Honestly, Santa Monica and the Westside looks to get hit much worse than the SF Valley where I live. And Palm Springs? Forget it. I don't understand why people live in Palm Springs. It's a mercilessly hot hell hole. not to mention sitting right on the fault. Hey, we were only a couple miles away from the epicenter in the 1994 Northridge quake. I don't think it's gonna get much worse than that! What's amazing is the Andreas quake takes more than a minute to reach the city of LA. That's a very long time. Oxnard and Ventura also seem to take a significant seismic hit.

We live in Los Angeles, so a 7.8 IS FRIGHTENING ENOUGH! IF Iโm this simulation video the 7.8 can be shown how far it travels, I just wish it would also give the estimate magnitude each area would get hit with.

Very interesting video

RIP me... ๐

Considering the San Andreas fault is less than two miles from where I live I will have a front row seat.
-
Im in between Oxnard and Santa Barbra so idk how itโs going to affect besides the shaking
-
Don't you mean southeast to northwest?
-
I live nowhere near there so I'm good ๐
-
Hmmm, maybe flyover country isnโt so bad after all? ๐ค
-
Earthquake that only lasts for one second, just like the real world.
-
What the difference between an earthquake that hits a local area and one that runs up along the entire fault line?
-
Hmm i might be in massive trouble because im in san Bernardino
-
Wait a minute I thought it was going to be a 8.5 mag quake......... explain
