Full title: Is California next? US Geological Survey warns risk of magnitude 8 or larger 'Big One' earthquake has increased dramatically
In the new study, the estimate for the likelihood that California will experience a magnitude 8 or larger earthquake in the next 30 years has increased from about 4.7% for UCERF2 to about 7.0% for UCERF3.

California has had more 3.0 shakers in the last few days.
We’re all going to die!!!

The fact that it is a complex of faults related in most cases to the San Andreas Fault. There were a number of articles a week ago on a “locked up” Ventura-Pitas Point fault that could unlock in an up to 8.0 earthquake. At least a lot of the building in the last several years have been built to a better code than that used even into the 60/70s.

When the 8.0 quake destroys San Francisco, I will just see it as God’s work.
Just joking.
OK, only half joking.

Have these people
ever accurately predicted a quake?
I mean, like got it right plus or minus decade?

So the likelihood of a large earthquake has increased by 3% over the span of 30 years..... that sounds terrifying! ;^)

The estimate for the likelihood that California will experience a magnitude 8 or larger earthquake in the next 30 years has increased from about 4.7% to about 7.0%, they say. Jumpin' Jehoshaphat!
The odds... Oooops... "likelihood" increased from around one in 20 to around one in 14.
Must be time to up the request for an increase in next year's budget.
Guess they forgot that other disciplines are very familiar with the very elastic nature of the definition of recurrence interval...

The Third Uniform California Earthquake Rupture Forecast, or UCERF3, improves upon previous models by incorporating the latest data on the state's complex system of active geological faults, as well as new methods for translating these data into earthquake likelihoods.Sure look like US Geological Survey has borrowed the manual that the Climate Fraudsters invented.
Another computer model? Garbage in Garbage out?
Really?
I thought these folk were more engineers than delusional freaks like the fraudulent East Anglia "scientists."
The still unknown factors affecting earthquakes may be more complex and incompletely known than the arrogant climate fakers'.
