It's just plate movement, it happens every 14 monthes, and pressure build up everytime it happens until the pressure reach the peak level, that's when a major earthquake will happen. Don't worry man, it's just a warning of possible earthquake everytime the plate moves.

As far as I know although the pressure keeps building up but the chance of "the big one" happening is still not that high. Of course this time it could be, but not likely. Maybe you should move to Vancouver for this week!? Canuck335i, where did you get that information?

I was under the impression that it was quite obvious... in my head.

No one can predict exact day for an hearthquake, even less precise time...

You guys are still there ?







Actually what the news did say is that the chances of a major earthquake occuring within 2 weeks has increased a lot, BUT the likelyhood that an earthquake will actually occur is still fairly low. So I would not worry really.

Looks like they're reduced the threat indicator slightly...and they're saying the next window of plate movement and potential of the big-one is April 2008.
