First a fresh lava field erupts off the coast of Oregon, then mystery plumes erupt from lava fields all the way up the west coast from Pisgah area north to the washington state line... a 6.0 magnitude quake hits Baja California, then a hill side in Santa Barbara (just north of Los Angeles) begins to smoke and steam...

now.. due south in San Diego, we hear about the ENTIRE county/city having hundreds of people calling 911 to report the smell of "burning petroleum" .

Since the hill side to the north of Los Angeles was reported to be "burning tar" from deep underground.. this leads me to believe we are seeing a very large seismic event take place on the west coast (when you factor in the above events of the past couple months).
