The good news about Thursday's 6.4-magnitude quake... is that it happened in an unpopulated area of the Mojave Desert about 100 miles from the main San Andreas fault. The bad news? "The probability of a 'big one' hasn't changed at all," ...
"You realize the last big earthquake to hit the L.A. segment of the San Andreas fault was 1680. That's over 300 years ago. But the cycle time for breaks and earthquakes on the San Andreas fault is 130 years, so we are way overdue. In any given year, the probability of the big one is 3% in any given year."
Because of that inevitability, he said California residents should get prepared now.
"Learn about things you can do for the family. Talk to your family, kids, loved ones, what to do, stock up on food, water in case of an emergency. Go have an escape route. Get hooked up to the internet or radio or whatever. Be prepared, basically, because it will happen."

Way over due
I have to wonder about an expert who makes disaster recommendations to make sure you have internet access. If "the big one" hit LA, people will be lucky to have power, much less internet.
“Be prepared, basically, because it will happen.”

Get out now while you still can.
The “expert” in question is a joke. Some celebrity scientist they keep on retainer.
Yeah, have that talk right after you have the conversation on race. Aldo after you have the conversation about non-binary gender self-identification.

Oh goodie! When is it going to happen? please let it crack and separate CA from the civilized world, and let it sink into the ocean.
Yes made me chuckle, these people are way through giving advice on anything.
Ha! You can’t say California never gave anything to civilization.
They gave you Right Turn on Red.
Seattle is way overdue for a major earthquake.
The New Madrid fault in Missouri is overdue as well.
I’ve heard just about everywhere is prone to some sort of natural disaster. I’ve heard that Florida has among the least earthquake risk of any state, yet is prone to hurricanes, for example.
I will now wait to hear from AOC before I firm up my previous comment
If it’s big enough you have to get in doorway, you prolly can’t.
Quiescent, the earth is not....Worldwide Earthquakes from 2001 through 2015
LOL. And the banks have the money. All you have to do is push some buttons on the ATM, and it spits out money to you.
But it has sinkholes swallowing up houses and cars.
And due to the 100 year old pipes, no water
30 years ago we were 30 years overdue.. sooooo...

If the wildfire don’t get ya, the quake will.. eventually.
