Before 'crashing' earlier, I made a last pass of the USGS Earthquake site. A 6.4/6.5 in Tonga was of major interest until I saw a 4.9 in Westmoreland, CA. Checking into it, the community is just south of the Salton Sea and very near the last segment of the San Andreas. I drilled down to the '0.0 and greater ' table for the past 24 hours and got a surprise. Before the 4.9 they had 102 tremors, most between 23:00 and 00:31 UTC. At 00:31:27, the 4.9 struck. Since then 355 tremors have struck with a 4.5, 4.2 and 3.5 thrown in the mix.
The USGS says tremor swarms are geothermal in nature. Well, we have a mix. The 'mud pots' are to the NNE of the community and exlpains the 'swarm', but the shocks are associated with the fault. According to the USGS.
I don't think so. I had only been asleep a couple of hours when the numbers '6.9 to 7.9' ran through my head, then repeated a couple of more times. Then '7.9' ran through my head about a dozen times. Then the 'zinger' hit: 'full margin rupture'. I realize that last is in reference to the Cascadia, not the San Andreas.
My brain is saying, 'The southern segment of the San Andreas goes first and the Imperial Valley and Salton Sea 'subside' and become the seabed of the Gulf of California. Sometime later after a string of large earthquakes, Cascadia goes.
Praying for more insight.G.B.
