Summary:

The USGS isn't giving a fault plane solution, and I don't think there is much coverage, but this is one of those random events that happens in relatively stable geology.  I did get a streetview. Very mountainous, so you'd expect a lot of internal stress adjustments.  The felt area shows a uniform pattern of very low ground motions. This is what you'd expect for something that is more
