What actually makes this the "weakest" lull in recent decades, is the fact that a tiny 5.7 is the strongest one (during the last 17 days). I don't think that has happened since global earthquake coverage was implemented.

You said it right Kickin, basically it has to release the pent energy, it can't be dodged. I would not want to be within 1000miles of the epicenter of what comes.
