Distant early warning

The AP has a report of two 'minor' earthquakes off Eureka and Santa Rosa in Northern California:
The U.S. Geological Survey says in a preliminary report that the first quake had a magnitude of 5.1. It struck at 2:27 a.m. Sunday about 41 miles southwest of Eureka and 208 miles northwest of Sacramento at a depth of 11.5 miles. The second was a magnitude 4.1 quake that struck one minute later farther south, about 40 miles west of Santa Rosa and 74 miles northwest of San Francisco at a depth of about 3 miles.
Rico says he remembers the 'big one' back in '89, and hopes these aren't precursors...
