Just noticed that, good pickup.
 Seems I remember a US Navy base at Hawthorne, Nevada, a Weapons depot of some sort.
 Rumor from many years ago has it that there is an underground tunnel going from Port Hueneme, California, to Hawthorne, Nevada big enough for Los Angeles Class SSBN's
  Are those quakes, or has there been a series of explosions?

Don't know if they are quakes or explosions but something still is happening:

Yes, Shy;
  Holly Deyo noticed also, and posted up a nice graphic on their website.  She has counted over 100 events.

274 quakes.  I'd say the picture says it all.  Dodging a bullet if nothing comes of this swarming activity.
