and scientists tell us that southern California is way overdue for a major earthquake.\u00a0 When that stress is finally released, the U.S. Geological Survey says that we could be looking at hundreds of billions of dollars in damage.\u00a0 If you follow my work regularly, then you already know that there has been unusual shaking all along the \u201cRing of Fire\u201d so far in 2016.\u00a0 But thankfully the west coast of the United States has been spared from a major disaster up to this point.\u00a0 Unfortunately, scientists assure us that it is only a matter of time before one strikes, and that is why it is so alarming that the ground surrounding the San Andreas fault has been \u201crising and sinking\u201d.\u00a0 The following comes from\u00a0<a title=\"the Los Angeles Times\"

scientists have produced a computer image showing huge sections of California rising and sinking around the San Andreas fault<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>The vertical movement is the result of seismic strain that will be ultimately released in a large earthquake.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The California coastline is where two enormous tectonic plates come together.\u00a0 The Pacific plate and the North American plate are slowly but surely moving against one another, and this creates a tremendous amount of geological stress.\u00a0 While areas on both sides of the San Andreas fault have been steadily rising and sinking as a result of this stress, there are sections of the fault itself that have remained \u201clocked\u201d for more than 100 years, and other sections that have remained
