Yes, there will be dozens of earthquakes in California and Nevada today. Some are imperceptible. As a native Californian, we don't get alarmed unless it is over a 5.0.
If you would like to see the listing of earthquakes that have occurred in California and Nevada, go to:
http://quake.usgs.gov/recenteqs/FaultMaps/121-36_eqs.htm
When you are on that webpage, in the upper left hand corner there is a link to the map, which will show you where they are occurring and their magnitude.
The study of earthquakes (seismology) is a fascinating. subject.

There are measurable earthquakes in California EVERY day, so your friends are essentially telling you nothing. Ask them how big an earthquake will occur--the bigger the magnitude, the less likely will the earthquake, and the more impressive will be your friends' prediction if it comes true.
