Here to get info on earthquakes

Believe it or not, 686 is not that large of a number (it's down to 620 btw).
Especially since alot of those are aftershocks (the number was over 1000 about a few days ago).
Who are these scientists that believe the big one is near?
Many scientists believe the SA fault is overdue for a large quake, but no one is saying that it's near. There's no way of telling that.
