“The Big One!”
What would President George W. Bush say to the survivors of a California earthquake? For the answer, email this blogger.
Just like Orville and Wilbur Wright asked, “can you fly 13 inches off the ground?" Oops...wrong post...rewind...
In the San Francisco Earthquake of 1906, approximately 3000 people died in the quake and subsequent fires.
The next big one will occur along the San Andreas Fault Zone!
A Magnitude 8 Earthquake needs a very long fault which means that it will occur at the San Andreas Fault.
A fault length of 250 miles is needed for a magnitude 8 earthquake. The next big one will be an earthquake that begins at the epicenter with a tear that rips down the fault. It will travel 2 miles per second...therefore, it will travel down a 250 mile fault in 125 seconds (2 minutes).
Obviously, since it’s such a large area...all forms of aid will have to come from farther away. We can predict the consequences, but not when it will happen. The Big One is inevitable, the disaster is not. We have choices to make to reduce that likelihood.
