I've been watching that area too (from California). It has been very
interesting. To bring a "possible" California similarity into this, there
have been similar patterns within the San Francisco Bay Area. Yes, we have
had quake swarms all over the bay area, particularly in one area in what's
known as the East Bay (Concord, Alamo area). The swarm lasted for a few
weeks with the largest reaching 4.5 and then the activity abruptly stopped.
But the swarms in Nevada do seem to reflect the dueling quake activity that
occurred in our area during the 1800's (I wasn't here then) when there was a
M6 quake in the east bay, followed years later by M7 quake in the Santa Cruz
Mtns area (Loma Prieta area), only to be later followed by a M7 back in the
east bay. It was sort of a battle of the bay - east bay vs. south bay. The
area spans about 150 - 200 miles. 
 
I've been watching the depth of many of the quakes and most of them seem to
be in the 0-7km range but there is the consistent number of events occurring
deeper, in the 10-18km range too. Those deeper events might be more
indicative of something maybe unusually large.
 
Any comments?

Illinois and Nevada are in competitions -- I felt this one in southern
