Recent updates in geophysics mapping of our area puts the odds of a big quake (9+) within the next 50 years at 10 to 15%. Historically, we've had big quakes in clumps of 3 or 4 over the course of a couple hundred years followed by 300 or 400 years of no quakes. We're right at 300 years and counting since the last big one. Of course, when it does hit, a lot will depend on where it hits, how deep and what type of quake it is. Fascinating to see what all seismologists are learning these days and we still have so much more to learn.
