California Dodged a Bullet

If the West Coast had to have an earthquake, todays was a blessing by location. Keep those thoughts and prayers coming because this year isn't over yet. Every thing in nature happens in cycles. We saw Haiti, Chile and now Tijauna have greater than 7.0 quakes. The western pacific ring of fire has been active in the 6.0 magnitude range. I wonder if that area might see a larger quake next.  It's all part of the earth's balancing act. Our actions effects on the earth as a whole system cause a response. The pressure of humans on our environment has achieved a kind of critical mass. We are being warned by the erratic weather patterns, quakes, and volcanoes. Can we continue to ignore the direction and motivation of our growth on this earth?
