Summary
California’s next big earthquake could be a real game-changer, especially for the western part of the state. Scientists are keeping a close eye on the San Andreas Fault, which has the potential for a massive megathrust quake. If it hits, the shaking could be strong enough to cause land to sink along the coast, leading to flooding and major damage. This would be a big deal for cities like San Francisco and Los Angeles, which are already dealing with rising sea levels. Experts are urging people to prepare by having emergency kits and plans in place. It’s a reminder that living in earthquake country means staying ready for the unexpected!
