Last month the USGS reported that California has 46 percent chance of a 7.5 or larger quake in the next 3 decades, and that it most likely would hit Southern California. This quake has been dubbed the "Big One" and now scientist have created a scenario of what might be expected.



Imagine a 7.8-magnitude quake that last for three minutes, highways break apart, high rises collapse and older buildings fall apart. Major fires erupt and not enough firefighters to handle them all, then the Santa Ana winds flare up spread the devastation from property to property. Hospitals are overwhelmed as over 50,000 seek medical attention.



This is just a quick overview of what could happen and as I have said in the past a wake up call for all of us, it could California or your state. I know it is a concern up here in the Pacific Northwest.
