What is earthquake weather. Is there a anomaly in the San Andrea Fault near San Bernadino?

Answer 1

'Earthquake weather' usually refers to very wet weather above a slip dislocation since this will increase the chances of the face sliding do to the increased weight of the two masses as well as water working its way into the fault and acting as a lubricant.

Yes. There is one pisser of an anomaly at the east end of the San Bernardino Mountains (down around Whitewater and along the road going up to Morongo Valley and Old Woman Springs. In the last century, the west side of the vertical fracture along that line has risen by almost an inch due to lateral thrusting from the San Andreas. That's one helluva lot of potential energy setting there.

If you want to have some -serious- fun, go down to the Whitewater area and sink a shaft about 2 or 3 thousand feet down and then start pumping silicon oil into it at about a quarter million PSI.

And wait........ ☺

Answer 2

I assuming this refers to the electrical storms that often occur before an earthquake. This is because the dilation of the earth just before an earthquake allows charged particles to escape and can cause lightning!

I'm certain this has been recorded along the San Andreas Fault Zone
