Quakes randomly occur

Martin,

After having gone thru earthquake catalogs time and time again, I can assure you that this is a normal thing of going several days without any M3+ activity. That is the nature of the beast which highlites its randomness. That is what makes predicting quakes based on cycles very difficult.

To note, I've seen periods of 10+ days without M3+ activity without anything major happening afterwards. Its just the nature of the beast.
