The particular type of earthquake described in these articles is unlikely to have any direct effects outside of the SAF area. Up here in the Pacific Southwest -- Vancouver/Victoria down to Portland -- we are overdue for a much much larger subduction quake of at least magnitude 9, which will cause widespread damage in all urban areas plus large tsunamis that will reach all the way across the Pacific to Asia. (It is estimated that 20-25 metre waves will hit large areas of the coast with less than 30 minutes warning.) Think of the Big One as the equivalent of all the energy from several centuries of Atlantic hurricanes being released in a few minutes. I just hope I have shuffled off this mortal coil -- or retired to a warmer clime -- before it finally happens, because it's going to be by far the worst natural disaster in North America since Canada and the US came into being.

The thing to do is keep snakes in burrows in your front yard. You may need to supply some heat. When the snakes come out and start slithering all over the ground and acting strangely, then it is time to head for the hills. Snakes can sense microseismic patterns presaging an earthquake two days out apparently. This was observed by Chinese Zookeepers in relation to earthquakes in China. Of course it's nonsense. There will never be another earthquake in Southern California.
