What did I do to offend you?
I’ve got family and friends in CA.
LA is probably 50-60 miles away at it’s closest from the fault.
Where did that image originate. Just curious.
Just drove through your county this morning. Just got home an hour ago (Florida). I didn’t feel any tremors though while there

BTW, there is no tectonic scenario where any significant portion of California “falls into the sea”.
The worst, or most interesting possibility depending on where you are, (I’m a geologist) would be if either the Central Valley shook long and hard enough to cause a significant sediment consolidation in areas and they back filled with sea water until equilibrium was reestablished OR activity raised the area of the golden gate enough that it restricted the outflow of water.
Another item of awesome coolness would be if a volcano was going to form there like Paricutin.

CADDY SHACK
So now we know what geologists do at 1 AM, sit up all night and wonder if there is a doG:) Will you take calls at 3 AM?
What is you worst case awesome coolness scenario for the Cascadia Fault.
I haven’t really thought of that since I’m not in the prime area and probably couldn’t get there in time. My mom was pregnant with me at Ft. Lewis while dad was stationed there during the 65 Puget Sound earthquake, she’d related I was born in one, which would have had to have been an unrecorded aftershock as I came out a few months later. She was at the clinic when the main one went though and got to waddle around the hallway dodging carts and other stuff.
My running joke is the most seimically stable area on earth appears to be wherever I’m located. Nothing in VA for near 20 years and then after I’ve moved out here they have a 5.8...
If you live in CA, stock up on some bottled water and camping meals, I’m driving to the Field Target National Match in Michigan next week...
Thanks. Good luck at the match.
