The San Andreas is notorious for producing big ones, but a magnitude-9 or larger is virtually impossible because the fault is not long or deep enough, Hough noted.

I've always been told that the western side of the San Andreas fault belonged to the pacific plate, while the east is part of the continental plate.

That sounds pretty deep and long to me.

""Having Paul Giamatti shouting, "Drop, cover and hold on!" and The Rock telling people to crouch against a wall if they can is one heck of a PSA," Hough said."

Don't know about the second part of that advice. If you are outdoors, it would seem moving away from anything that can fall on you is the best advice.

I remember in school drills being told to stand in a doorway or get under a table. Well, I’m here to tell you that if the quake is bad enough to do these things, you probably can’t.

Another CGI fest. There are scores of identical movies out there.

I can’t wait for Everest.

1,800 deaths is nothing.

San Andreas?

I didn’t do it.

It’s not my fault.

Wait?..what?...if you’re out brace against the wall?!!.

brick or cinder block walls are notoriously unsafe in quakes

If you’re out in the open and there nothing that can fall against to your safe being away from that.

the majority of danger in a quake is stuff falling or collapsing on you

San Andreas...???

Everyone knows the most dangerous is Bush's Fault.
(Especially while Obama's in office)

I’ve heard that you can avoid injury if you jump up and down.
