To try to get it up about 8,000. right now they say they're at 6,700 pounds per square inch and happy with that. saying that that pressure continues to rise at a steady rate. that is good news. and that is -- they didn't offer much of the detail s except to describe had some of the works the robotic cameras below the surface what they were doing. looking around on the ocean floor around that blowout preventer and haven't seen any damage to the ocean floor as well. so all good signs as to how we expected to proceed from here and what kind of decisions will be made still haven't been made. so th...

There in california. you have the san andreas fault. here we're in the middle of a plate. there are faults underneath the crust. certainly down around the i-64 corridor, a fault. many minor faults. generally speaking, not large enough or active enough, fredricka to produce earthquake. the last time, 20, if not 30 years, it's been a while for sure. >> we'll hear about it from plenty of people that we know. rob marciano, thanks so much. all right. it is day 88 in the gulf oil disaster, and for the first time in nearly three months, no oil is gushing from bp's ruptured well. look at image there...

Ruptured well may not be plugged for good. we have to keep tabs on it until the weekend, obviously. ed lavandera is live in new orleans for us this morning, and, ed, any sense how well the well is holding up at this point and all of that pressure that's building up in inside of it obviously bp is keeping a very close eye on that this morning. >> reporter: the visual, what we can tell, the fact that the test is still going on that is a good sign. so the fact we're not seeing more oil spewing into the gulf of mexico, that's good. we're also expecting a technical briefing from bp officials here i...

So they like the way things are moving at this point. but as you heard the president mention, so far no decisions made as to exactly what will happen after this integrity test is over. but the longer it goes, the better news that is. it is clear that that gives the scientists, the experts many more options in their decision making as they move forward. they are doing a series of seismic testing, sonar testing to kind of gauge the integrity of all that ground around where that blowout preventer is. they say they want to make sure that pressure does not damage that. that is the critical part so ...

Happen next hasn't been -- that decision hasn't been made yet. so it really depends on what we are seeing but we do know that going into this integrity test, the longer that it lasts, it was supposed to last about 48 hours in best case scenario, the longer it goes, the better news that is. they could have easily have shut this down last night had there been any major problems or concerns with pressure readings and what kind of damage that could have done to the well casing that goes deep into the earth. so for now, everything is looking good. the fact that we're still talking about this and lo...
