in your opinion do you think california is due for "the big one"?

California has always been due for the big one. It seems inevitable according to the seismologists. The question as always is when.

I hope it never comes.

I suppose it is but here in southern Illinois we worry about the New Madrid fault being due for the big one. The 1811-1812 New Madrid earthquakes caused the Mississippi River to flow backwards and geologists estimate that at least 4 quakes between December 1811 and February 1812 were between 7.5 and 8.8 on today’s Richter Scale. The quakes caused sand blows and soil liquefaction from St. Louis to Memphis and was felt as far away as Ontario, Canada. By comparison, the 1906 California earthquake which devastated San Francisco had an estimated magnitude of 7.9 and the 1964 Alaska earthquake which devastated Anchorage had a magnitude of 9.2. So the New Madrid fault zone in southeastern Missouri ranks right up there with the most dangerous in the United States and geologists warn that it is way past due for a big quake. The 1968 magnitude 5.5 is the last one that caused any measurable damage but that was just moderate in the seismic scheme of things.

Los Angeles, Seattle and Tehran (in that order) are the most likely to experience a large quake as above stated according to past events.

I don't know about California but I am overdue for the Big One.

It's not a matter of "if", only "when". The San Andreas fault moves 1.5 inches per year, every year.

according to scientist, the big one is going to come. sooner or later, it'll happen. fortunately, it'll happen in the future when we could stop it or something.

They are overdue but there is still no way to know when it will happen.

Probably,

Well they are on a huge fault line so i should imagin so..
