The Golden Gate bridge, LA, SF, etc? I hate to think of it and all the folks involved living along the fault seem not to be concerned enough, evidently. Saints preserve them! With the proliferating population of the world, people are habiting more and more of the areas known to be hazardous. It's true the catastrophes are somewhat spaced but we know sea coasts, low lying areas along rivers and of course near fault lines are catastrophes waiting to happen. The longer earthquakes are spaced, the more severe they will probably be. Not something pleasant to contemplate.

It brings to mind the metaphors from Abrams and Primack of the realms of gods (the super-small) and giants (the super-large) with humans squarely between the two. Thanks for sharing this mind-blowing graphic. I don’t think there are words for that, Tom.
