Alysha,
That is what I am saying. The San Andreas Fault system is a right-lateral strike-slip fault also known as a transform fault. It is the boundary between the Pacific plate and North American plate. The two are moving parallel past one another which is what causes the EQ's. They move past each other at about the same rate your fingernails grow every year and one day many many MANY years from now, Los Angeles will be right next to San Francisco.
To my knowledge there have never been any Mag. 9.0 earthquakes in California, but in 1906 the San Andreas fault experienced a roughly 7.9-8.2 magnitude earthquake near San Francisco. It ruptured the fault and it didn't fall into the ocean. Also, we do know that the Cascadian Fault system HAS experienced megathrust earthquakes and Washington State nor Oregon or large parts of their states ever fell into the ocean.

Mr. Coombes,
Is it possible? I guess anything our government has it's fingers in is possible. Scientists have noticed that things in the atmosphere and ionosphere change before "big" quakes and since HAARP "plays" around with the ionophere, it could be plausible.
Do I believe that HAARP is causing all of this. Nah, I think it's just earth rockin and rollin and doin' what she does best. But either way, it is a fact that California will see a major earthquake in the future, as well as all the other active areas. So like I said yesterday, there is nothing we can do about it except be vigilant and make sure we are as prepared as possible when it does happen.
