Yes, but weak earthquakes are very common in those areas. For example:

http://quake.wr.usgs.gov/recenteqs/index.html

shows 332 quakes in the last week in Calif/Nevada.

On APRS, the object name gives the time (ddhhmm) before the q and the  
magnitude (x10) after (so 23 means 2.3). If I recall correctly, only  
those Mag 2 and greater are sent to the APRS IS. None that I'm seeing  
are large enough to feel...
