Add “sinking below sea level” to California’s list of natural disaster worries. Portions of the Golden State could be at risk of abruptly dropping into the sea during a severe earthquake like the “Big One” scientists have been predicting for years, according to a study published Monday.

Oh well they want to move away from the US anyway, but you can bet if something happened the two faced fk Governor who rips Trump apart would be begging for his financial help. Because that's what hypocrites do.

The Yellowstone caldera could let loose and do severe damage to humanity for decades. A huge asteroid could cause multiple hemorrhoids all around the world. A real superbug could just about destroy humanity. :dunno:

The San Andreas is small change.........

Most people in the United States know just one fault line by name: the San Andreas, which runs nearly the length of California and is perpetually rumored to be on the verge of unleashing “the big one.” That rumor is misleading, no matter what the San Andreas ever does. Every fault line has an upper limit to its potency, determined by its length and width, and by how far it can slip. For the San Andreas, one of the most extensively studied and best understood fault lines in the world, that upper limit is roughly an 8.2—a powerful earthquake, but, because the Richter scale is logarithmic, only six per cent as strong as the 2011 event in Japan.

Just north of the San Andreas, however, lies another fault line. Known as the Cascadia subduction zone, it runs for seven hundred miles off the coast of the Pacific Northwest, beginning near Cape Mendocino, California, continuing along Oregon and Washington, and terminating around Vancouver Island, Canada. The “Cascadia” part of its name comes from the Cascade Range, a chain of volcanic mountains that follow the same course a hundred or so miles inland. The “subduction zone” part refers to a region of the planet where one tectonic plate is sliding underneath (subducting) another. Tectonic plates are those slabs of mantle and crust that, in their epochs-long drift, rearrange the earth’s continents and oceans. Most of the time, their movement is slow, harmless, and all but undetectable. Occasionally, at the borders where they meet, it is not.

The Earthquake That Will Devastate the Pacific Northwest
Most people dont know about this one and that it is potentially the most dangerous fault line for CA. More notably a major earthquake on this fault will set off one on the San Andreas fault.

My geophysical explanation is that Wetbacks attract water.
 
From the perspective of a person not actually in California; such an event would truly be amazing to witness in ones lifetime. An event like that would be remembered, and talked about for the next thousand years.

California falling into the ocean has been a popular myth my entire life.

This is old nonsense.
 
As long as Berkeley, and really the entire San Fran area goes with it, I'm all in.

just outside of SF is the the San Joaquin Valley where 40% of the nations crops are grown

better be careful what ya wish for
Just below San Francisco is the technology capitol of world. The rest of the US with the exception of Texas would have to revert to the technology of the 1890's.

Except the fault is not an induction fault, it slides north/south

Ummm. Maybe. The largest vertical motion that has ever been recorded on the San Andreas was a 32 feet rise down in the Grapevine region of the fault zone. It's a right lateral strike slip fault, and to date all of the vertical offset has been UP.

You just make shit up, don't you Nutsack?

The Great Plains, Kansas, Oklahoma, Nebraska, are the biggest agricultural states, supplying the vast majority of the wheat, oats, and barley to the nation. Iowa is the largest producer of corn in the nation, a massively important crop, and naturally Texas is the largest cattle producer in the nation. Strangely, Arkansas is the biggest producer of pork. (Seems like it should be Washington DC)

Where Farmers Live and Which Countries Don’t Have Enough

California TRADITIONALLY was a major supplier of fruits and vegetables, but that has changed as the democrats took over the state, due to their hostility to farmers and farming. Jerry Brown has fought a long war to crush the Imperial Valley farmers, the Imperial valley is the most productive farmland in the world. The result is that an ever greater percent of fruit comes from Mexico and Chile. The plantation masters in Silicone Valley don't like the fertilizers, insecticides, and water used by farmers, so have set their bought and paid for democrats at utterly destroying California agriculture.

That would be a cute trick since the San Andreas is a transform fault which means the land is slipping north vs. south...not into the ocean.
