A "pre-shock" is only recognised as such after a larger "main shock". At the moment all they are is normal everyday earthquakes.
If it was that simple to identify when "the big one" was coming don’t you think someone would have spotted it by now? Like an expert in seismology, for example?
L.A. and surrounding areas is always having earthquakes of varying magnitudes. If you know that these are somehow different to all the others I’d be fascinated to see your evidence – backed by years of careful and well-documented research of course.
