Hi Chris. I know the one your thinking about, but can’t find it now. It may not be on the net anymore. I did find a number of links that date back before the time frame were looking for.

Just out of curiosity I plotted the main event on my topo map. The event is west of the San Andreas Fault by about 3 miles. It’s at the base of the Cholame Hills. It is very close to the M>3.8 that occurred in 2003 in which considerable tensor strain was seen. There was almost no tensor strain seen with today’s quake. At least it wasn’t as much as the smaller quake last year.

The following is from a ABC news article. I believe the date on this is either Feb. or March of 2004.

(Rundle, a specialist in complex systems, says he turned to earthquakes because they are an interesting "threshold system," and if he can figure out what makes them tick, the same method might be applicable to other fields.)

(But none of those fields is more complex, and more vexing, than trying to pin down just when and where the next earthquake will hit. The field of earthquake prediction, or forecasting, is littered with failures by people who thought they had figured it out.)

(There is a little yellow dot on Rundle's map in the Cholame Hills of Central California. The dot signifies that there is a fair potential for a large earthquake in that area during this decade, and it sits squarely on a rural community called Parkfield.)

I would sure love to see the location of that “little yellow dot.” Take Care…Don in creepy town
