Update 11/09 - 07:09 UTC
- 6 earthquakes so far today + a couple very shallow ones ! The shallow ones are hopefully due to deformation stress (although deformation is not really changing fundamentally).

- Joke tells us that people living in Sabinosa and in other parts of the El Golfo bay are complaining about strange smells. This goes onfor at least a couple of weeks. ITER and IGN are told to take samples regularly, but the biggest complaint from the population is that nobody tells anything. Those following the events from the beginning do know that this comes not as a surprise to us. Most of the shallow 9-11 km deep quakes are centering in the El Golfo and Sabinosa area.
