In the modern historical record, the 160-mile-long Garlock fault on the northern edge of the Mojave Desert has never been observed to produce either a strong earthquake or to even creep — the slow movement between earthquakes that causes a visible scar on the ground surface. But new satellite radar images now show that the fault has started to move, causing a bulging of land that can be viewed from space.
“This is surprising, because we’ve never seen the Garlock fault do anything. Here, all of a sudden, it changed its behavior,” said the lead author of the study, Zachary Ross, assistant professor of geophysics at Caltech. “We don’t know what it means.”

Trumps fault.

Yes, and Congress needs to quickly pass a resolution so declaring. /s
Throwing a few virgins into the crack of the fault ought to take care of the problem, make sure that they are Earth muffins.
I wonder how an 8.0 earthquake in that spot would affect Las Vegas.
Get AOC on it! Maybe Greta can scream at it?
Not a lot. You’d feel it, but very little damage. I think.
Oh swell. And where are we going to find virgins in SoCal?
You might have to import them from Ukraine. For a few dollars extra, they come with certificates.
Is there a Comicon going on nearby?
“”We don’t know what it means.””
But it probably won’t be long before they find out. I miss CA but I’d take their earthquakes over the tornadoes and hurricanes in the South East any day! Or any other place in this country. WHERE isn’t there bad weather? I need to go there! WHERE is the grass greener?
LMAO!!
You can see Garlock’s bulge from space.
How about asking Greta to jump in?
Listen to the dishes jingle, the rumble and the roar... hey, I just had a great idea for a song... Thanks BenLurkin.

I wonder..
Hate to say it but California is due for a smiting.
