A devastating earthquake in Venezuela revealed something far bigger than a local disaster: the same kind of fault system runs through the United States. In this video, we look at what happened in Venezuela, why the San Sebastián fault matters, and how its strike-slip behavior compares to the San Andreas Fault in California. We also explore the USGS ShakeOut scenario, the risk of a major Southern California earthquake, and why Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands face a different but equally serious threat from the Caribbean Plate and the Puerto Rico Trench. The real lesson is not just geology. It is preparation. Earthquakes do not become disasters only because the ground shakes. They become disasters when cities, buildings, and infrastructure are not ready. From California’s overdue San Andreas segment to tsunami risk in Puerto Rico, this is why America cannot afford to ignore what happened in Venezuela. -- DISCUSSIONS & SOCIAL MEDIA Commercial Purposes: insanecuriositybusiness@
