'Big One' Earthquake in California Might Be as Massive as Feared???

A recent seismic study challenges the long-standing narrative of the anticipated "Big One" earthquake along California's San Andreas fault. Researchers from Imperial College London turned to an unconventional data source—rocks situated 9.3 miles from the fault line—to question the severity of the expected quake. The study proposes that ground shaking during the event could be up to 65% less intense than previously estimated by traditional earthquake models. While the findings could revolutionize disaster management, the US Geological Survey remains cautious, stating it's too early to incorporate this data into hazard maps that influence building codes and insurance decisions.
