You, like many people, heard false statements. It isn't going to break off from the rest of the US. If anything part of Southern California will shift North. Even this will take many years and many earthquakes to happen.

Now go home and get yer *beep* shinebox.

Yeah, that was the plot to Superman. It is fantasy.

As was said when there is an earthquake in California it movessideways along the two plates. It's said in however many thousands of years Los Angeles and San Fransisco will be next to each other.

Actually the two crustal plates on either side of the San Andreas Fault are constantly moving past each other imperceptibly slowly. When friction causes the plates to lock together, the stress builds up until it's suddenly released, causing an earthquake.

This will only happen if Superman can't stop Lex Luther.

I would like to go back in time and kill the idiot who created the term "reimagining."

I don't care about California. I only care about Canada. A 10.5 earthquake would upset my coffee machine!
