Study: Calif. faces 99.7 percent chance of big quake by 2037


quote:

California faces an almost certain risk of being rocked by a strong earthquake by 2037, scientists said Monday in the first statewide temblor forecast.


New calculations reveal there is a 99.7 percent chance a magnitude 6.7 quake or larger will strike in the next 30 years. The odds of such an event are higher in Southern California than Northern California, 97 percent versus 93 percent.

it's a conspiracy by the insurance companies to sell more policies. book it.

"we need to pump up some balance sheets with all these fixed income securities sucking...the guy who came up with the earthquake press release is now in a corner office with "vp" on his card. "vp" meaning "victory penis."

Likely.

Somewhere 50 mi south of Eureka-50 mi North of the Oregon Border. They're due for another big one. Hopefully it doesn't happen, but I think that's where itll be.
