MM's+Earthquakes

Below I have a picture of a possible network failure in the LIGO system, and 2 registered amounts of seismic activity that I believe I have found to be registered earthquakes, courtesy of the [|List of Recent Earthquakes for California and Nevada] data facilities.

Ligo logbooks reveal that the Ligo network was experiencing internet connection problems from approximately 7am to 8am, perhaps explaining the lack of data in that time period in the graph above. Other explanations are unknown as of now.

The jump in seismic activity at around 12:30 and 3:00 could possibly be the microearthquake (2.1 magnitude) that occurred Saturday, September 29, 2007 at 9:36:43 AM. The jump was registered just a few hours afterwards which leads me to believe that it is in fact that earthquake.

A minor earthquake occurred 13 km (8 miles) WNW of Lake Elsinore, CA. It registered a 3.9 magnitude and hit at approximately 3:38:23 PM on Tuesday, September 25, 2007. Because of the spikes being a few hours late, it is probably the same earthquake.
