There was a 3.48 earthquake due east of Walker near Wildhorse Mountain around 5:30 p.m. Tuesday. It’s part of a swarm through there. Walker is of course part of the Walker Lane, which is believed to be the eventual geological successor to the San Andreas Fault. Only deep time will tell.
The lunchtime crash on Tuesday was closer to 1 p.m. at Highway 395 and Charlotte. No report of injuries, but that intersection is quickly becoming a popular spot for collisions.
