The quakes this century in Southern California have been readjustments of various crustal blocks in preparation for the ultimate rupture along the southern section of the San Andreas Fault (See Geologic Map at end). This section has been locked up for about 500 years. The tremendous accumulated strain has not been lessened by this century's quakes. In fact, these quakes have moved up the date of the megaquake. Time has run out, and it's now overdue. Don't bother being prepared, just simply get as far away as possible from...
What is a megacenter? No, it's not a new mall or corporate office. An epicenter, as you know, is the location of a normal, measurable quake. A megacenter is the location of a quake much larger than usually experienced by man.
How big is it? Well, it's like comparing conventional explosives to nukes. The Richter
Magnitude of this quake will be approximately 10! This is equivalent to a huge number of nukes.
A typical nuclear test in Nevada generates a Richter 4.
A Richter 10 is ten to the sixth times greater magnitude. My estimate is that it will be equivalent to over 100 megatons of TNT...
A Richter 10 is 100 times a Richter 8.0 !
