POWERFUL EARTHQUAKE WILL LEAVE CALIFORNIA STANDING

BUT PLUNGE THE REST OF THE COUNTRY INTO THE OCEAN, EXPERT SAY

A DEVASTATING earthquake will strike California in the next five to ten years -- with a force so powerful it will plunge the rest of the country into the sea, and leave the Golden State intact, experts say.

"For years, people have been saying California will someday fall into the ocean," seismologist Ron Felgar said. "Turns out California will actually be the safest place to be when the big one hits."

Felgar predicted that an earthquake measuring 15.0 on the Richter scale -- the largest in recorded history -- will rock the western United States. California's location directly atop numerous fault lines will cause the impact there to be diffused.

"The damage to the other states will be catastrophic," Felgar said. "Tidal waves will wash around California and swamp the rest of the country. Most of the survivors from the sunken states will head to California, resulting in massive overcrowding.

"If people thought the traffic in L.A. was bad before," he said, "it's about to get a whole lot worse."
