If my odds of winning at gambling tripled from .77 to 2.3 I would not gamble more. Those odds are so low that they are meaningless. Give me numbers like 23.0 and I will start to worry, but 1 in 40? I will bet against those odds every single time.

Could be God taking care of business.
See _The Big One_ by Kevin E. Ready for a novel-length depiction of an earthquake on the Garlock and San Andreas faults.
