My partner and I will be away on Feb. 6, hope to attend another Meetup in the future. And
Wikimania sounds great, closer to SF and to public transit is better. (Sorry to be an SF
''chauvinist''.)
Editorial Comment -- Hopefully, the Wikimedia Board has contingency plans now that
they've moved from FL to SF . . :)
I've been boring friends with this for three years, so take with as many grains as
salt as you like. (And this has nothing to do with the current events in Haiti and Eureka
CA . .)
Since November 2006, now more than 3 years ago, there have been small quakes every day in
increasing numbers near Alum Rock Park, just outside of San Jose. There was a 4 on
10-30-2007 and another 3.5 a couple of weeks ago. This is where the Hayward and Calaveras
faults meet (5 miles or so underground) --and where there hasn't been a major quake
since 1868, so it's ''overdue''. (Nothing to see on, for instance, the
Craigslist link to quakes, since the USGS map ''rolls over'' every few
days. And nothing in the media, since most are small, no one pays attention to cumulative
effect, and there is no recognized way to predict equakes.)
Always a good idea to check out
www.72hours.org or
www.ready.gov to review your plans . .
. whether this current series equakes increases or fades away. I've lived here 33
years, and this is the first time I've seen a pattern like this.

This looks like a good topic to discuss during the February 6th SF
Wikimania meetup.
