<p><em>Happy Birthday Graphrix!</em></p>

<p>Did I miss something in the chat room last night? Or is this more of the "graphcakes" thing?</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Edit: Oh wait...I read back in the thread and the last earthquake was on his birthday. I get it now.</p>

Scientists today unveiled a hypothetical Scenario describing how a magnitude 7.8 Southern California earthquake ?similar to the recent earthquake in China? would impact the region, causing loss of lives and massive damage to infrastructure, including critical transportation, power, and water systems.



In the Scenario, the earthquake would kill 1800 people, injure 50,000, cause $200 billion in damage, and have long-lasting social and economic consequences. This is the most comprehensive analysis ever of what a major Southern California earthquake would mean, and is the scientific framework for what will be the largest earthquake preparedness drill in California history, scheduled for November 13, 2008.
