7.8 earthquake in California

I got this from the new animations by USGS (availbale at usgs.com). The animation shows what would happen to California if a 7.8 earthquake nailed it. I dont know why they chose 7.8 and i really dont care. (Im sorry about 0 music.)

it says 147.3 at the end which would be 2:27 so the video time is pretty accurate

7.8 is the largest earthquake ever recorded on the San Andreas (The Fort Tejon Earthquake)

@pogo506 Depends on your opinion of a bad earthqake. 6.0 or bigger, not since 2004. Weve had a couple of 5's and 4's but otherwise nothing scary.
