will help you see better ongoing the California and reno quakes. There is also a United States interactive map and a world map of earthquakes available here too.
