A sudden lateral movement of 7 to 10 metres would be among the largest ever recordedYikes!

What's being done? It's obvious that President Bush just doesn't care about Mexican people.

Has Al Gore been consulted on this?

Back in 1989, the Loma Prieta Earchquake caused the San Andreas to move some 30 feet on the Southern end, and only 6 feet on the Northern end. That energy has to go somewhere, some time. It will be like a slingshot.

Yes, but this is San Andreas Fault, not Bush's Fault.

Don't ya know, it's ALL BUSH'S fault!
Maybe they'll rename it the Bush Fault.
Only God is in control of this.
Ooops, the left hates Him too!

Everyone in SoCal would be wise to have a months supply of everything. A quake on a huge scale would most likely knock out all 4 aqueducts supplying LA, seeing as how they all cross the San Andreas at some point. LA itself is about 100 miles from the fault though, so shake damage probably wouldn't be to awful. Palm Springs would be obliterated, and Riverside and San Bernadino would be hit hard.

I've lives in California all my life, and I've been hearing this since I was about 5. How is this news? "The Big One" is about as much a part of California lore as the 49er legends.
OTOH, developers are having a field day in the desert nowadays. 30 years ago a big quake out there would have shaken the hell out of the Marine base and damaged the resort cities, but the major population centers were far enough away that serious damage would have been minimal. Nowadays we have developers building practically right on top of the fault, and the cities in the desert are getting HUGE...LA has sprawled all the way out there.
A big quake would be very, very bad for them, but that's the price of living in California :)

So...what about San Diego? Just tremors, right? :o) *fingers crossed*
