the big California earthquake
All the scientists and data say it is going to happen, just a matter of when.
It will be a terrible event......but it would be interesting if it would happen in
our lifetime, just to see what happens.

I suggest you move out there to really experience it. I was in Coalinga working in '83 and Northridge in '94. I live in Texas now because a hurricane gives you warning. In Coalinga, we were in a bar and it saved us from having to pay our tab, of course we lost our stuff when the motel we were staying in collapsed.

I grew up in the Southern California desert, nicknamed "Shake & Bake" for fry-an-omelet-on-the-sidewalk-and-bake-a-fritatta-in-your-car dry but soaring summer temps and frequent ground rumbles. I experienced many tremors, the largest magnitude 7.2 (washed me out of the bathtub!), and it was scary as Hell. Days of aftershocks kept everyone on edge.
Based on the geological speculation I've read, I actually think California may very well undergo a geography-altering quake of spectacular seismic proportion eventually, but who knows when? There's little doubt that tectonic plate pressure is building, and if the "Ring of Fire" theory erupts, destruction may be extensive on the entire West Coast.
Just watched "San Andreas" again last night. Not a well-plotted or believably-acted movie, but the special effects were interesting, although "2012" did Cali catastrophe better and actually showed the state slipping into the sea. Hollywood/LA may become the new Atlantis if the continental shelf gives and all of the subsidiary fault lines start creating crevasses for the ocean's ingress. My old sandy home near the Arizona-Mexico border might end up as beachfront property, cactus swaying in the breeze instead of palm trees.

Might be kind of fun as long as you are not next to something that can fall on you

Alas, there's also the likelihood of the ground opening up and swallowing you. Nowhere safe, or fun, in an earthquake.

The sky is falling.
You can no more stop an earthquake than you can prevent the climate from changing.
You cant stop a volcano from blowing off some steam either.

It is predicted that a long slice of Cali including LA and north up to San Francisco MIGHT separate from the mainland and migrate north toward the Aleutian Islands but (sadly) that will take millions of years.

Been through many California earthquakes. No warnings, they just happen. Not fun or anything I would wish on anyone.
