Guess I better take a shower while there is still water service.

“According to the USGS, preliminary data indicated a roughly one percent chance of a magnitude 7 or greater earthquake being triggered on the Southern San Andreas fault within the next seven days with the likelihood decreasing over time.”
They can’t predict earthquakes but they can predict that the chances of them decreasing over time??? I thought earthquakes are the result of the increase in pressure over some time until it pops...

Do the laundry too. That is what one Freeper said they would do on the eve of Y2K.
I am in Oregon but plan to get some lawn mower gas today in sympathy.
To: shotgun
there are a number of faults there so it isnt just a pressure release on just one of them, potentially.

You’re not out of the woods unless you’re way far inland. The Pacific Northwest could suffer a more damaging earthquake than California.

This is the third set of Brawley swarms in the last 12 years. Each one adds more pressure to the southern San Andreas which is already almost 150 years past due for a 7+.
The big fear is that once the SA does let go it won't be a localized quake, but instead will 'unzip' all the way from the Salton Sea to Monterey.

You might be more concerned with a huge earthquake caused by a failure of the Cascadia plate, followed by a 100- foot high tsunami. Good luck!

There are two bends that caused the original subduction zone to rise from the sea some five million years ago and become the slip-strike fault that it is today. It's the two bends at Landers and Fort Tejon that prevent the kind of unzipping that you fear.
There would have to be three separate zips for a complete unzipping: Salton to Landers, Landers to Fort Tejon, and Fort Tejon to Monterey. A big enough quake could unzip Salton to Landers, but it could take years, decades or even centuries for the next unzipping to Fort Tejon to take place.

Hmm. Maybe I'll walk down to the beach and see if anyone would like a sailing passenger. Surely Idaho FReepers will take pity on American refugees.
Sing along

Salton Sea is shallow, so it’ll split open down the middle of the fault line and Cthulhu will rise out of the maw and begin wreaking havoc on the... oh, wait, that area’s pretty much a desolate wasteland already. Never mind.

There were several earthquake swarms further north in the Owens Valley a few years ago. (Late 1999 I believe.)
But where several fault zones cross each other, a swarm of small quakes could relieve pressure on all of them, or increase it against the final line that has not moved.

What’s the problem? If the legislature can ban cow farts, surely they can ban earthquakes.
