Is Southern California Ready For 7.8 Earthquake?

BIGGEST SUPPORTER SAYS IT UNLESS
HE SEES ADDITIONAL EVIDENCE HE
IS STAYING WITH MOORE.
RICK: THANKS DAVE.
WHEN IT COMES TO THE BIG ONE
EXPERTS AGREED IT'S NOT A MATTER
OF IF IT'S A MATTER OF WHEN.
A 7.8 EARTHQUAKE ON THE SAN
ANDREAS WOULD ROCK SOUTHERN
CALIFORNIA FOR HUNDREDS OF MILES
AND THE DAMAGE COULD LAST MONTH
OR EVEN YEARS.
HURRICANES, FIRES, EARTHQUAKES.
OVER THE LAST FEW MONTHS WE HAVE
AN ALL TOO REAL GLIMPSE OF WHAT
MOTHER NATURE IS TRULY CAPABLE
OF.
AND JUST HOW QUICKLY A DISASTER
CAN TURN MAJOR CITIES UPSIDE
DOWN.
SOMETHING THAT SHOULD SERVE AS A
STAUNCH REMINDER SOUTHERN
CALIFORNIA THAT WE COULD BE NEXT
NEXT.
WHEN YOU LIVE IN SOUTHERN
CALIFORNIA YOU HAVE TO SAY WILL
HAPPEN.
EARTHQUAKE EXPERT DR. LACY LUCY
JONES SAYS THERE ARE MORE THAN
THREE AND A DEFAULT IN SOUTHERN
CALIFORNIA AND WE ALL LIVE
WITHIN FIVE MILES OF AT LEAST
ONE OF THOSE FAULTS.
WHILE ANY OF THESE FAULTS ARE
CAPABLE OF JOLTING SOCAL IT'S NO
SURPRISE TO THOSE OF US WHO LIVE
HERE EXPERTS POINT TO THE SAN
ANDREAS IS THE ONE MOST LIKE YOU
TO PRODUCE A LARGE QUAKE.
IT WILL BE FELT IN LAS VEGAS
AND ARIZONA.
IT MAY BE FELT IN THE BAY AREA.
REPORTER: THE SAMARA PROJECTS
THE SAN ANDREAS COULD YIELD OF
7.8 MAGNITUDE QUAKE 11 TIMES
STRONGER THAN THE 7.1 THAT HAD
MEXICO CITY IN SEPTEMBER AND 44
TIMES STRONGER THAN THE 1994
NORTHRIDGE QUAKE.
IF A 7.8 QUAKE RUPTURES THE SAN
ANDREAS IT COULD HIT THE SALTON
SEA AND RUN 186 MILES TO LAKE
HUGHES SHAKING EVERYTHING IN ITS
PATH AND POTENTIALLY SETTING OFF
OTHER FAULTS CAUSING ADDITIONAL
QUAKES.
EVERYTHING AND ACROSS A
DEFAULT WILL BE BROKEN, ROADS,
RAILWAYS, GAS PUMP LINES, WATER
SYSTEMS ELECTRICAL TRANSMISSION
LINES.
ALL OF THESE THINGS WILL BE
OFFSET.
REPORTER: THAT MEANS ROADS AND
FREEWAYS FRACTURED, LANDSLIDES
TRIGGERED, WATER
SEWAGE COMIC INDICATION SEVERED.
IT'S A SYSTEM OF SYSTEMS AND
EVERY ONE OF THEM IS VULNERABLE.
IT'S NOT ABOUT DYING, IT'S ABOUT
BEING BANKRUPT AND LISTING YOUR
HOME AND HAVING NO PLACE TO GO.
REPORTER: THE NUMBER OF DEATHS
AND DAMAGE TO THE REGION WOULD
BE STAGGERING.
THE SCENARIO SAYS MORE THAN 1800
PEOPLE WOULD DIE.
ENTIRE BUILDINGS AND HOMES
ROUGHLY THREE AND A THOUSAND
EITHER DESTROYED OR BADLY
DAMAGED AND $213 BILLION IN
DAMAGES.
WE ALWAYS PLAN FOR THE
WORST-CASE SCENARIO.
REPORTER: CHRIS AT THE LOS
ANGELES MANAGEMENT DEPARTMENT
SAYS IT COULD TAKE UP TO 18
MONTHS TO FULLY REPAIR OUR WATER
SYSTEM AND ELECTRICAL GRID BUT
THAT ISN'T OUR BIGGEST CONCERN.
WHAT IS GOING TO BE PRIOR TO?
IF THAT SCENARIO HITS WE ARE
LOOKING AT ABOUT 1600 FIRES
APPROXIMATELY IGNITING.
REPORTER: IN THE 1906 SAN
FRANCISCO EARTHQUAKE 90% OF THE
DAMAGE WAS CAUSED BY FIRE.
IN 2011 JAPAN'S QUAKE CAUSED
ANOTHER ISSUE, AS TSUNAMI.
IS THAT SOMETHING WE NEED TO
WORRY ABOUT?
THE FALL TEST TO BE
UNDERWATER AND IT HAS TO CHANGE
THE SHAPE OF THE SEA SO SOUTHERN
CALIFORNIA DOES NOT HAVE AN
OFFSHORE FAULT.
REPORTER: THE EXPERTS STRESS WE
MIGHT NOT KNOW WHEN OR EXACTLY
WHERE BUT WE KNOW A BIG QUAKE IS
COMING.
NOW IT'S UP TO YOU TO BE
PREPARED.
WE WANT PEOPLE TO DO
SOMETHING TO BE BETTER PREPARED
FOR TOMORROW.
THE EARTHQUAKE IS INEVITABLE
BUT THE DISASTER IS NOT AND WE
CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE BY THE
CHOICES WE MAKE THAT WILL MAKE
IT A LOT LESS DAMAGING.
