WASHINGTON (CNN) -- This week's deadly train bombings in Spain will not lead to a rise in the U.S. color-coded terror threat alert system, a Department of Homeland Security spokesman said Friday.

"Based on the current intelligence, we have no specific indicators that terrorist groups are considering such an attack in the U.S. in the near term," said department spokesman Brian Roehrkasse.

I am glad to hear the prognosis is less severe!

I once had a doctor tell me I had it, needed a hysterectomy at 24 with 6-10 months to live, that was um...29 years ago -g-

Earthquake likely to rock Victoria

When it comes to predicting "the big one," scientists still can't tell when a major earthquake will hit. But thanks to research by Simon Fraser University seismologist Andrew Calvert, they may have a better idea of where it might occur.

Using Canadian and American data from 1985, '89 and '98, Calvert, has determined a certain kind of earthquake is likely to occur on either side of southern Vancouver Island near populated areas in Canada and the United States.

"The closer you are to an earthquake, the more damage it's likely to cause," Calvert said. "The fact that we're having earthquakes occur directly below Victoria and Puget Sound means we're sitting in an area of some risk."

His findings are published in this month's edition of Nature.

Calvert determined there is a point on either side of Vancouver Island where one of the two massive tectonic plates that meet off the North American coast dips down below the other. It is thought earthquakes would occur at this so-called inslab point.

Inslab earthquakes happen when one tectonic plate -- in this case, the Juan de Fuca plate -- dips below the other, the North America plate.

The plates are continental and meet at a faultline about 200 kilometres west of Vancouver Island that runs from the northern tip of the island to California.
