We did the Great ShakeOut drill at work this morning (California). Do you have any high potential numbers for quakes in California? If so, when? I am pretty surprised that somewhere up this Pacific Rim we both sit on, none of our three states (Cali, Oregon, WS) have been hit hard by a quake in recent times. Others on the Pacific Rim, like Japan and several South American countries have been hit hard. How have we avoided this so well? What does this mean in terms of the buckling of the rim for us?

I see, so there is an insurance and building code aspect to this, which is really the driving point.

GG...lol

So, if there is little pattern to this, why do we pay people to be "experts" in this randomness?

Hello Journalist,

Do you realize that media is owned by corporations?....and that these corporations are not fair and balanced, but very biased? What say you of the state of media today? To me, nothing more than yellow journalism, pimping out political viewpoints of the owners. Sorry, I did not answer your question. A great nation would start with no president. The people should be able to vote on everything (we have the technology to do that). Government should only act in the defined interest of the public.....hence the term public servant. As it is today, the government means to dictate/dominate and the public is the servant of it's will. That is backwards.
