Saw the report too and you did a nice summary here. (Wow, just got an ice pick stab to my right temple-new symptom-ouch, that hurt!). As we all know now, RB covers the area they talked about. There are 37 remaining PRs for RB and they now range from 10MM+ to 270MM- and there are only two of the 10Ms, which means that 35 of these PRs, by their duration, are meant to product +5 or better EQs. Given my life time, that hardly seems possible that we could get that many bigger quakes across the US in the near future, but that's what appears to be on tap---given the PR history to date.

There are 26 TL PRs remaining and they range from 2MM to 180MM (now in critical) and these are promising +6.3 and above. 60Ms have produced +8s in the past, so only God knows what a 180M is to produce! Given the rule: the longer it takes, the greater and/or closer the quake to me, I am assuming that most of these quakes will occur in the western hemisphere and most likely to our south...although we can't rule out the Atlantic. The Bible says the earth is to be split open at some point during the last days and the Atlantic Ridge pulling apart could forfill this precidtion. Scallon has said the split will occur in the middle of Pacific, but, as far as they know, there is no plate line there, while there is in the Atlantic.

Whatever, it's a scary thing to even consider and most seeing the PR big picture would say I am most likely nuts to be putting much stock in them producing such quakes in the near future. But, until something big occurs without a PR to match, I've got to go with these being true.
