California is not going to fall into the ocean. It is at the top of two tectonic plates which are sliding relatively north and south against each other. It appears that the Gulf of Baja and the peninsula was a result and continues to be. Such movements resulted in many earthquakes.

To add to the above list.

17 October 3.0 Oceanside, CA

18 October 4.2 Bethel Island, CA

Wonders if these numerous recent quakes are pre-shocks for The Big One (8.0 and above)? Or many little shocks that serve to relieve pressure between plates thereby reducing the likelihood of The Big One anytime soon (of course in geological time).

Today marks the 30th anniversary of the north ridge earthquake which hit Los Angeles on January 17th, 1994. The news coverage is amazing to watch even all these years later, with the amazing sight of both water and fire on streets in areas of Los Angeles.
