Scientists warn a massive earthquake is on the horizon for California

‘Should Californians start preparing for a potentially massive earthquake that’s looming on the horizon? Going by data presented in a recent study, it may be a good idea, if not now then at least some time in the not so distant future.
The study shows how a 7.4 tremblor could potentially rupture underneath Los Angeles, Orange and San Diego Counties, producing an earthquake that would be 30 times more powerful than the 6.4 magnitude quake of 1933 in Long Beach, which claimed the lives of 120 people.
But reaching the status of a 7.4 magnitude earthquake would not necessarily be easy. Indeed, certain circumstances would have to be in place to bring about a natural disaster of such epic proportions. Besides rupturing the Newport-Inglewood fault in Los Angeles and Orange counties, the quake would also have to impact the Rose Canyon fault system. The fault system, which hasn’t been ruptured since roughly 1650, runs entirely through downtown San Diego.’
