“According to the USGS, preliminary data indicated a roughly one percent chance of a magnitude 7 or greater earthquake being triggered on the Southern San Andreas fault within the next seven days “with the likelihood decreasing over time.””

They can’t predict earthquakes but they can predict that the chances of them decreasing over time??? I thought earthquakes are the result of the increase in pressure over some time until it pops...

there are a number of faults there so it isnt just a pressure release on just one of them, potentially.
