Board Question 48464

I know this is really pointless, considering California is not going to "fall into the ocean," but I need to make a correction to Giovanni's statement. The San Andreas fault does run through California, but right along the coast. Only a very small portion of California is on the Pacific Plate. In fact, just south of San Francisco, the fault primarily is off shore all the way north. So the vast majority of California is actually on the North American Plate. Sorry for the rant - I know this is really pointless.

Yeah, I'm kinda surprised that got through, and without any clarification from a writer.

True story: I saw a show once on the Learning Chanel about 10 years ago where some guy had had a vision of a huge earthquake that was going to destroy most of the United States, and he had drawn a map of what parts of the country were going to be underwater. All of California was underwater, and so was most of Utah, except for a little island with Salt Lake and Provo on it. But I think the earthquake was supposed to have happened by now, though.

Maybe he saw a vision of the past of Lake Bonneville?

In my head, I knew that as I was typing. I just didn't clarify my thoughts. As I was reading through it, I even thought "it feels like something is missing". Sorry about that, friends!
