This is the West Valley Fault. It had a previous record of major earthquakes hundreds of years ago with the last time being in the 18th Century.
Our scientists suggest this fault line can generate big quakes as high as Magnitude 7 and shaking intensity of IX.
And a study theorises that this fault had a event pattern that happen once in every 400 years. If that's the case, then a major earthquake of that same energy is likely to happen within our lifetime.
There are over 30-40,000 houses and buildings that are standing in that active fault line. All these people living there didn't even know their houses were built under an active fault and there are millions of low income communities with homes built in substandard materials which are in danger of being destroyed by a strong quake.
So yeah... If the Big One do occur, we are sooo royally screwed.
