We’re way due.
Something possibly ominous is that California has become very seismically quiet of late:

Compared to a “normal” CA earthquake map, this is the quietest it has looked in many years.
Around here it smells like sulfur when they irrigate. Would be surprised if it were earthquake related, I’d be more concerned about the super volcano that is Old Faithful blowing.
Then again, it was the mayor of Los Angeles, Antonio Villaraigosa, at the podium of the DNC when they thrice rejected God.
Brimstone is the old name for sulphur, btw.
That does sound like earthquake material.
GET. OUT. OF. DODGE. This is not a drill.
It’s a tough call but I would be outa there
Watch animal behavior- they know when the big one is coming
Of course by the time the birds leave, the fish leave, the dolphins beach themselves and the dog starts whining, it’s too late to leave
Stock survival supplies!
I just heard from a relative in south orange county. She’s heard/smelled NOTHING.
Santa Ana winds blowing?
Tofu gas.
If it was H2s, you’d be dead the second that your nose registered the smell of rotten eggs.
Don’t worry about it; just remember this time of year you have a pretty constant onshore flow from the ocean down around Long Beach. It’s just recirculated human and animal farts from the millions of idiots who still live there. I know because I used to live in Downey and we would get it coming right up the Rio Hondo and San Gabriel river channels every year.
Now I just have to live with the smoke from the forest fires.
Still smells better than LA basin so called air.
Below describes a little of what Caltech, U.C. Berkeley and the USGS have been working on in order to predict earthquakes and create an early warning system.
An earthquake early warning system can provide a few seconds to tens of seconds warning prior to ground shaking during an earthquake. The warning messages can be used to reduce damage, costs and casualties in an earthquake. Earthquake early warning systems are currently operating in Mexico, Taiwan and Japan, but not in the United States. In California, the California Integrated Seismic Network (CISN) is testing an early warning system, using its real-time operations.A CISN early warning test system caught the M 5.4 Alum Rock earthquake of 2007. This map shows the distribution of ground shaking intensity predicted using the first few seconds of data recorded by seismometers near the epicenter in San Jose. The data used to generate this map was available a few seconds before the shaking was felt in San Francisco.
How does Earthquake Early Warning work?
The objective of earthquake early warning is to rapidly detect the initiation of an earthquake, estimate the level of ground shaking to be expected, and issue a warning before significant ground shaking starts. This can be done by detecting the first energy to radiate from an earthquake, the P-wave energy, which rarely causes damage. Using P-wave information, we first estimate the location and the magnitude of the earthquake. We use this to estimate the anticipated ground shaking across the region to be affected. The method can provide warning before the S-wave, which brings the strong shaking that usually causes most of the damage, arrives.
Feasibility studies of earthquake early warning methods in California have shown that the warning time would range from a few seconds to a few tens of seconds, depending on the distance to the epicenter of the
Earthquake Early Warning
Late in 2007, MHDP participated in discussion with Caltech, U.C. Berkeley, and the USGS to create an Earthquake Early Warning System. As contributors and end-users have considered the results of the ShakeOut Scenario, the discussion about earthquake early warning has been re-engaged, in examining how it might mitigate injury, property damage, and the loss of life in the ShakeOut earthquake.
Currently, work is being done in partnership with the California Integrated Seismic Network (CISN) to develop the tools and algorithms to provide a warning that an earthquake is underway and strong shaking will reach you based on your distance from the fault rupture...

Large amount of real-time information on this at dutchsinse.com. Dutch has been reporting on this a lot lately. Seems it may be connected with San Onofre nuclear plant as well.
