Seismicity detection experiment for Coachella Valley area. Earth motion detection ( earthquakes ), using a homemade seismometer.
The location is near Palm Springs, Southern California.

Sponsor Alembic high end guitars manufacturer. This is just an experiment ! (2005/08/23)
If you happen to see huge spikes, Do not deduct too quickly, you have seen the big one !
California may not be sailing away yet from the rest of the continent.
It probably mean, somebody is too close to the seismometer, or working on it, the UPS/FedEx delivery truck is trying to reach 45 mph in a nearby 150ft dead end driveway or perhaps simply a cricket jumped on it...

After about two days of low activity, today activity suddenly increased, they were at least 4 earthquakes, with magnitudes between 4.1 and 4.6, as well as hundreds of after-shocks.

It was in an area called "Obsidian Butte" near a little town called "Brawley". This is at the South end of Salton Sea, in Southern California.
This area seems popular for having a lot of quakes in a short time frame. The area lay between the San Adreas fault and the Imperial fault line.
The same area seems to have been active more than average in the 1970s and earlier in the 1930s.
The following views represent a sample of 2005/08/31 activity.

2005/09/01
After a few hundreds after-shocs of the previous day, an earthquake of Magnitude 5.0 (location and magnitude still temporary) happened South of yesterday's events. It was in Mexico, near the border.
2005/09/02
Correction. The event location and magnitude have been corrected (by the USGS)
The location is the same as all the previous quakes of the last days.
The magnitude has been icreased to 5.1
The following view is from our seismometer reading...
