See the San Andreas Fault before it's gone...new study!!

From today's LA TIMES: Researchers find major quakes on the southern section, on average, every 88 years — three times as often as previously thought. It's the strongest evidence yet that we're overdue for a massive quake! Thomas Jordan, director of the Southern California Earthquake Center, said the fault is "locked and loaded. It's been a long time since an earthquake has occurred on that fault — over 150 years."

Today: A Magnitude 3.6 Earthquake - 8.3 miles deep and 10 miles from Palm Springs near Cabazon, CA. See map below....look for the red square just left of Palm Springs. That was the location of the 3.6 earthquake. Below the map are a few photos from our San Andreas Fault Tour!
