Predicted last week by psychic, Blair Robertson:

Here is the location from a 4.3 in Northern California from earlier this week. What is that facility that it was near? Looks very interesting from here in SF, as the video above references fracking. I have no idea what this site is, but it looks to be in the middle of no where -- right at the location of the quake. Thoughts???????

Note he said TREMOR...anyone will tell you that anything over 5 mag can be considered 'major'.
Living in Christchurch New Zealand, where we've had over 10,000 quakes since 4th Sept 2010, I can attest that anything over 5 is MAJOR. Even 4's are causing ongoing damage, and only last week we had 4 of those during one day, and it resulted in one of our major shopping malls needing to have a major portion of its shops CLOSED due to new damage.
Anyway, this 5.6 in CA might just be a foreshock to a much bigger one...what would satisfy your understanding of what MAJOR might equate to?
