NEWS ITEM: LOS ANGELES (AP) — Scientists are virtually certain California will be rocked by a strong earthquake in the next 30 years, the risk of a mega-quake more likely than previously thought.
The chance of a magnitude-8 quake striking the state in the next three decades jumped to 7 percent from 4.7, mainly because scientists took into account the possibility that several faults can shake at once, releasing seismic energy that results in greater destruction.
EDITORIAL: Should this calamity come to pass, I can only hope and pray Obama will be wearing his flag pin.
