A revisit to that site will show the tremendous amount of activity in that part
of the San Andreas recently.
Looks like they might be right when we were warned that the whole rest of the
country will slide off into the Atlantic and the Pacific rim will be left high
and dry.


I am on the USGS Email list server for events=/ 3.0

Guadalupe Victoria has been waking up for the past few months with a lot
of M3 to M4 events. I was not surprised.

My house is 4 miles from the 1971 Sylmar quake epicenter and 10 miles
from the 1994 Northridge quake epicenter. The house survived both of
those with no damage.

I am 13 miles from a very stuck section of the San Andreas Fault.

The former encouraging, the latter troubling. May the former hold
true when the latter holds forth.

Here I sit on the margin of SF Bay about 2.5 miles from the Hayward
Fault (home of the "next big one") and about 14 miles from the San
Andreas Fault (which may still have a "little" time). This reminds me
- I should get that quake inspection and a few upgrades pretty quick.
We have quake insurance, but it doesn't do much good if you're
squawrshed...

I'm frame stucco on slab single story earthquake prepared.

Some of that San Francisco area was built many years ago when they sank
some old wooden Ships (after going around the Horn from East to West.Go
West young man, go West ~ Horace Greely) and then pushing some sand and
dirt and who knows what else? on top of those Ships.Land fill, dontcha
just know?
Yah, you betcha! How San Francisco was built.

Mother Nature doesn't stay 'stuck' for long,
too much energy.

We have quite a bit of fault creep on some segments of the Hayward
Fault; but not the whole thing, and not nearly enough to relieve the
strain. That potential energy still builds, and I am afraid it will
become kinetic when we least expect it.

So, what's the Rose Canyon Fault? Is it a fairly separate large fault
(like the Hayward), or a parallel closely-related strand of the San
Andreas?

And, can I hear it on 25 meters? ;-)

Watch the dogs and cats and frogs and horses, they will let you know
ahead of time.If you see them hauling ass for the hills, follow them.

Con Air movie is crankin up rat (follow the rats too) now on the EACT
channel 541, on DirecTV.
