Hello-

This morning we had a M2.8 quake about 4 miles west of us out in the 
ocean and about 5 miles from the San Andreas fault that runs to the 
East of us. It was on a minor fault that runs parallel to the San 
Andreas. The shock knocked my data acquisition computer off-line, but 
was strong enough to jiggle the pen on my drum recorder that also was off line!

I am wondering if the movement of the minor fault will add strain or 
relieve strain on the San Andreas fault (add or decrease the chances 
of the San Andreas fault letting-go).

I would appreciate any thoughts or opinions on this from you PSN folks.
