I know. It is scary, especially, as within the past few months, our experts at Cal Tech have done an exhaustive study predicting a great earthquake on the San Andreas, originating in the Salten Sea area and working northward toward the Palmdale/Lancaster area. This is predicted with almost certainty to occur within the next 30 years and will have a hugh impact on all of Southern California. I have lived here all my life and have always been interested in geology (in my "next life" I want to be a geologist, ha, ha.) Unfortunately, yesterday's earthquake will have no effect whatsoever on relieving the strees on the San Andreas. For those who are interested, you can go to the USGS.com website and view all the earthquakes which have occurred in the recent past. It is amazing how many small earthquakes we have constantly, but they are too small to be felt. The earth is very dynamic and the tectonic plates are moving constantly.
