    I remember my first visit to San Francisco was in July and August of 1989. I remember flying back to LA from SF and seeing the San Andreas Fault and thinking I wonder when this fault will generate another large earthquake. I got my answer on Tuesday October 17th while watching the World Series on TV like everyone else! I’ll never forget it! One day Los Angeles will be side by side with San Francisco according to the San Andreas data. God Bless all the people in those cities and regions! GOD BLESS SOCAL AND NORCAL!

    Watching this because in my geology class we're currently talking about earthquakes and wanted to learn more! I find them really interesting, and I also hope we could achieve the technology to predict them soon 2:50
