Its going to happen. And the loss of life and damage will be on a scale we haven't see in this country is because California is heavily populated and with so much infrastructure built on top of the state's many faults - seen and unseen.

I am probably way off center on this one but it seems to me
from the last few earthquakes I have seen in California, much of the earthquake damage was caused by resulting fires, gas pipe breaks and so on rather than the earth movement.

Since California has upped it’s earthquake restrictions and construction requirements, hopefully even less damage will occur now - but some local jurisdictions are still allowing construction on threatened land. Even weirder - people are still buying properties on that land.
