I see your humor but I am semi-serious.
Earthquake theory is a hobby of mine after I took Geology in college back in the 80’s.
I don’t expect any major quakes in the USA right now as nothing seems to be building but i do monitor the activity daily.
Other than some small activity on the Cascade Fault the last year, the West Coast has been fairly quiet.

Interestingly I did predict a major quake on the Kamchatka Peninsula a couple years ago base on a change in precursors.

The area I don’t understand is all the activity in NW Nevada/S OR in the last 3 years.
Its seismic history looks like a new volcano but this would be very rare.

I was not joking. Most of the quakes happen it seems in the spring months, particularly it seems, April.

The seismic activity I’m curious about is the line of activity from off shore Eureka to Nevada. It’s a straight line of quakes. It looks like a zipper to the big one of the Cascadia fault to me.
