If a 6.8 hits the LA area, the losses will be in the billions. I doubt the loss of life would be similar to the Morocco earthquake. I was in Italy when the Irpinia earthquake hit in 1980. Several thousand people died in the mountains around Naples and many buildings were damaged in Naples
I was in ‘89 Bay Area quake 80 miles from epicenter.
I never want to go thru that again.
If SF has another 1906 quake, it is going to be very bad.
