>A swarm of minor earthquakes in September 2016 led the state to convene an emergency session of California’s earthquake prediction evaluation council.
>What they saw from the seismographs was alarming: One sequence of the swarm had come to within about six miles of the terminus of the southern portion of the San Andreas fault.
>Having a swarm of significant quakes occur so close to the terminus of the fault was worrisome. The northern portion of the San Andreas was responsible for the earthquake that devastated San Francisco in 1906. But the southern portion, which runs within 3o miles of Los Angeles, has not caused a quake in several hundred years. There is a growing worry that this quietude is unlikely to last.

http://www.ocregister.com/2017/03/10/what-are-the-chances-of-a-major-earthquake-in-southern-california/

>The U.S. Geological Survey 2014 earthquake forecast indicates that the likelihood of a moderate earthquake – between magnitude 6.5 and 7.5 – has decreased, but the chance of a higher-magnitude quake in the region has increased.

How do you feel that the entire state of California could be utterly destroyed at any given time, and it's becoming increasingly likely?

Spotted the /pol/-propaganda-munchers. Are you really so spoonfed that statistics like "giving more money to the federal gov't than is receieved" mean nothing to you?

Are you really such morons that a sunny state with agriculture and technology, rolling hills and large cities, snow and beaches seems like a bad place to live? Are you so brainwashed that the thought of living around people who think differently causes you to break out in hives?

Better break open your /pol/-approved comeback and "evidence" folder for why happy Californians are evil fools that have worse lives than you.

The money there is simply because it's the location of business HQs, which would hop ship to their East Coast HQs if they felt the threat was critical. Same with the Silicon Valley shit simply shuffling upto Seattle where they have plenty of tech ventures anyway. The Agriculture would temporarily be a loss but it would be a trade of that to get rid of the Fleas that inhabit the urban centers that are literal shitholes that have been lingering on life support. The prot cities can be rebuilt in a better and more efficient manner after the happening, depending on the changes in landscaape it also might mean more viable farmlands

>>
>>133887025
Longer than 30 fucking yours, you fucking retard. They've known the destructive power of the San Andreas since the area was first being settled, and earthquakes were recorded. The 1868 quake was a 6+ quake, that was well known across the country, and the 1906 quake in SF is the one that made scientists start investigating. The San Andreas was identified in 1895, and a scientist in 1953 revealed that the fault ran for hundreds of miles more than suspected, so they've been well aware of the destructive power of the San Andreas since 1906, and the extent of the potential damage for over 60 years.

No.

The San Andreas is a slip-fault. Qukes in the midwest would have no effect on it - especially with those little things called the Rockies between the two locations.

You're making up correlations where there are none. Go study geology for real. It's an interesting topic and field, and then you won't make unrealistic and flawed comments like this.

I'm saying that since the drilling in OK, we've had less big ones in Cali. My hypothesis (completely untested) is that when Cali is "hit" the shock is being absorbed in the mid West.
Possibly the craton (edge of Rockies to east coast) is less stable, less rigid now, and is able to give a little during those shocks.

The New Madrid Fault zone is a remnant, or a scar, of the contintent-shaping events in the early history of the planet. They're in the middle of the north american plate, and have no connection to any other fault lines, and the area of impact of it is limited to the states on top of it. It's simply a weakness in the crust in that area. The San Andreas is part of the movement of teh North American plate and the Pacific plate. The impact of quakes in Japan have no effect on quakes in Alaska, or California, even though they all border the Pacific plates. For the New Madrid to generate enough energy to effect the movement of the North American plate vs. the Pacific plate...the energy would need to be so enormous, it's literally planet-threatening.
I'm sure you entertain yourself looking at dots on maps, but you have to study what's actually going on mechanically, and understand things like tectonics, to understand what's going on, and how what you're making up is literally impossible.

I mean, you do understand what an earthquake is, right? I have this feeling you don't.

You guys do realize that a giant California earthquake won't actually kill that many people right? Only 3,000 people died in the 1906 earthquake that destroyed all of San Francisco. With today's architecture being up to code, the chances of deaths being that high are rather slim.

Even if an earthquake was strong enough to completely split the fault line, Cali wouldn't just fall into the ocean, that's ridiculous. It would just become an island separated from the mainland by a river that will gradually widen over the years.

Any tsunami large enough to do damage will only affect beach areas, and communities settled along the mountains will be at risk for mudslides, but that's pretty much it. There's a bigger chance that large death tolls could occur in various ghettos where some homes are cheaply constructed, but that's basically it. It'll be costly, but not in terms of human life.

desu the problem would correct itself with a large enough quake.
Degeneracy is a product of good times, some slightly suboptimal times would force people to snap back into reality or get out. Imagine if everyone suddenly lost access to social media and hormone therapy

The San Andreas isn't the kind of fault that creates tsunamis. There are faults like that up near Oregon, subduction faults, that have created large tsunamis. There are, however, faults out in the ocean floor off the southern California coast that could create one, that are completely separate from the San Andreas.

You're right, in that a large quake along the San Andreas wouldn't kill many people directly - it's the loss of infrastructure and services that will kill people. (And looting and crime)

"Splitting the fault line" is a nonsensical statement. The San Andreas is the result of the border of two plates moving against each other, one going north, the other south. For a crack to be made to isolate LA as an island...impossible. It's not how it works - and the energy needed for that would probably destroy everything on the Pacific Rim. It's energy of unthinkable magnitude. We know what the San Andreas is capable of, theoretically, and it's not even a fraction of a fraction of a fraction of the energy needed to do that.

Most of the San Andreas is in unpopulated areas, but LA and SF sit right on it, so the damage will be focused there. Sacramento will be okay. Look at the Loma Prieta - the damage didn't go past the East Bay, barely hit the North Bay, and was localized in the south because that was the epicenter.
The real danger for SF is that there are 6 faults in the bay area besides the San Andreas that can generate large earthquakes - the Calaveras, Concord-Green Valley, Greenville, Hayward, Rodgers Creek, and San Gregorio Faults. The worry is, if one of them goes, they're close enough they might trigger the others, but it's theoretical at this point - the Loma Prieta didn't trigger them.

The real worry in large magnitude quakes is collapsing buildings, freeways, and fire. Fire did more damage in 1906 in SF than the quake did. Fire did a lot of damage in the marina, in the Loma Prieta.

But it would annihilate a huge not insignificant important chunk of a liberal bastion.

You might actually see a huge back lash against socialism/communism.

how is it like in nigger land?
>>
>>133893350
That would be the marina. The land that was built over landfill liquified.

All things considered, the Loma Prieta was a BIG quake. I was in it. I'm still kind of surprised there wasn't more damage than there was.
>>
>>133893643
Native? Nigger I moved here from Florida in 2015. I have yet to feel a tremor.

The only thing that told me there was a tremor was my monitor jiggled once at work.

Pussies, the lot of you.
>>
Because of the type of fault, slip-type, Cali will never have earth quakes above a certain magnitude.

Though, it did have an 8.4 back in the day, it'll never get much bigger than that.
>>
>>133894447
Because we haven't had anything big enough worth paying attention to. Most of us wouldn't have even noticed that monitor jiggle. The last one worth mentioning was the 2014 napa quake and that was only a thing because some old church got damaged.

>>133878922
I'm ok with everyone dying. not so much with a flood of the worst americans flowing east.
>>
>>133893548
Pretty much. There are pockets where it's gentrifying, but International is still the wild west/congo. I try not to be in that area, unless I have to.

But, you know all of it will go back to shit, when the housing bubble pops, just like last time.
>>
>>133894683
People on my office had their Pampers poopered over it.

I remember when that Napa one happened. Day after I got my offer letter. Hope a strong one happens so the bay bridge can collapse and sink that shitty millennium tower or cause it to fall into that ugly ass glass dildo that's the sales force Hq

I feel tremors all the time, up here in Norcal, but I've been feeling them since the 80s, when we moved here. Little ones that make the house creak, or the bed shake. There was a 2+ last week, that I felt when working here at my desk. We're always moving. There are tons of little faults all over the bay area that generate flurries of teeny quakes, on a constant basis. Most of them at best feel like a truck driving past the house.

They've been saying this for years, and even when the big one strikes, it'll be like Japan in 2011 where the tsunami does the bulk of the damage. This isn't Haiti, where everyone lives in corrugated steel shithuts, we have building codes and standards to deal with this.

Oh well, we can adapt. An economy run on shitty apps and other stuff in silicon valley isn't worth the degradation of our society that has come at the hands of that state. We're going to be mining asteroids and doing more important things for humanity soon, let this earthquake wake us the fuck up and get started. The end of the narcissistic age of apps, iphones, and social media fertilization will usher in a new era of a better America. When Trump said Make America Great Again, this earthquake is what he meant.

Your deaths will be celebrated around the country, your graves spat on, and we will finally be able to deliver our final solution to the leftover faggots on the East Coast. Don't worry, you will be joined in hell by them shortly thereafter.

The three branches, island drifting away, belly of the dragon, and idols speaking and moving about seem plausible. The last one should be changed to every single fucking celebrity this country worships like false idols getting up and moving about to speak against the President. The Syrian missile strike, Golan Heights, ISIS taking control of a few streets in a moderately sized Filipino city, and the Trump-Putin meeting are too small-scale for a prophecy.
