An earthquake this week in Mexico made waves over 1,700 miles away in a cave located in California’s Death Valley, the National Park Service said.
At the time of the earthquake, officials with the National Park Service were conducting research atin California and "witnessed the effects firsthand." Devils Hole is a water-filled cavern cut into the side of a hill that’s more than 500 feet deep, officials say. It’s also home to the only naturally occurring population of the endangered Devils Hole Pupfish.
"The highly endangered Devils Hole pupfish has thankfully evolved with these types of periodic natural disturbances, and they were fine and swimming afterward," Death Valley National Park wrote in the Facebook post. "Keeping with previous observations, staff expect to see an increase in spawning activity over the next few days, hopefully resulting in even more recruits into the population.
The U.S. Tsunami Warning Center said that hazardous tsunami waves were possible for coasts within 186 miles of the epicenter. Nor is there a season or month for big earthquakes anywhere on the globe, Earle said. But there is a predictable thing: People seek and sometimes find coincidences that look like patterns.
