Not that we know of ;)

Seriously, there was an earthquake in LA a few years ago that stunned
geologists because the epicenter was located in a spot they thought
was empty of faultlines. Course, with the quake data they were able
to identify several major faults at and around the epicenter. If it
doesn't move, they don't know about it until it moves.

So.. we all know that pressure is building along the San Andreas fault
(the big one). Its entirely plausible that the pressure could build
to the point that a new fault could be created if the San Andreas
doesn't slip (the energy has to go somewhere).
