There has been a lot of movement on the other side, this side is due.
8-9-2007 Small earthquake hits Los Angeles area
A small earthquake hit the northern Los Angeles area just before 1 a.m. (4 a.m. EDT) on Thursday, waking residents across a broad swathe of the area, but there were no immediate reports of significant damage.
The 4.5 preliminary magnitude quake was centered 4.1 miles north-northwest of the suburb of Chatsworth, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. It was extremely shallow, at only 3 miles deep.
Residents reported a strong jolt, followed by a lot of shaking. Some said pictures fell off walls, water sloshed around in toilets, and television sets wobbled on cabinets. A police spokesman said the quake triggered hundreds of alarms.
It was followed by two aftershocks, both with a preliminary 1.6 magnitude.
Chatsworth is just six miles west of Northridge, the epicenter of the magnitude 6.7 quake that killed 57 people and injured more than 9,000 in 1994.
====================================================
Scientist's and Politicians have been mum about it but the sensors have been going nuts last few months.
Consistent 5's off the coast of Oregon, 4.0 SW of Salt Lake today.
A series of 1.5's along the New Madrid up and down the Mississsipi.
A ring of a lot of small shaking all around California.

8-6-2007 4.0 earthquake shakes central Utah
The 4.0 magnitude earthquake struck at 2:48 a.m., 14 miles southeast of Mount Pleasant, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.
The epicenter was in the Huntington Canyon area, about 100 miles southeast of Salt Lake City.
=================================================
All suggesting there will be a very large slip of the plates along or near the big San Andreas very soon.
Edit
8-6-2007 HUNTINGTON, Utah - Six miners were trapped by a cave-in Monday at a coal mine five miles from the epicenter of a minor earthquake, authorities said
The Genwal mine reported a "cave-in" at 3:50 a.m., an hour after the magnitude 4.0 earthquake, the Emery County sheriff's office said. "Rescue workers are on scene trying to locate six miners that are unaccounted for," the sheriff's office.
There has been no contact with them, said Dirk Fillpot, a spokesman at the Mine Safety and Health Administration in Washington.
The miners were believed to be 1,500 feet below the surface, about four miles from the mine entrance, Fillpot said.
Update 2: Cave In was the Earthquake, nevermind. Looking at all the activity in Utah lately it has to have been an Earthquake that caused the cave in.
