California quake due at any time

The recent tweets on the the San Andreas fault is expected to go anytime, and it’s more expected now. What a great summer to go to San Diego.

@riley_paige Between super volcanoes, the San Andreas fault, and no droughts is the beach front view even worth living in California?

California in all probality may  be hit by a massive earthquake at any time.
A leading seismologist warned a national conference Wednesday, potentially killing thousands of people and costing hundreds of billions of dollars.
The section of the San Andreas Fault in the Los Angeles area has been quiet for too long and Thomas Jordan believes it’s now a ticking time bomb that could produce an 8 magnitude ‘Big One’.
This section of the major faultline hasn’t produced a ‘big one’ since 1857 when a 7.9 quake shook nearly half the state.
Close to 1,000 roads crossed the fault line at the time of the study, along with 90 fiber optic cables, 21 railroads, 39 gas and petroleum pipelines, and 32 aqueducts.
Total losses to buildings is estimated at $33 billion, and it would cost $1 billion to repair water and sewer lines. The damaged water supply would also affect firefighting capabilities. According to the study, “the worst hit areas may not have water in the taps for six months.” California has already taken steps to prepare for earthquakes, such as the apartment retrofits and aqueduct strengtheningregulations that were passed by voters in 2015.

It’s not just the Southern California section that’s at risk. Areas further southeast down the line haven’t experienced big quakes since 1812 and the 17th century.
The Pacific plate is moving northwest at a rate of 16ft (5 meters) each century, which is causing decades of tension to build up that at some point will need to be released.RT news

Life has taught me to fight on,” Sonia Gandhi said.Sonia Gandhi on Friday hit back at the Modi government, saying it should “not try to frighten” the Congress.

Sonia said that life has taught her “to fight on”, as she, Rahul Gandhi and other top party leaders courted arrest after they were stopped from marching to Parliament.Reports TOI

Rouhani wins Iran's Presidential election Moderate cleric Hassan Rouhani won Iran's presidential election on Saturday, the interior ministry said, scoring a surprising landslide victory over conservative hardliners without the need of a second round run-off.Interior minister Mostafa Mohammad-Najjar announced on state television that Rouhani secured just over 50 percent of the ballot based on a 72 percent turnout of 50 million eligible voters. Mr Hassan Rouhani ... got the absolute majority of votes and was elected as president," Najjar said. Tehran Mayor Mohammad-Bagher Ghalibaf, a hard-line conservative, lagged behind with about 16 percent of the votes. Iran's top nuclear negotiator Saeed Jalili, he too a hard-line conservative, earned 11 percent. The voter turnout was 72.7 percent. President-elect Hassan Rohani, sixty four years old, is known as a moderate conservative. He has been stressing the need to improve ties with Western nations, and is back...
Save Dissent to Save Democracy   THE rising instances of physical violence and threats against political opponents and the inability to accept dissent must raise huge concerns amongst all of us who see democracy as perhaps the really stellar achievement since Independence. AAP’s attack on BJP headquarters and acts of arson committed under the very noses of their elite leadership; the attacks on Arvind Kejriwal and Manish Sisodia in Gujarat in the last two days; the recent manhandling of the caretaker of journalist Siddharth Varadarajan’s house by some garden variety thugs; and the violence and threats meted out regularly to their political opponents by political parties is surely deplorable and condemnable. This is a fatally flawed trend which will destroy the very foundations of our democratic institutions if not pushed back with all the strength and condemnation that the civil society can mobilise. Replaying the past To begin with, it must be clarified that we should ...
