Think they're not related? It's only a coincidence?

Both quakes occurred off the perimeters of the North American plate.
See the North American plate . . .

http://www.windows.ucar.edu/tour/link=/earth/images/earth_plates_usgs_L_2_jpg_image.html

The smaller Gorda plate off the north coast of California is sub-
ducting in a northeastwardly direction under the North American plate,
applying northward and eastward vectors of force to the entire plate.

Haiti is located also on the North American plate over the southern
subduction zone that extends in fault-lines between a number of the
"microplates" forming the Caribbean tectonic group of plates, but in
this case with Haiti, namely, the Enriquillo-Plantain Garden fault
zone. It begins under Lake Enriquillo in the Dominican Republic and
extends so far east as Jamaica.

Clearly, the strike slip quake at Eureka brought sufficient pressure
against the North American plate to produce another eastward going
strike slip along the deformation at its southern perimeter.

What else?

Whoops. ". . . so far west" is what that should say. Maybe Sarah Palin
and I should enroll together in a refresher geography course. Then
after class, maybe she'll invite me over to look at Russia from her
house.

Sarah's busy these days. She'll probably end up hosting the
Tonight Show.

The San Andreas fault has about 40 feet of northward displacement
accumulated since the 1906 SF quake,

http://ncweb-north.wr.usgs.gov/recenteqs/latest.htm

1990s ran about 200 earthquakes displayed over a week window. See the
center that is always quiet? Some folks say it is deep serpentine and
lubricious, hence no temblors from differential movement. Some folks
say it is pinned, hence no temblors from differential movement. GPS
markers are "ambiguous" (yeah, it's pinned). When that cuts loose,
plus a fat Mach-Stem wave at the far terminous... FEMA will be greeted
with cannibalism.

What will be Obamanation's proximate response to the massive mulching
of California? Emergency studies followed by vigorous caution and
intensive preparation to act.
