Something Wicked

So, what's the deal with all the recent earthquakes around the country? Lately the news has been centered around Reno but there have been temblors occurring all over. Has this been happening all the time but I just missed the news or is this something new that could portend something unpleasant? I can still remember while living in Japan what earthquakes felt like. Some were really scary. Especially the large ones that occurred during the middle of the night. Maybe something is about to awaken.
