Never say never, we’ve had two over 8.5 earth quakes in the past few years, one in Indonesia and now one in Japan. There is no reason why California won’t have a big one over 8 as well.
To: americanophile
Earthquakes the size of the one that struck Japan on Friday are highly unlikely ever to hit the California coast,... ...until one does.

About the time you say “it will never happen here” is just about the time it will happen. It is best to plan for the worst case scenieros, but hope for the best to happen.

An asteroid could cause a tsunami too.

There are unusual swarms of earthquakes taking place around the world....including a recent one in Poland for the first time in umteen years.
This took place today:

No temblor greater than a magnitude 8 is ever likely in California, say scientists at the U.S. Geological Survey Oh yeah, trust your life to the people who wear gov't IDs.

Now that it has been said that it will never happen, it is going to happen.
Like someone said, never say never again.
To: americanophile
Could be Oregon next. We can’t predict the future..
To: SumProVita
Just spotted a fresh 3.8 in West Texas. Look at the line the mapped quakes makes connecting through the New Madrid area.

No temblor greater than a magnitude 8 is ever likely in California, say scientists at the U.S. Geological Survey in Menlo Park. Wisdom of science ping.

It wasn’t the quake but the tsunami that did so much damage to life and limb.
Northridge was pretty damaging, IIRC.

Hasn’t Arkansas had swarms of small earthquakes this past month?
