IS "THE BIG ONE" COMING?
The Big One is a term often used in casual conversation by residents of California, Oregon, Washington and British Columbiato describe the megathrust earthquake or other natural disaster anticipated as inevitably striking the West Coast of the United States. The name has also been applied to a megathrust earthquake expected to happen in Tokyo, Kanto area, Japan with the epicenter in Sagami Bay where the Filipino Plate and North American Plate movements cause big earthquakes regularly, with an interval of approximately 70 years. See also 1923 Great Kantō earthquake.
All the 'fracking' won't help either, but the odds for a big one is just increasing as time passes.
