    How are they mysterious? The article doesn't explain WHY they are mysterious.

    It is the San Andreas Fault, there are SUPPOSED to be tremors and earthquakes

    Maybe you should read the article a little bit farther, tremors and seismic activity or earthquakes are not the same thing.

    Nadeau first discovered tremors deep in the San Andreas Fault in 2005. Before that, the phenomenon was thought only to occur in Earth’s subduction zones, where one tectonic plate dives beneath another.

    sensationalism is all it is....or maybe it's Mikey beating at the walls of Hell trying to get out. :lol:

    If you want to see seismically active this is an earthquake report from here. Hualien is on the east coast about 2/3 up the island. Beautiful scenery and clean air, but it gets nailed by typhoons all of the time and earthquakes/tremors are almost a daily thing.

    "The fact that the tremors haven’t gone down means the time to the next earthquake may come sooner,”

    It could also mean, that there will be no earthquake at all in the next 100 years, but we don't know that until it happens.
