Re: Can have large tsunami but not from that fault

Chris,

I'm at 11,000 words on the prediction alone and it is going to happen under Catalina Island. This works better for me since I was there recently and can recall a lot of island details. So does the fault under the island have a name? It seems to be obscurely hidden. From what I've read it would produce a thrust quake, is that right? Just for fun, suppose there was a 7.7 quake under Catalina, that should be sufficient to trigger a regional quake of 6.3 under LA on the Elysian Park Fault???? Or could it be larger? I know, there are some unknowns.

Tomorrow night, the earthquake will occur on paper. I'll make the popcorn first.
