5 Earthquake Time Bombs Which Could Devastate America

5: Shake, Rattle and Roll in San Francisco 

The Golden Gate city sits on directly on top of seven major fault lines and is incredibly vulnerable to a major quake.

In 1906, the city was struck by a magnitude 7.8 earthquake. Roughly 3,000 people died and over 80% of San Francisco was destroyed, making it one of the worst natural disasters in American history.

The Los Angeles area has a 63 percent change of a magnitude 6.7 or higher earthquakes occurring in the next 30 years according to the USGS. The city  is also vulnerable to the San Andreas Fault, which has a 21 percent probability of a large earthquake occurring over the next 30 years.
