According to this hypothetical video, a major earthquake that California has not seen in about 300 years will strike tomorrow, November 13, 2008. Thousands could die, many more will be left homeless, infrastructure could be crippled, and there will be hundreds of billions of dollars in damages.
While humans cannot control what nature unleashes upon us, we can however be prepared for such a catastrophic event. That’s what this fantastic video from Theo Alexopoulos is trying to convey to the masses.
A graduate of Art Center College of Design, Theo is a motion-graphics designer who worked with the USGS Multi-Hazards Demonstration Project to make this video about what could happen physically, socially, and economically if the West Coast were hit with the strongest quake in modern history.

amazing video! really gets the message across in a way that still makes you feel empowered.
hahaha. how ironic, art center has sent us out text messages and emails and phone calls for earthquake disaster stuff TODAY.. as a test for all their alert communications.
