Hello Chris,

It has to do with the recent activity on the San Jacinto, and the loop around Lancaster. (Is there a name for that?) It appears that when the two have an elevated level of micros, the Yucca Valley area then becomes more active, especially at the fork of the Homestead and John Valley faults. I understand that what appears is not always based on a full scientific analysis. If it does hit, then I would do further analysis on the historical seismic occurence there.
My predictions are clearly conjectural, being they are based on integrational obaservations of seismicity and the timing of these events. I am looking for clues just like every body else. If the clues begin to fit, then I take it further. Given the bar stress changes in the area created by Landers and Hector Mine, I would suspect some level of aftershock sequencing in the area. As such, I am not predicting new activity and I should have made that clear. In short, the area north of Yucca Valley "seems" to respond when San Jacinto and Lancaster loop have higher than normal micro seismic activity.
