Thanks Brigette.

The smaller quakes are no big deal, sometimes kind of fun. Today's earlier quake was a bit unnerving, even though it was small.

The cluster of big quakes is very alarming. The seismologists today said that there is still no way to actually determine whether we're close to "the big one" on the San Andreas Fault or not.

Dr. Jones of CalTech said that basically the only certain prediction is one of random occurrences.

Quakes are, by their very nature, sudden changes of state.

So it's really a form of chaos theory. Statistics and history are almost not relevant.

That's why I take all the "we normally have 3 7's in a month" bs to be just that, bs.
