SoCal Hot Spot?

[Hemisteve]

Saw this today.
Any SoCal people know about this spot?
This is the first time I have ever heard about this and I am wondering if it is acually true.

I wouldn't be surprised if it has something to do with eartquakes and a possible underground volcano..

I vote for subsurface magma activity...gotta remember this coastal foothill area is a part of the Pacific Ring of Fire.

If this happened to erupt to the surface and a cone was developed, eastern Ventura County (western Los Angeles County) would be greatly impacted.

Currently, this is a growing community area.

Many years ago I worked those oil leases back in behind Filmore and Piru.
No fond memories of the place.

There are thermal hot springs further back in the boonies I've been to. Probably some sort of connection.
California's mtns are relatively new formations, and still active...

I have to agree with all the above responses. Geologically, California is a very young area and is changing daily. This hot spot could very well be a new volcano in the making. Look at Mexicos new volcano, started off as a hot spot and then erupted and is now over two thousand feet high.

It's just funny that it has not been reported before. I have never heard of this area, so is the gov. trying to hide the fact that a potential volcano is growing in So. Cal?

Living near the ring of fire anything is bound to happen.
Lassen could be next

Gov Arnie is having his teeth whitened for the upcoming elections which are more volitile than any hot spot
