This post is worth a curie upvote, nicely done.
Remember I was telling from your last post about a movie :San Andreas?
I had to tell my sister that it was actually real and inspired by true events, Ikso showed her your blog post. I just have to re-watch the movie again from an educative point of view.
You mention where a fault line passes through the water table, oh my, what if it passes through an underground military facility.
The movie is fanciful; it imagines a larger quake than is probably possible on that particular fault. But entertaining and if it helps people in the region realize they should be prepared, that's fine.
