one of the strange things in California right now is that there has been a lull, or quiet period, in large earthquakes. if you look at the stats, there are about 4-5 large quakes (Mag 6-7) every 25 years. but since the year 2000, it has been very quiet. probably this is just some sort of random anomaly, because I don't see any reason why the forces in the ground would have changed. but one thing is for sure, we do seem to be overdue for something big to happen. where and when is anybody's guess.
