Thanks for posting this article Tony...

Wow, with this, and what Canie posted and an article I recently found (I'll sum it up here) we in socal should expect a big one literally any minute.

The on in this article suggests the Carrizo Plain segment pops with a 6.5 to 8.0 quake every 100 years, we are not at 150 since last one, the one Canie posted does indeed show an image with this area very pregnet, as well as the desert and the area north of the valley.

I found an article written 10 years ago talking about a quake deficit in the LA area. There are 2 schools of thoughts, each one disagreeing with the other, but each school shows we are on borrowed time.

School 1: LA Basin based on study of creep movements, strain, uplift of mountains and satellite imagery, should be experiencing quakes in the 6 range every 10 years and quakes in the 7.5 range one time per century.

School 2: LA Basin based on same data as mentioned above should be having a 6-7 quake once every 40 to 50 years and 7.5 quakes about every 150 years.

As we all know, LA has had none of these averages of school one or 2 but yet it is fact that there is massive deformation occuring and again, now we are seeing these strain images and this article from Tony, really makes you wonder.
