Where is the next earthquake or tsunami?

[PLANT]

So P&G Had one any recently do you think there will be another this year?

Or somewhere else on the fault line?

Here's an indication of where and when the 'next' earthquake will be:

Had not realized so much activity was occurring each day. Thanks RooFlyer.
There are signs on the north side of LAX indicating a tsunami risk along Lincoln which is Highway One around the wetlands at Playa Vista.

Most quakes are tiny and you'd never feel them. This isn't a bad backgrounder.

The link above was set at 2.5 magnitude and above; 3 to 3.5 is the threshold for feeling a quake locally. The earthquake 'scale' is not linear- here's an idea of how the energy increases as the number rises:



As I noted elsewhere, the fun thing about an earthquake 'wave' is that, unlike a sea wave which curls over its top as it comes towards you, an earthquake wave rises up from the bottom and curls back over itself as it moves forward. Imagine if the sea did that.

That's left out a few big ones such as Tokyo 1923 and sendai 2011 both at ~9 on Richter scale so just under the Alaska one.
