Of course, that's about as dependable as predicting my odds of a winning run at roulette at Bellagio. But people will probably be surprised at regions that are more seismically active than they originally think...

We've been going to have the "big one" sometime in the next thirty years for the past 35 years.

Yeah, but he can remember Loma Prieta, which wasn't considered a 'big one.' yet still had a major impact. The great work by Pete Wilson, Dave Mac, and their teams (Including Pangea Man, I'm fairly sure) was something to see...

This map shows relative shaking hazards in the United States and Puerto Rico. During a 50-year time period, the probability of strong shaking increases from very low (black), to moderate (blue, green, and yellow), to high (orange, pink, and red). Map not to scale. Source: USGS

Texas is pretty safe, too.

I like the sepia tone and the faux graininess. Did you do that in Photoshop?

It was either that or make you yet another ashtray...
