San Francisco Bay Creep and strain
Posted by Lowell on April 20, 2002 at 21:51:10:

Also look at the Creep event in the San Francisco Bay area that occurred during the
recent geomagnetic storm at:

Also look at the 90-day creep history to get an idea of how unusual this creep event
actually is

This may have been related to the tensor strain event in the area on April 17 - see

Again, you can see the infrequency of such strain events in the San Francisco Bay
area at:

Looks like something is happening in the area in a geophysical sense, but not
sure yet how this translates to a strong earthquake in the near future, if at all.
