There was an earthquake in Haiti, then (last night) there was one in Chili. Are we next in line?

There is that huge fault line in California (San Andreas) which practically splits the state in half vertically and if the tectonic plates started to shift out in the pacific near the state, yes, it could happen and seismologists feel it will in fact happen in the next 100 years or sooner. The magnitude is also another consideration and so who knows. It’s looking more and more like the movie 2012 every day.

Statistically speaking, yes. But there is no "line" unfortunately. It is just as likely for another earthquake to strike Haiti again before one hits here.

i think so.. but its not gonna happen right away.
people found clues that something diasterus is gonna happen in California mid 2010.
So far this is the order:
Haiti(Not to long ago 7.0 earthquake)
Japan(Yesterday 7.3 earthquake)
Chile(Today 8.8 earthquake)
