In response to "quake swarm on San Andreas fault near mexican border worries geologists -- (link)" by zeitgeist

1% chance of an M7 in the next week in SoCal. But there's also a swarm up near me; around here, that activity is helpful for the fault.

Little slips over time ease the pressure off and hopefully stop a big slip from happening.

Of course, sometimes a little slip in the wrong direction will jog something loose and cause a disaster - so that's also a possibility.
