The recent swarm has been particularly intense, with over 20 quakes recorded near San Ramon alone, each ranging from magnitudes of 2.5 to 3.8. This level of activity is unusual for the region, prompting experts to analyze the patterns closely. Unlike typical aftershocks that follow a major quake, swarms are characterized by their…
