I’ve sent the link to my earth scientist/geologist to read and comment to me.

There were a few earthquakes in California after the Nepal ones and the guys in CA said there seemed to be no connection to Nepal quake. My earth scientist said that large quake in Nepal was extraordinary and it moved the earth plate there and would send that energy through the plate system so the guys in California would not be able to say those quakes were not connected. That is the gist of what he said.

Please keep Me informed as to what you find out, as I live in NorCal and quakes are a constant worry so whatever information you discover would be quite welcome to hear.

California and Nepal both have plate boundary fault systems. They are quite different in other, important ways. Specifically, in South Asia the plates are colliding and in California the plates are sliding past each other in a close to north/south direction. We can determine how fast the movement is in each case but there are far too many parameters, some of which are the changes in the complicated and interrelated fault systems. So, history is reliable only in broad brush. Yeah, we can say that a system is due within “X” years but that’s still about it.
