The entire state is on the fault. The fault goes from Southern California to Northern California and the scarf shelf can be seen along spots in the San Joaquin Valley. The 1906 San Francisco earthquake was a 7 point quake and even today damaged can be seen in some older buildings. In the 1980's Los Angles was hit with a powerful quake on the fault and freeway overpasses fell.
