1. I checked the link but it doesn't say if this is NOW or predicted.

How does this earthquake info work? Is this similar to the warnings we got for Katrina, or very iminent?

4. However, those are all small.

Repeated, frequent 2.0s or 3.0s might be something to pay attention to, or they might not. Actually, if a fault blows off steam through smaller quakes, that can be a good thing.

6. There are 10,000 quakes a month in CA.

Just tiny ones.

3. No, that's usgs's up to the minute earthquake reporting site

As a Californian, it's a wonderful tool. But it only deals with what has been going on; no predictions.

5. Looks like the biggest one was a 4.6, yesterday.

This could indicate something, but it could not. As of right now I don't see anything to get too excited about. But then I'm used to looking at those maps and seeing lots of little squares!
