Nothing needs to be redefined. The monuments hold in every state.

No crapshoot. Nobody wants to be in southern California, so the definition has always been Ventura county, and all other counties that are north of the Tehachapi are northern California.

Uh, no.

San Andreas runs all the way to the Southern edge of California, and beyond into the Gulf of California. Heading from the southern border, it turns and cuts across much of southern California, before heading along towards the Santa Cruz mountains. It finally heads offshore immediately south of San Francisco, although I admit I didn’t realize it skirts back onshore for brief segments north of San Francisco. Nonetheless, the whopping majority of the onshore portion of San Andreas is in the southern half of California.

Loma Prieta is just under 30 miles from where the San Andreas first heads out so sea, just south of San Francisco. Out of 800+ miles, that’s what I refer to as “near the northern edge.”

The San Andreas heads out to sea at the northern end of Tomales bay.

And I repeat, more of the fault that is in California is in what the state itself defines as northern California.

Not far enough, needs to move California about another 1,000 miles west.

THis is what many in Calif say about the people who live in other states and have weather disasters that the tax payers have to pickup.

What taxpayers in which states? Taxpayers pickup weather disasters? Are you saying taxpayers do cleanup? I don’t understand your sentence structure. Did you go to school in California?
