NoxObscuras 07/13/23 2:01:19 PM #3:	"The Big One" had been "overdue" for decades now. Who knows if a massive earthquake will actually hit in our lifetime. And I think our infrastructure has been improved enough to greatly reduce the damage, but not enough that we'd come out unscathed. --- PSN - NoxObscuras Z490 \| i9-10900K \| EVGA 3080 FTW3 Ultra \| 32GB DDR4 3600 \| 4TB SSD <cite>NoxObscuras posted [p:974815133] in Is the Wes...

Sephiroth_C_Ryu 07/13/23 2:43:48 PM #11:	Part of the reason it is overdue may be due to certain regions no longer being lakes at this time. I forget the details, but sediment cores suggest that for at least most of the previous earthquakes, they occurred during a period when the lake was there (it apparently has come and gone naturally in the past). --- I am the Hunter of Topics.

s0nicfan 07/13/23 2:46:00 PM #13:	Unsuprised_Pika posted... The earthquake could trigger massive fires both urban and wild. I'm sure. My point was California should probably be more immediately concerned with wildfires that grow increasingly uncontrollable before they worry too much about a "one day it'll all be over" earthquake that you can't predict. --- "History Is Much Like An Endless Waltz.
