Post News Information : Post Editor A. L. "LUCKY" Lucketta- PORTERVILLE, CA. - In 2008 the Post decided it would be a good idea to start tracking earthquake activity in the Porterville area. Even though our area rarely experiences big quake activity, we have noticed an increase in the number of quakes in our area. Mr. Gary Snyder from the USGS informed the Post that our area does not have a history of large earth quake activity, basically because of the charater and composition of the land. He did say he'd keep a close eye on our area but couldn't promise a long historical list of earth quakes in our area ... so the Post will. The second reason for tracking earthequake activity in this area has a lot to do with Lake Success. Congressman Nunes and the Army Corp of Engineers has stated that the main reason for lowering the water level of the dam was because of the dam structure itself being unsafe and in need of repairs below the release area. So ... if you feel an earthquake in or around the Porterville area, let the Post know. Thanks - A. L. "LUCKY" Lucketta
