Going for the trifecta
After Hurricane Katrina, the story was told far and wide of how a Cat-5 hurricane striking New Orleans was the second of three catastrophic disaster scenarios considered "likely" within the next couple of decades. A terrorist attack on New York was one, also, and as we all know, that, too, has come to pass.
The third? A major Bay Area earthquake ... and the experts say the fault along which such a quake would occur is locked and loaded (link contains links to news story and other related online resources). Oh, goody.

Not to nitpik, but I believe Katrina was a cat-3 when she made landfall in LA.
