Study finds troubling pattern of Southern California quakes

The southern stretch of the San Andreas fault has had a major temblor about every 137 years, according to new research. The latest looks to be overdue.

I took a quick look at my frequency tables for southern California earthquakes over the last couple of years and noticed a 150 percent increase in frequency year over year starting with the Jupiter alignment with the New Moon in June 2008 a month before opposition.

Sounds scary...hopefully the fault isn't too unstable...
