Many quakes from mid-80s to mid-90s. Quiet since then.
Will activity pick up?

Rick,

No doubt, sooner or later. Jim Berkland has been saying since last
October of last year I believe, that you're going to have a M:6.0 in
Southern, CA so it shouldn't be long now, right?

Given it's close in time, perhaps someone should hold a contest for
the next M:6.0 or greater in So Cal and see what happens.

Do you have your earthquake safety whistle yet?

Well we have a Total Lunar Eclipse Aug 28th. It has been shown that there is
a weak correlation between large (>6.0) EQ's and earth moon sun alignments.
Maybe this alignment will be the one that pushes a plate beyond its breaking
(slipping) point.
