text:  One was in December of 1912 down near Oxnard, about a 5. But the stronger quake, the strongest in two years in two states, was near Bishop, about a 5.5. It was felt strongly in Fresno and Bakersfield, and that was on January 4, 1912, the day of the maximum tidal force in 600 years. And so I brought this information to my friends at the USGS, and they said, Jim, haven't you heard of coincidence? And I said, yes, I've also heard of corroborative evidence.
