    Perhaps we need to start handing out what I call "Vitamin H"

    Haldol or Haloperidol

    All vitamined up, we can approach the latest bad news calmly:

    S. O. Akciz, L. G. Ludwig, J. R. Arrowsmith, O. Zielke. Century-long average time intervals between earthquake ruptures of the San Andreas fault in the Carrizo Plain, California. Geology, 2010; 38 (9): 787 DOI: 10.1130/G30995.1

    Almost certainly behind the publisher's paywall, but if you're curious and can't visit your local library, I can probably snag you a pdf. By all apprearances this is a careful update of Kerry Sieh's backhoe work of the past few decades. The summary is that the big-shake return time may be shorter than we had thought. Or hoped.

    It is certainly the best-studied disagreement between crustal plates in the world, but there are still a lot of unknowns.

    If you keep "predicting" a once-in-a-few-hundred-year event, you get to be right eventually.
