Felt it a little out here in San Diego, heard the windows rattle.
I'm in north county Escondido

I'm impressed with your thread, information and certainly the timing!
My concern for this current swarm near the Sultan lake is the pattern. There seem to be numerous events, over a wide-spread area with various depths. So not your typical forshock, main and aftershock scenario. My impression is of an area breaking up.
Hoping this not the very pre-cursor you were talking about the past day or so, but man...it could be.

I don't know how you do it.... I guess it really doesn't matter how. Its a fact you can.
I do hope your feeling or "how to" is not accurate to a point of the BIG ONE coming, as these appear to be foreshocks.

We have many information that next 'Big One' at San Andreas fault coming in next years or even soon ..
This information coming from scientist and geo-seismic experts also from some ..
You all know how is difficult to predict 'Big One' for this area because fault line did not rupture more of 100 years for San Francisco area, 155 for Los Angeles to Parkfield area and 330 years for Mexicali to L.A area ..
This section of the fault from L.A. to San San Francisco has an earthquake-recurrence interval of roughly 140–160 years ..
At the time the population of Los Angeles was about 4,000, today Southern California is home to 23 million people and the fastest growing areas are near the San Andreas and other major faults also ..
If you look through historical available information this suggests that the big rapture sequence from south to north of San Andreas fault line because of movement Pacific Plate and the North American Plate in right-lateral strike-slip (horizontal motion) also time from last big EQ's on San Andreas fault line ..
So 'Big One' probably will be at area of around Mexicali to L.A. but not necessarily, also think is important to put maximum information about this "events" ..
Like I say is very hard to predict next exact time for 'Big One' here but think is possible developments for this events will be in many sings before EQ and then will not be a lost time, I spend years to understood what can helpful or useful..
I will put one of most important things how i see possible situation development and about foreshocks that can lead to 'Big One' ..
Think this can help a lot so people in this areas to have time to prepare mentally and physically in hours advance before 'Big One', think this time that period probably will be from 1 to 48 hrs or several days ..
So think very probably we will not have here 'Big One' suddenly, foreshocks will happen before and lead to big rupture and think most important EQ is area of central California around Parkfield area, EQ's in this area think over M 5.5+ and especially M 6.0+ can lead to 'Big One' in some 1-24 hrsd, EQ of M 6.0+ on San Andreas Fault Line! also can lead to 'Big One' in hrs advance ..
We had a similar situations but think now will happen like is described and will be nice if you put your opinion or similar, I will post more about this dangerous possible foreshocks and EQ's which can lead to next 'Big One' ..
I put some info only about time that come, 'Big One' is unfortunately inevitable and will come only is matter of time to release from long time this locked area ..
California, slip rates for faults range from 0 to about 38 mm/yr, though anything over 10 mm/yr is generally considered fast (a slip rate around 1 to 2 mm/yr might be considered average for a major, active fault).
The rate of slippage averages approximately 33 to 37 millimetres (1.3 to 1.5 in) annually across California
www.data.scec.org... ; en.wikipedia.org...
Geologists say an earthquake capable of causing widespread destruction is 99 percent certain of hitting California within the next 30 years.
Studies have said that a 7.8 magnitude quake could kill 1,800 people, injure 50,000 more and damage 300,000 buildings.
