Hello Russell,

I think those are Eurler Poles, but we need somebody well versed in tectonics like John Vidale. Again, I am looking at the larger picture like you are. My question is if a large quake strikes up north, should we expect something in the south because of the larger mechanism. In a regional sense, the models of Coulumb stress change are much better known. Both Landers and Hector mine added Coulumb stress change to the SAF in the Indio area and the northern San Jacinto Faults. Those would be good bets for the next 5+ quake. I will post a few of the quakes that I am talking about(north-south relationship) Again I want to recheck some things, and basically clean the data up. Takes time... Let me know what you think.
