I am expecting a 9.0 Megaquake along the Cascade fault within a year. That would wipe out much of northern California and trigger the San Andreas fault which might be an 8.0 quake 
and do hundreds of billions in damage. Richter scales are logarithmic. A 9.0 quake would release 31.6 times as much energy as an 8.0. It might be interesting to note that a magnitude 8.35 
quake releases the same amount of energy as two 25 megaton Hydrogen bombs.
