niceguy,
a little more earthquake news for you.

cnn.com

6.1 central Taiwan.

I may be wrong, but I thought California's fault is due to two plates shifting. Japan is very close to three or four plates intersecting and shifting. Much more movement.

Niceguy,

40,000 earthquakes in one month? volcanoes erupting recently? Fortunately doesn't sound like anyone hurt...California seems like a benign environment by comparison..

Don't kid yourself. California is as high risk geologically as any place in the world. The 1906 earthquake completely destroyed the Bay Area, and the most potentially dangerous active volcano in the world is located here (the Long Valley Caldera.)
