Data seems to indicate that the likely hood of a large earthquake correlates to the number of earthquakes happening. It may have ramped up and is now ramping down. It may still be ramping up. I still have server down there, really just have to migrate one storage unit the all hell can break loose and I will not worry.
Earthquake prediction is definitely a frontier area of research (and probably always will be).
As much as we might want to see correlations and patterns, there really are none.
We know one thing for sure - tectonic plates move and cause earthquakes - and those can happen any time.
It's all statistics and probability (might as well eat Pie in the Sky)
I like the fact that constant renewal by tectonics keeps things interesting.
Without that renewal, everything would just wear down until the Earth's surface was flat - kinda like living in Florida!
