They just haven't got the hang of their new equipment.

Remove all the lubricant from the tectonic plates and what else would you expect? Yosemite is one mega pimple ready to explode. The remaining liberals might actually pay attention to the bible after it erupts...
global warming. the rocks are too hot.
Just a plea for more money from idiot professors!
Here in Concord, CA some houses are beginning to have cracks on the wall, on cement patio, door being stuck. Not sure but it sounds like the earth beneath is slipping inch by inch or perhaps shoddy workmanship in building the houses.
For the same reason globull warmunist models predict catastrophe?
Because......petroleum.....
The problem is to much oil in the ground. It is making the faults slippery. We must re move all oil around the fault lines.

Big Deal; it’s going to happen some day, nobody knows when.
Just hope I am not in Downey when it happens.
The past few thousand years - just a blip in the lifetime of Earth - has allowed the human race to flourish.
But...this is only temporary.
The chance of an 8.0 (Calif)has increased from 4.7% to 7% in the next 30 years.
I believe the last prediction given for the Pacific Northwest was a 50% chance in the next 50 years for a 9.0.
Anybody heard commentary on the string of earth quakes off the coast from Eureka and inland to Nevada? Looks like the start of a zipper.
If California slides into the ocean
Like the mystics and statistics say it will
I predict this motel will be standing
Until I pay my bill
-Warren Zevon
There is a geological theory that says very large quakes shock the entire Ring of Fire and these shocks cause pressure buildups.
In the last 10 years, there have been very large quakes in Indonesia, Japan and moderate ones in New Zealand, Mexico and South America.
The only area NOT hit by a moderate/large quake has been Western USA.
I suspect the next major quake might be off the OR/WA coast.
Cool.. 38.8 million fewer liberals.
I read a great description of the “earthquake ecology” beneath California.
“Imagine you had 50 panes of glass. You lay one on the floor, then hit it somewhere randomly with a hammer, breaking it. Then you lay another pane on top of it, and hit it in a different relative place than the first, breaking it.
“When you have done all 50 panes of glass, the pile of broken panes is a good approximation of the earthquake faults. Several of the “faults” are similar in some of the panes, so it appears there are larger and smaller “faults”.”
The above is a pure "statement of faith", presented with zero evidence that the new models are correct.
This type of faith is the death of science.
