I've heard that there is going to be a really big earthquake occuring in California in the next 30 years.?

Question

Is this true, and if it is, what is this earthquake called?

Answer 1

It won't have a name until it happens, since it's named after its epicenter, and there's no way to know where that will be.  

Until then, it's called The Big One.

Add:  Thumbs down?  Really?  Do you live in California, Mr./Ms. Thumbs Downer?  I do.  I know what we call it, and how it's named, that we don't know where it will be centered, and that scientists say there's virtually a 100% chance that it will happen in the next 30 years.

Answer 2

The world is not going to end in 2012 but yes people will die during that time. Anyhow for the earthquake it will most likely happen as this earth is not how it used to be anything can be expected.

Answer 3

Well we're long due for an earthquake and scientists are dubbing it the next "Big One".

Answer 4

Ok this sounds really scary and the person above me really scared me.

I'm scared for the Earth, mankind has treated it so awfully.

I hope God comes and saves us.

Keeping praying everyone!

Answer 5

Don't worry about it. I heard that the world is going to end in the year 2012. Long before that earthquake hits.

Answer 6

i kinda didn't get it but if you mean there is going to a 30 year long earthquake i doubt it earthquakes on last a maximum of 7 min and the aftershocks maximum is 3 min

Answer 7

i just want to tell u sth

it is really impossible to know when an earthquick may happen

so dont believe this

earthquicks can happen in any sec

Answer 8

I am a San Francisco resident. We had them in 1906 and in 1989, so figure about another 83 years after 1989. That is in 1072. Arwena is playing a cruel joke on gullible people.

Answer 9

My educated guess is by 2015 there will be another Northridge-sized quake in the L.A. basin. I survived Northridge and Sylmar in '71, and the spacing of big quakes in that area seems to fit such a timetable. I have since moved to the Midwest.

Answer 10

Yep, all true. In fact it is well overdue for such a thing.

This earthquake will happen at approximately 09:53 local time on the 17th of October 2026, although it could be as late as 10:06.

San Francisco will no longer exist and the United Nations will have to have a Worldwide Appeal for all the poor, starving L.A. celebrities who's homes and Hummers were cast into the resulting chasm of molten rock. The Hollywood sign (or the remaining second 'O' and 'W') will wash up somewhere along the North Beach in Blackpool, England where they will be instantly used as the basis for a makeshift tent by some engineering students, keen to prove their talents for their final years' project.

It is estimated that it will measure about 67 on the Richter scale and the resulting tidal wave will destroy 17 palm trees and drown a small daschund named Elvis in Saint Lucia. The sound of two hundred million Muslims laughing themselves into unconsciousness will then cause a large avalanche in the foothills of the Himalayas, which will in turn completely wipe out the Japanese economy by taking 876,000 points off the Nikkei, as 2.4 weeks earlier, the entire country had invested heavily in a Buddhist Centre for Clinically Bewildered Yogis that was destroyed, ironically, 3 days before its official opening by Prince Albert of Monaco. The mountain lions residing in this area will begin to scavenge school children from neighbouring villages (due to the sudden absence of hill squirrels which make up a large portion of their usual diet) and the local villagers will wipe out this already near extinct species by beating them to death with dustbin lids and parts of an old tractor they found just over the border in Tibet.

The following weeks will see the Earth's tectonic plates shift to such a degree that Vesuvius will erupt and rebury Pompeii, the skies will turn black from the ashen, volcanic fallout and this in turn will contaminate the worlds entire supply of Evian bottled mineral water. This will cause the middle class to die out within weeks. My geraniums will die due to them being in an already too shady spot.

The price of petrol will fall to a 20 year low of £12.53 a litre and every single European will celebrate this event by going on a driving holiday. As a result, Holiday Inn Express will enjoy a previously unheard of boom and raise its prices to an all time high and it will be impossible to get a table at the Servichlant Autobahn motorway cafe just south of Munich for the entire month of November.

Sorry I couldn't be more specific............
