And I'm sure the reporter misquoted a lot (i've been there - I know how that can happen) - Yes - the San Jacinto is capable of better than a 5.1 - even Lucy Jones agreed with that when she referenced the 6.6 in 1986.

I KNOW the times he's talking about are in reference to the San Andreas and not the San Jacinto - Tom Rockwell knows his stuff and he gave some historical background on large quakes in the area - and probably was trying to point out that we're past due for the San Andreas to pop.

But don't ask me - ask him... you can get his e-mail from the SDSU web site.

And Bob! Yes, Susan Hough is still talking - I think I posted a CBS article here just the other day where she was quoted.
