I think that all of the big noise is about the technology that allows them to recognize subtle seismic shifts over long periods of time. We've known that we're 'going to get a big one soon' for years. Unfortunately, there is at least one city (from what I understand), Richmond, in the area that could be in trouble due to the fact that it is close to sea level and built on unstable ground of some sort. However, my brother, who is taking structural engineering assures me that all local construction for 10+ years has been taken on with earthquake codes in mind.

The whole time I lived in Italy, some of the local seismologists would cry wolf over the fact that 'Vesuvius is over due to erupt due to this arcane fact of seismology . . ."
Vesuvio remians an enigma, on geological time. It could blow tomorrow, or in 2112. It last erupted substantially in 1944.
Shakes, quakes and volcanoes are on a less predictable schedule than hurricanes, so far.

Krakatoa or whatever it's called... It's been showing some major activity too.
Scary!

True enough, the environmentally insensitive cad! :)
