Complete Headline: Sixty nine major earthquakes hit the Pacific's Ring of Fire in just 48 hours driving fears that the 'Big One' is about to hit California
Fears that a deadly earthquake may soon hit California have emerged after a swarm of quakes rocked one of Earth's major geological disaster zones.
Sixteen 'significant' tremors - those at magnitude 4.5 or above - shook the Pacific 'Ring of Fire' on Monday, following a spate of 53 that hit the region Sunday.
The quakes rattled Indonesia, Bolivia, Japan and Fiji, but failed to reach the western coast of the United States, which also falls along the infamous geological ring.
The tremors have raised concerns that California's 'Big One' - a destructive earthquake of magnitude 8 or greater - may be looming.
Scientists have previously warned that the state, which straddles the huge San Andreas Fault Line, is long overdue a deadly event of this size.

I wonder if the people selling land in Fiji and other South Pacific islands would be willing to accept a reduced price offer since it’s been so seismically active lately. My multi-million dollar oceanfront dream might be able to be gotten at a significant discount. I’ll ride out a few temblors in my hammock, if need be.
The Russians probably got it right. They said the thinning of artic ice and melting glaciers correlates best with the increased activity of underwater volcanoes and multiple vents. The earth seems to be venting some heat and energy.
WE ARE ALL GOING TO DIE .!!!!
AAAAAAAAHHHHHH .
President Trump is Beta Testing his new Earthquake Machine.
Then California will really burn.
Yes, please. Born there, will never go back. Sink it!
“Maybe God’s wrath against Sodom California is at hand.”
If California is destroyed, thousands of innocent people will be hurt.
What if “The Big One” never comes. It is NOT “inevitable.”
"Ah fell innn-to a burnin' ring of fahr..."
“Maybe God’s wrath against Sodom California is at hand.”
Sodom is sin and vice versa,
There ain’t no place where the vice is worse-a
Here it is, I mean here is is.
Paint your Wagon
Well, shoot - congress critters from CA are back in DC, aren’t they? We never catch a break!!!
My dad is a pretty smart guy. I asked him about this:
1. 4.3 to 6 is a medium quake. 7 is major.
2. What would you rather have, stress relief throughout the structure or no movement at all followed by a massive slippage?
“Yeah, yeah...69. Heh heh...It’s like a number or something.”
