Just a matter of time in the SF Bay area. We had a 5.6 last year (early 2008- the strongest since Loma Prieta) and the Hayward fault in the east bay is at about the average time between large quakes (there’s creep all the time).
I have a job inspecting a 1963 built apartment building about 300 feet from it Tuesday and hope it doesn’t hit while I’m there!

It has been interesting to me to see the swarms of “mini” quakes (1.0 to 3.0 mag.) in California. Some have been at logical spots like Clear Lake but others are up and down the plate margin. If you Google Earth with the earthquake layer on, you can see the clusters.
