Paleoseismic research showed that along the section of the fault nearest Los Angeles the average period between large earthquakes is just 130 years. Ominously, 147 years have already passed since the latest large rupture, in 1857.
Get out now!
Up here in Vancouver we get our quakes about every 300 years. The last one was about 300 years ago. We gain about 1 cm elevation annually so we have 3m to lose when the big one comes. My house is on a hill, so at least my rubble won't be below sea level.
