The San Andreas Fault Just Did Something Scientists Have Never Seen Before — And It's Alarming

The San Andreas Fault beneath Los Angeles is locked, loaded, and overdue. In this video we break down "The Big One": what really happens when the southern San Andreas ruptures, why the two minutes of shaking is NOT the worst part, and how 1,600 fires and a broken water supply could leave a city of 20 million people without water for months. You'll learn why Southern California's faults are at their highest stress in 1,000 years, what the USGS ShakeOut scenario (a magnitude 7.8 earthquake) actually predicts, why all three aqueducts crossing the fault is the real nightmare, and the simple earthquake preparedness steps that matter before the ground moves.
