There’s a course this lawyer should take. It’s called ‘geology’.
In fairness, Doug, we ARE in the midst of an “earthquake swarm.” 6 of the largest 13 earthquakes of the past century happened in the last 10 years.
The last earthquake swarm (1950-1965) generate 5 of the 13 largest earthquakes.
By contrast, none of the 25 largest earthquakes of the past century occurred between 1965 and 2005.
