Dunno why I only just now noticed this, but there has been a swarm of small quake occurring about 7-8 km west of Anza, CA. Anza is no stranger to quakes being close to the San Jacinto Fault Zone, but this cluster is well away from there.
This swarm appears to have started on the 3rd, but has really picked up in the last week.
I'd be tempted to say we could expect something bigger, but I wouldn't go so far as to make a prediction. I just wouldn't be surprised. Yet, this is away from any know faults, not that that stops quakes form happening.
I'm about to go to bed, but tomorrow I'm going to take a closer look at this area and it's history. I expect the Hauksson relocated data set should show something interesting.
Here's a link to a zoom on the USGS map. Gosh, I wish their links weren't so nasty looking, so I made a tinyurl of it.
