Just reporting something interesting...
There have been 4 microquakes on the San Andreas in the past 3 days... in the same spot - near Indio California
Looking at the list here... I noticed a small pattern of regularity...

It started on April 8th.... (times are UTC)
1.5: 2011/04/08 08:12
16 hours later...
1.4: 2011/04/09 00:01
28 hours later
1.3: 2011/04/10 03:57
35 hours later... a short while ago...

It will be interesting to keep an eye on Indio CA for the next few days - to see if the quakes continue to grow farther apart in time... or if these are foreshocks. This IS near where many scientists think the "Big One" will start.
It amazes me Californians go about their daily business of building new homes and roads in such a disaster prone area... especially in hindight of Katrina, Indonesia and now Japan.
I think it's time to evacuate L.A. and southern California, BEFORE it's too late!
