Yea the way the quakes are heading up the coast most yanks will wish they don't hit the yellowstone giant one that is sitting semi dormant there. If she does blow then not one yank will have no time to kiss there butts goodbye....

Are Earthquakes Really on the Increase?
We continue to be asked by many people throughout the world if earthquakes are on the increase. Although it may seem that we are having more earthquakes, earthquakes of magnitude 7.0 or greater have remained fairly constant.
A partial explanation may lie in the fact that in the last twenty years, we have definitely had an increase in the number of earthquakes we have been able to locate each year. This is because of the tremendous increase in the number of seismograph stations in the world and the many improvements in global communications. In 1931, there were about 350 stations operating in the world; today, there are more than 8,000 stations and the data now comes in rapidly from these stations by electronic mail, internet and satellite. This increase in the number of stations and the more timely receipt of data has allowed us and other seismological centers to locate earthquakes more rapidly and to locate many small earthquakes which were undetected in earlier years. The NEIC now locates about 20,000 earthquakes each year or approximately 50 per day. Also, because of the improvements in communications and the increased interest in the environment and natural disasters, the public now learns about more earthquakes.
According to long-term records (since about 1900), we expect about 17 major earthquakes (7.0 - 7.9) and one great earthquake (8.0 or above) in any given year.
The maps are of earthquakes that have occured. None are about predictions, at last not the one you linked.
Heres the latest theory on what is causing these earth quakes.
Global warming of course!
Guardian: Global warming to trigger “earthquakes, tsunamis, avalanches and volcanic eruptions.” Watts Up With That?

I have to thank my ISP bug for rerouting a search over to the first one and giving me my laugh of the day too! I would have never went looking otherwise!
So take them for what ever you think they are worth.
Please don't use foul language in this thread. That topic has been banned, and we aren't suppose to mention it ever again, or face banishment (or worse, a weekend with Al Gore). Funny stuff though, will have to print it.
Besides would you prefer I find the links to the Aliens or the Illuminati that are behind the earthquakes?
I did some humorous para-science related reading today!
