San Andreas Fault May Be Primed For A Major Earthquake

A new study published March 24 in the journal Science Advances shows that an overlooked strand of the southern San Andreas Fault is more likely to rupture than any other secondary faults in the region.

Called the Mission Creek strand, the segment spans the cities of Indio, Desert Hot Springs and San Bernardino. It has gone mostly unnoticed because it is thought to be one of the least active sections of the southern San Andreas Fault. But the new study indicates that the strand is actually the fastest moving fault in the region.
***
All eyes are currently on the southern San Andreas Fault because this region hasn’t ruptured in nearly 300 years. Recent data also shows that it has already accumulated enough strain.

Sounds like if you live in California you might want to take an extended vacation out of the State..

If we were lucky it would go down while Nancy was there.  Would be such a huge improvement or our situation.

God's retribution against the wickedness of modern day Sodom & Gomorrah.  If you didn't approve of their evil ways, you were the enemy there.  I'm glad I'm out of Satan's Den.

If it goes off it's going to cause those rats to flee that sinking ship faster than they already are.

The San Andreas is always primed and ready to go.  So are the rest of the major faults on the Pacific Coast.

All of you hoping for this just remember.. this will cause even more Californians to flee the sinking ship and settle in your red state.

And they will all continue voting Blue No Matter Who.

Southern California is due for a great earthquake. The 1857 Fort Tejon earthquake magnitude 7.9.  The same  magnitude as the1906 SF quake.

The question is what fault will fail. Lots of candidates.

LA will move 20 to 30 feet closer to SF.  The thing won't fall off.

The wet dream of every GDer.

They could publish this everyday and twice on Saturday for the next 500 years and nothing might happen. These clowns can't tell me the weather next week but are telling me an earthquake is coming?

IIRC we're overdue for the Yellowstone thingie to blow up, that kills basically 125,000,000 Americans? You death to American people ought to like that.
