The Great Chilean Earthquake
No. First, it is impossible to predict when an earthquake will occur. Second, none of the faults in southern California are capable of generating an earthquake anywhere near that intensity. Scientists estimate that the largest earthquake the San Andreas Fault can generate is in the neighborhood of an 8.3.
