A big quake likely in California. In a stunning first statewide earthquake forecast the USGS said an earthquake larger than 6.7 will occur somewhere in California within the next 30 years.
Really? Going out on a limb much? We have had four such quakes in the past 16 years. There hasn't been any 30 year period in state history without a major quake. This is Earthquake Country, guys! Could you have made a lamer prediction?
This is kind of like predicting that Florida will have a hurricane in the next 20 years. Or Kansas will have a tornado sometime in the next decade. Or that it will snow in Fairbanks next winter.
