I just noticed that one myself.
The west coast is worth a close watch in the coming days.
A 2.8 magnitude earthquake occurred in "Santa Barbara Channel, California" (Longitude: -119.488°, Latitude: 34.281°, Depth: 0 meters) on April 3, 2013, 2:59:49 AM UTC.
Potential earthquake faults offshore Southern California, from the eastern Santa Barbara Channel south to Dana Point
The eastern Santa Barbara Basin is deformed by large active reverse and thrust faults, and this area appears to be underlain regionally by the north-dipping Channel Islands thrust fault. These faults could produce moderate to strong earthquakes and destructive tsunamis. On the Malibu coast, earthquakes along offshore faults could have left-lateral-oblique focal mechanisms, and the Santa Monica Mountains thrust fault, which underlies the oblique faults, could give rise to large (M ~7) earthquakes.
Offshore faults near Santa Monica Bay and the San Pedro shelf are likely to produce both strike-slip and thrust earthquakes along northwest-striking faults. In all areas, transverse structures, such as lateral ramps and tear faults, which crosscut the main faults, could segment earthquake rupture zones.

I think similar ..
Probably soon in next days we will have stronger activity and EQ of M 7.2+ somewhere worldwide, also more activity on west coast ..
Last one of M 7.2 + was on 2013-02-06 Santa Cruz ..

PASADENA, Calif. — Scientists at the Caltech Seismology Laboratory were at their computers last week when a warning popped up on the screen: “Earthquake, earthquake!” The initial magnitude of the quake, 100 miles away, was 5.2, the alert said, and a countdown clock warned that mild shaking would reach here in 40 seconds.
Ms. Hutton was enjoying, as it were, the benefits of an ambitious if unfinished earthquake alert system for California, intended to one day give as much as 60 seconds’ warning of an approaching quake — to hospitals, emergency response workers and anyone near a cellphone or computer — in an attempt to reduce the casualties and the damage that officials have long feared were as inevitable as another huge California earthquake.
Last month, state lawmakers introduced legislation calling for an expedited program to raise the $80 million needed to complete the program, but acknowledged they did not know where the money might come from.
The delay here is, in one sense, testimony to human nature. It has been 19 years since the last significant quake rolled through California — the magnitude 6.7 earthquake in Northridge in a corner of the San Fernando Valley in 1994 — and memories of its damage and psychological trauma (some people moved away) have softened with the passage of time.
“I don’t think it’s a huge amount of money, particularly when compared to the billions of dollars in damage that we associate with every major earthquake,” Mr. Padilla said, adding, “I really don’t think any state official wants to answer the question ‘Why didn’t we?’ after the Big One hits and we haven’t deployed the system.”
“I think you get mentally ready,” she said. “We think it will reduce panic.”

An Iranian official quoted by Reuters said hundreds of dead were expected as a result of the quake. "It was the biggest earthquake in Iran in 40 years and we are expecting hundreds of dead," said the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity.

Ok I will post some dangerous days for strong seizmic activity for rest of 2013, that days can effect San Andreas fault to rupture in very strong EQ ..
Also dangerous location from Japan - China - Turkey - Italy to have very strong EQ's with many casualties ..
Next days to end of April (next 35 days) and days from 16 to 23 June, also we will have super full moon for this year on 23 June ..
Perigee - Jun 23 11:11 356989 km ++ F- 0h
Full moon - 2013 Jun 23 11:34
I expect at sensitive area very strong EQ of M 8.0 + from 16 to 23 June, for next 35 days we have several very dangerous days so I will post danger for all 35 days and we probably will have very strong seizmic activity worldwide and probably EQ of M 7.5 + ..

Still unstable there also nuclear plant is only 90 km up at fault line ..
Hope nothing strong will come but have possibility one more equal or stronger EQ to come here or at this fault line in next months, also think have more % to north to Turkey from south of last one M 6.3
The official People's Daily quoted the China Earthquake Administration as saying that at least 124 people were so far confirmed killed in today's earthquakes that hit near the city of Ya'an. More than 3,000 were injured, and 383,000 people in 33 counties were affected by the disastet
With new research predicting a significant chance of a massive, tsunami-generating earthquake off the Oregon coast in the next 50 years, Pat Corcoran finds his services in more urgent demand than ever.
He says lives can be saved if coastal residents and visitors are aware of just three things:
* what to do when you feel an earthquake on the coast
* where the high ground is wherever you are, and how to get there
* how to reconnect with loved ones once the event is over
Until recently, scientists thought the undersea faults off Oregon were subject to rupture every 500 years or so. But recent research by Chris Goldfinger of the Oregon State University marine geology and geophysics program suggests the cycle is more like every 240 years at the southern end of the fault. Given that the last tsunami-generating quake to hit the Oregon coast occurred in 1700, we’re overdue. Goldfinger predicts that there is a 37 percent chance of a tsunami-generating quake within the next 50 years.
Megathrust earthquakes occur in subduction zones—like the one just off the Oregon coast—at the boundaries where one tectonic plate is forced under another. Such quakes are among the world’s strongest, with magnitudes measuring up to magnitude 9.
Shows a possible history of southern San Andreas fault ruptures from a study by Sieh, Stuiver, and Brillinger, 1989. They deduced the rupture history from the interpretion of disruptions of sedimentary beds in cross-fault trenches and from data collected after historic earthquakes.
They show ruptures during major earthquakes in 1100, 1346, 1480, 1680, 1812, and 1857 AD. Especially impressive are two huge events, in 1100 and 1480, that appear to have ruptured the fault from the Salton Sea to central California, more than 300 miles. Note that within the dating uncertainties, some of the long ruptures could have actually been two or more shorter ones that occurred closely in time.
Beijing, May 7 (Prensa Latina) Chinese authorities reported today that 729,341 residents of Sichuan that were affected by the 7 degree earthquake were resettled, while a greater number of people will receive subsidies to ease their situation.
According to reports from that Southwest province of China, more than 780,000 people will receive aid of 10 yuan daily ($1.62 USD) and half a kilogram of cereals for a six month period.
The governmental program by Ya'an city, where Lushan and other towns affected by the April 20th earthquake are located, will also aid people that lost their homes and residents without stable incomes.
According to the report, shelters have already been equipped with television sets and radios and school activities have been almost completely restored.
The earthquake caused 196 fatalities, with 21 missing, more than 13,000 injured, and more than 1,500,000 people affected, with economic losses still unrecorded.
Some 57 tons of essential goods were delivered, including blankets, canned food and electricity generators.
Russia earlier delivered more than 13 tons of humanitarian aid by plane to Sichuan on April 28, the ministry said.
The 7.0 magnitude earthquake struck Lushan county in southwest China's Sichuan province on April 20, killing about 200 people and injuring more than 12,000. An estimated 100,000 people have been left homeless.
