There may well be such an event on the west coast in the near future. However, there has never been a truly major one within 20 miles of where I live. The closest was the Long Beach temblor in 1933 which was 22 miles from where my 1.377 square-foot mansion lies. Other good-sized shakers have occurred in the north end of the San Fernando Valley which is about 30 miles away.
