Release Date: 1988
It's coming, sometime within your lifetime, as inexorably as approaching thunder -- the biggest earthquake to hit the West Coast since San Francisco was demolished in 1906. This time the target most likely will be southern California and the sprawling, populous city of Los Angeles. And this time the devastation will be greater than ever before, because in the eighty-odd years since the last great quake we have become so much more dependent on our technology.
Superquake!
After a discussion of plate tectonics, the author describes the worst possible earthquake that could hit Los Angeles.
