Only 1-2 over 4.0, nothing to worry about. If anything, this is a good thing, loosening up the faults and making the big one weaker.

This.... Long periods of no earthquakes means lots of fault tension...

I've studiesshowing both, numerous small quakes loosen tension and numerous small quakes portend the big one. We'll see...

....or a volcano?!  This kind of high frequency small EQs are recorded around volcanic  eruptions.
I've been watching this sites for years, i know small EQs are normal for CA,but never seen 50-60/hour;maybe something is wrong with USGS data feed;

As far as I understand the amount of energy released from one big quake exceeds a hundred small quakes by many many orders of magnitude.  So I would theorycraft that these small ones are more likely to trigger a big one than they are to relieve pressure off of a big one... because they don't relieve any significant pressure at all.  However as I'm not a seismologist, I'm prepared to be told that I'm wrong.
