Trillions of gallons of rain have already fallen on the state of California, and more rain continues to fall as I write this article. Billions of dollars in damage has already been done, but of even greater concern is what all of this water could mean for southern California’s fault lines. As you will see below, geophysicists have discovered that the additional weight that flooding puts on fault lines can help trigger earthquakes. Of course we have been warned for many years that “the Big One” is way overdue in southern California, and when it finally happens it will be a disaster unlike anything we have ever seen before.
Water is very heavy. If you doubt this, just try lugging a couple of gallons of water around with you for a while.
Now trillions of gallons of rain have poured down on California, and all of that added weight is going to put additional stress on the fault lines in the southern portion of the state.
A number of years ago, a team of geophysicists determined that flooding helped trigger major earthquakes in southern California “at least three times in the past 2,000 years”…
Geophysicists have linked historical earthquakes on the southern section of California’s famed San Andreas fault to ancient floods from the nearby Colorado River.
The work has broad implications for understanding how floods or reservoirs relate to quakes — a topic that gained new relevance in 2008, after a massive earthquake in China’s Sichuan province killed more than 80,000 people. Some geologists have proposed that impounding water behind a newly built dam there helped hasten the quake.

Interesting.......
if enough illegals keep going there it may just break off... you know like that island that the dude from GA said was going to flip over if too many troops went there
Time will tell very soon.
They been saying this since at least the Sylmar quake. Maybe there will be a “big one” in California someday, but no one has come up a proven way to predict it. If and when it happens, the last one to make the prediction will say he was right.
Hmmm...puts me in mind to watch an earthquake film about California tonight. Wonder if there’s one with Dwayne Johnson? He seems to specialize in films about disasters and he’s gonna save his family.
Guam! Two of my kids were born there in the 80’s.
This is BS. Everyone in SoCal knows that “earthquake weather” is when it is very hot and very dry.
...or you could watch 2012 where every possible natural disaster occurs all at once.
Everyone knows “It never rains in California”. They even wrote a song about it.
Over the past week I’ve seen many disastrous predictions about West Coast earthquakes. It just seems odd because aside from the statistical certainty that it WILL eventually happen, there is no sign that anything is pending.
I am chocking this stuff up to drama doom porn.
Middle-May 2024 is when I estimate the “Big One” will
strike in Cali, about 40 days after the April 8th (Big-X)
eclipse (...and Ninivah will be no more) YIKES!
We must drain the ocean!!
Doesn’t water act as a lubricant between hung up rock faces and reduces friction allowing the rock faces to slide easier?
