[/quote] No my friend pressure and tenseness from tectonic plates friction was not released at Ca from long time ago, any time can crack somewhere at San Andreas fault or Juan de Fuca .. From 1999 only one M 6.5+ but that one was in Mex, EQ will come also think somewhere north of last one .. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2010_Baja_California_earthquake California waiting for big one and I positive EQ will come, when is very hard to say for now think in next 12 months but all sings are already there maybe except one ..

Some info after last EQ's in south CA at Salton Sea area ..
Also think stronger EQ will come from last EQ's of M 5.4, when I don't know for now but probably soon ..
Very dangerous area also months-years to California and West Coast for strong and catastrophic EQ ..
Thread: Three Earthquake in South California Around M 5.4 ..
Flooding of Ancient Salton Sea Linked to San Andreas Earthquakes
When its natural dimensions were in place, Lake Cahuilla and its surrounding region experienced in a 1,000-year period five earthquakes on the Southern San Andreas that are believed to have been larger than magnitude 7. The temblors occurred about 180 years apart. It's been more than 300 years since the last one.
"We've been baffled as to why the Southern San Andreas hasn't gone. It's been compared to a woman who is 15 months pregnant," said Scripps seismologist Debi Kilb, a report co-author. "Now this paper offers one explanation why."
The researchers cautioned that failure of the stepover faults is ultimately driven by tectonic forces and could still set off a major rupture of the San Andreas Fault independently of any lake level fluctuations. Other research teams have estimated that stress buildup in the area is still great enough to produce a quake between magnitude 7 and 8. The idea that the San Andreas is triggered by stress loading in the Salton Sea supports the assumption by many scientists that a future quake sequence could propagate northward and potentially cause significant damage in the Los Angeles area.
"Earthquake simulations reveal that shaking of large metropolitan areas such as Riverside and Los Angeles will be larger if the earthquake propagates from south to north -- our research suggests that the Salton Sea stepover zone may provide a trigger for such a propagation direction," said Scripps geologist Neal Driscoll, a report co-author.
