#2Funny. In with the roar of multiple paragraphs spent explaining all the reasons this spot will be the next big one. And then out with a quick whimper that the scientists are not convicted.

Didn't happen in the last five days either. Does that make it more likely or less?

#5The paper is actually science, but it’s not news. It is, however, being portrayed that way. This type of writing seems like a job that could, and possibly should, be replaced by AI.
I personally believe the Cascadia fault will go off on June 18, 2025, but I may be wrong!

#6Nearby Corcoran has been subsiding at up to 60cm per year (from water extraction). Seems like quite the area.

#9I'm a non-Californian, so I'm not very familiar with the tectonics at play here.
If there's an earthquake on this fault, how bad would it be? Would it trigger a tsunami? Would SF and LA be damaged?
Could this cause "the big one" that gets mentioned occasionally? How bad would such a quake be?
