    WILLOW CREEK, Calif. - A moderate earthquake has hit a mountainous region of Northern California. There are no immediate reports or injury or damage.
    The U.S. Geological Survey says a magnitude-5.2 temblor struck at 8:03 p.m., centered about 11 miles southeast of the town of Willow Creek in the Shasta-Trinity National Forest.
    Shasta County Sheriff's Detective Mark Haslam says the department has received no calls about the earthquake.
    A dispatcher at the Humboldt County Sheriff's Department, just west of the epicenter, says there are no immediate reports of injury or damage.

    Another link of quake.

    Yea, I am wondering what the hell is going on here? I felt one in Tennessee the other day (with many aftershocks in IL after it), HUNDREDS of quakes in Nevada and Reno...HUNDREDS of quakes off the shores of Oregon, now a 5.2 in N. California? Seriously, what in the hell is going on with this earth? Is something BIG coming and just building up, or is the earth just a bit restless and "stretching its legs?" I have always wondered what the redistribution of weight on this earth has something to do with this. Think about it, oil is very heavy...we have been taking oil for over 100 years and putting it in different parts of the world...making the Middle East lighter and other places heavier...so the balance HAS to be off now. Also, with the ice melting and the oceans filling up with that much more water...it HAS to change the literal balance of the earth and the weight distribution. Could all this force some serious earthquakes? I think so.

    WIseOne, your theories, in my opinion, are on the right track... I've thought along the same lines for YEARS.

    What scares me is the fact that over behind the foothills behind us, there is what I have always thought of as a faultline. It looks like a "seam" down there in the valley. But geologists refuse to recognize it as such. But it sure seems strange to me that after the big quake in Coalinga back in the 80's.. here was a fence going over that nonfaultline out there in that valley, over a hundred miles from the epicenter, that was suddenly offset by more than a foot and a half... Makes you wonder, doesn't it?

    And now they are planning on building a full size, population 50,000, community right there in that valley, right over that nonfaultline!

    A lot of this has to do with the planetary alignment that is happening.

    Just punch in 2012 and read and look at what NASA has to say also.
