If I am remembering correctly TM mentioned
in his/her first post that he/she came in on the
first quake thread found. I guess he/she didn't
look around much.
Anyone else remember exactly how that was
said?

He had been posting in the Quake watch (jalosangeles) and maybe switched over to the Arkansas thread because he knew alot of the same people were on that thread and it wouldn't be as obvious as posting on the Quake watch...just my 2 cents
The Salton Sea upwards towards San Bernardino, and I stress that this is MUCH more of an "at risk" area for the USGS in Pasadena. Recent activity to the South, just across the Mexican boarder, has had many geologist on edge. I have specific information indicating that a "major seismic event is imminent" and that "human and structural loss would exceed the current capabilities of both Federal and State emergency services". The inside information that I have indicates a major event that is imminent. In geology terms, that translates to "within weeks". I also want to stress that the USGS is specifically concerned with something called ground acceleration, or the force at which the ground physically shakes. The expected "PGA" or "PHA" is off the charts, which many geologists are saying could "potentially trigger additional significant seismic activity on faults within the region". This supports the theory of a major "cluster-quake" event that, within a few hours, could generate multiple earthquakes measuring in excess of 6.5+ on various faults within a very small region. It's basically, "the mother of all seismic events". Imagine the "big one" (8.0) followed by Northridge (6.7), followed by Landers (7.2), followed by an LA Basin quake (capable of generating a 7.0 earthquake under the most densely populated portion of the city), and so on and so on and so on. The theory of the "cluster-quake" is that the seismic event could last for "days".

t, I remain skeptical. But if there is new data and studies out there discussing the reasons for this increased awareness of a potential big one, please share this with us. Im sure you could U2U someone on this thread that would post this data for us and you. But the bottom line is, the plates are in motion and heating up. Big ones.....probably everywhere soon as far as I can tell. In fact they already are happening. And all that released pressure is going somewhere else. The tohoku EQs in Japan sent a massive chunk of energy our way via the lithosphere. Both the Cascadia subduction zone (CSZ) and the New Madrid Fault (NMF) have been absorbing energy for 200 to 300 years without really moving. And move they must. Its the law of earth physics. I give the CSZ a year. It will set off the San Andreas and other localized fault systems. When these go, so goes the NMF shortly afterwards. Im just thinking out loud. The thing I use as a predictor is Edgar Cayce. In a trance he said that the big one along the CA coast would happen 3 months after the second sister erupted. Two famous volcanoes are considered the two sisters by most (and for the life of me I cant remember which two), but I like a different theory that says that the two sisters are actually Mt St Helens and Mt St Helena. Helens blew, and it's well known that the geysers area north of Mt St Helena is the most seismically active area in the lower 48. If Mt St Helena starts acting up, sell the ranch quick.
**** Closest post to date. And, yes, I do log on to read what people are writing as I cannot be responsible for information being entirely leaked. You should ALL doubt me. In science, skepticism is the most priceless position. Nothing came from our MB yesterday, (simply stated: Morning Briefing). People are trying to piece a ton of information together and this science is so very new and the data sometimes contradicting, so you can imagine their hesitation. Bottom line; there is specific and credible information supporting theories being presented, modified, and redetermined on literally an hourly basis. Please reread GESS. Some of you are nearly spot on in theory. I remain skeptical myself, however I have been around this world for many years and never before has science pointed in one direction more. Stay prepared.
