California's countdown has already started - it will be destroyed by a powerful earthquake that will happen till the year 2037, thinks Ned Field - the seismologist of the Pasadena Geological service. The research of the scientist that have led to this sensational apocalyptic prognosis show that during the next 30 years there is a probability of 99,7% that an earthquake with the 6,7 magnitude Richter will destroy the western coast of the USA. And the probability for the South California is greater than for the North California - 97% against 93%.

The last time when a powerful earthquake has struck California was in 1994. During he Northridge catastrophe 72 people died and more then 9 thousands became victims. The USA economics has lost 25 billion dollars.

California is one of the most seismically active world regions. More than 300 geological breaks are registered there. Each year only in the South California about 10 thousands of earthquakes are being registered, though most of them are weak and the inhabitants of the state do not notice these.
