New research suggests that a newly discovered 'structure' in the San Andreas fault line could result in a massive earthquake, often referred to as the "big one."


quote:

The geological study, written up in the journal Lithosphere, detail that there is a 15 to 20 mile-long stretch of the San Andreas fault that could result in an earth with a magnitude of seven or greater.

The research put the odds at 75 percent that it would occur in both northern and southern California sometime over the next 30 years.

Then when it doesn't happen they can say "We said it was only 75%!"

Earthquake happens: "see how right we were? Give us money!"

No earthquake: *crickets*

I’m more worried about the 20% chance of the Cascadia event in the next 50 years
