Moderate Calif. quake a drill for the `Big One' - Yahoo! News
Yesterday's earthquake may help remind people that the `Big One'is coming.
"To prepare for the "Big One," scientists and emergency planners in the fall will hold what is billed as the largest earthquake drill in the country. It will be based on a hypothetical magnitude-7.8 temblor. Earlier this year, scientists calculated that California faces a 99.7 percent chance of a magnitude-6.7 quake or larger in the next 30 years."
