Most here in California have experienced a 5 , quite a few a 6 , not as many a 7 and God help us if an 8 hits.

just a fwiw.

Make sure your survival packs and supplies are OK.

Expect delays in any rescue or humanitarian efforts and plan for minimum of 72 hours on your own, at least.

Volcanic arcs and oceanic trenches partly encircling the Pacific Basin form the so-called Ring of Fire, a zone of frequent earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. The trenches are shown in blue-green. The volcanic island arcs, although not labelled, are parallel to, and always landward of, the trenches. For example, the island arc associated with the Aleutian Trench is represented by the long chain of volcanoes that make up the Aleutian Islands.

Extend it out another 20 years and make it 100%.

IIRC this came out in the early 70’s:
“DAY AFTER DAY
(Tommy Reynolds / Stuart Margolin / Jerry Riopelle)

Shango

Day after day, more people come to L.A.
Ssh! Don’t you tell anybody the whole place is slipping away.
Where can we go when there’s no San Francisco?
Ssh! Better get ready to tie up the boat in Idaho.

Do you know the swim? You better learn quick, Jim.
Those who don’t know how to swim, better sing the hymn.
Tuna at the bowl. Fine fillet o’ much soul.
Whoo! Whoo! What can we do with a bushel of wet gold?

If the first couple of miles from the coast would fall off into the ocean Cal. would become a Red State over night.

I am suspicious of just about all doomsday reports, particularly if they're coming out of CA.

CA is the HQ of the envirowackos. A LOT of people there have a LOT invested in global warming. Right now there's a big fight to keep up the scam. Even this report could be an attempt to prop up the general atmosphere of fear-hype.

I’ve been through 3 over 7 in the Los Angeles area and several in the 6.5 range.

6.5 is no big deal.

If these so called scientests would quit trying to study fault movement they might learn something, the fault movement is the result of an earthquake.

A volcanic explosion deep underground which causess a vertical upheavel and a wave action radiating outward in all directions is the cause.

There is no horizontal movement in an earthquake.

The fault movement is caused by the vertical vave moveme t that releases the built up stresses in the plate movement and allows it to move and relieve the built up stresses.

I’ve done the repair work on a lot of buildi gs after the 3 major quakes and all major damage is done to the walls that are parellel to the epicenter, the walls perpendicular to the epicenter sustain minor or no damage.

The major damage is done to buildings on soft ground where the wave is unhindered rollong through the building lifting and droping sections in succession. On granit or hard rock formations the wave is dampened and damage is minor.

Depending on where it hits, a 7.0 earthquake can be very minor. I was in Vegas when i believe was a 7.0 earth quake hit between Vegas and LA. Woke us up, but I no one was injured. Now if it is centered much closer to a populated area, watch out.

Make sure your survival packs and supplies are OK.

More important is to first make sure you are OK with Christ! He who created the universe owns the universes. He who owns the universes makes the rules and is the ultimate judge. And His name is JESUS.

First get right with The Christ and then make sure your survival packs and supplies are OK.

If you live in Southern California, you’ll understand why this is my favorite Site. “Clicking on a region will take you to an enlarged relief map of the area, with local faults highlighted in a variety of colors,(Then Click on THAT MAP) and linked to pages detailing information about these faults”. Last Major etc. I Love This Stuff! I mean if you live here, you might as well be aware of what’s gone on beneath you in the past.

Its going to happen. And the loss of life and damage will be on a scale we haven't see in this country is because California is heavily populated and with so much infrastructure built on top of the state's many faults - seen and unseen.

I’m in West Hollywood. SO happy to not be in one of those high-rise apartments. I’m in a little house with nothing on top of me and no parking garage to be collapsed into.

New calculations reveal there is a 99.7 percent chance a magnitude 6.7 quake or larger will hit the Golden State in the next 30 years. The odds of such an event are higher in Southern California than Northern California, 97 percent versus 93 percent.

OK, is it me who is math-challenged here, or the sources for this piece?

If the odds are 97% in NorCal, and 93% in SoCal, doesn't that average out to 95%???? (Not 99.7%?)

If you divide the state into Northern and Southern sections, does that leave a part not being computed here?
