M4.8 plus aftershocks San Andreas/Salton Sea
Posted by heartland chris on March 24, 2009 at 08:30:45:

There has now been a M4.8 in same spot (Bombay Beach) followed by a bunch of aftershocks. The focal mechanism is strike slip consistent with right-lateral on San Andreas fault or with left-lateral on a cross fault. See link.

The map of probability if feeling intensity VI (not magnitude) is at:
http://earthquake.usgs.gov/eqcenter/step//
and is between 1 in 1000 and 1 in 10 chance in next 24 hours (hard to tell by color scheme).

I imagine that seismologists are looking at this and something would be posted later on about this.
