Yep. Whether it's my amateur input or a seasoned expert, we just don't know. The southern SA has not ruptured in recorded history. About all we have to go on right now is paleosesmological trench work.
But I know a southern SA quake would be bad. I presume you saw those shake movies of a hypothetical rupture starting in the south and moving north? Yikes. And I live here.
