Plenty of activity on the San Andreas Fault these days problem is that there is virtually no activity on the section of the fault between Parkfield and Devore. The fault seems locked there much as it must have been in 1857 when the fault ruptured along 350-400km giving an 8.0 earthquake. How long does it take to unzip that much fault?

I don’t know but I don’t want to be here when it happens.

When that section goes, Las Vegas will be in trouble, as the I-15 passes through there and will have sections of that interstate highway collapse.

No more Friday night 400 miles of traffic to Sin City.
