Odd earthquake day

New Mexico may have had its rough and rowdy past, geologically speaking, but when was the last time there were two earthquakes of significant size -- magnitude 3.0? One was in quiet little San Luis, on the border with Colorado. The other was 56 miles NNW of Albuquerque near Encinal.

And, on the same day, in Owen Sound, Canada, just across the border from Michigan, there is a 4.2 mag. It would appear there are fewer quakes here than New Mexico.

Perhaps it all means nothing, but given the number of quakes, tsunamis, mudslides and hurricanes, it's not that easy to dismiss them either.
