LOS ANGELES, CA - NOVEMBER 12: Research geophysicist with the United States Geological Survey (USGS) Brad Aagaard shows members of the media a series of images that illustrate how shock waves from a catastrophic 7.8 magnitude earthquake on the San Andreas Fault would likely fan out across southern California, at the three-day Los Angeles International Earthquake Conference November 12, 2008 in Los Angeles, California. Dark red indicates the most extreme shaking of the Earth while blue represents little to no movement. The demonstration comes on the eve of the Great Southern California ShakeOut Drill which is to be the largest earthquake preparedness drill in U.S. history. An estimated 5.2 million people in Southern California are expected to participate in a scenario in which 1,800 people die, 53,000 p

LOS ANGELES, CA - NOVEMBER 12: A film produced by the United States Geological Survey (USGS) illustrating how shock waves from a catastrophic 7.8 magnitude earthquake on the San Andreas Fault would likely fan out across southern California is shown to members of the news media at the three-day Los Angeles International Earthquake Conference November 12, 2008 in Los Angeles, California. Dark red indicates the most extreme shaking of the Earth while blue represents little to no movement. The demonstration comes on the eve of the Great Southern California ShakeOut Drill which is to be the largest earthquake preparedness drill in U.S. history. An estimated 5.2 million people in Southern California are expected to participate in a scenario in which 1,800 people die, 53,000 people are injured, 1,500 buildings collapse, 1,600 fires ignite, and $213 billion in damage are done by a quake 50 times more intense than the 1994 Northridge earthquake. Scientists believe that on average, a massive earthquake occurs south of the San Gabriel Mountains about every 150 years. The last one was at least 300 years ago. (Photo by David McNew/Getty Images)
