Yes, i saw the news. I am not surprised. I lived very close to these fault zones for a long time. But a couple of months ago we moved to the Midwest.

My expectation is that there will higher activity on the 'side faults', before the San Andreas triggers. I could be wrong. Therefore, major quakes on the Garlock, up north around Lone Pune, and possibly transverse fault lines at Palmdale seem entirely possible.

I was very encouraged that they got the Earthquake warning system up and running. Practially speaking, what does it do? If you download the app, does your mobile phone start beeping or squealing ... when a warning is sent out?
