Because of so few quakes recently, as of today, May 11, the projected total for 2011 is down to 3115. Still, that's significantly higher than historically.

Yes it is. The average for the short history, until recently, has been about 1500 per year, based on USGS data. We'll have to see how 2011 finally plays out. Currently 5+ are double the historical average. Very significant indeed.
