Scientists: 99% Chance a 5.0 or Larger Quake will Hit Los Angeles Within 3 Years
NASA is warning Los Angeles-area residents to get ready: the agency says an earthquake of at least a magnitude 5.0 is a 99% certainty within the next 30 months.
Andrea Donnellan, a seismologist with NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, and colleagues arrived at the estimate based on data from a study conducted of the Puente Hills and Whittier faults, both of which were responsible for the 5.1 La Habra quake in March 2014. [1]
