A new USGS study indicates that the San Andreas Fault has reached its highest pressure level in 1,000 years, increasing the likelihood of a massive earthquake in Southern California. Seismologist Dr. Lucy Jones warns that a double fault rupture through the Cajon Pass could be significantly more destructive than the 1989 Loma Prieta quake.

The USGS has unveiled the "Arc Storm" scenario, a hypothetical megastorm that could flood California with feet of water, similar to a storm that occurred in 1861. The hosts mock the "science is in" narrative and search for potential Hollywood movie tie-ins to the disaster scenario.
