Okay, I'm no geologist but I've paid attention to the map above, on an almost daily basis, for years. After all, living in California, earthquakes are a subject of interest.
The map above is an active or vital display changing as quakes occur throughout the area. In my experience, going back about 10-15 years, this map has had an average of 350 to 500 quakes on it. You'll notice the total for this morning is twice the high end of that range; nearly 1000 quakes.
In Southern California, the legendary home of the San Andreas Fault, the news stations are treating that blob of quakes near Reno, NV, very casually, announcing, "Experts have warned the residents of Reno of the possibility of a major quake", but have interviewed no one. It seems to me that this is short sighted and that some sort of major event is getting ready to happen in which no one has shown an interest. Look at all of those small quakes throughout the State of Nevada. That is not normal!
What's going on? Inquiring minds want to know.

But but..
isnt that what we do now? I mean its not specific to earthquakes. We see the same headlines day in and day out and get numb to the affect of it.
So here they say... ya ya its an earthquake in Reno.. but they see so many that they dont care.. they being the media. I can only trust that there is someone out there who DOES care, who gets paid to care and can at a minimum see that there is a spike in the number of ... earthquakes, prices, etc..
I see your quandry but I think its epidemic of today's society. TOO much info means not enough consciousness to what is truly meaningful and what is just more info.
Shrug..
I hope you don't turn into an island soon... Get to higher ground!!!
Love ya
