as well as the immigration sweeps that have rocked Southern

California.

And in other news, a recent study on a deadly earthquake in Myanmar is giving scientists

new clues about California's next big one.

Reporter Rong Gong-Lin II says the magnitude 7.7 quake in March ruptured 317 miles of Sagan fault.

It was the longest continental rupture ever recorded and a fault strikingly similar to California's San Andreas.

Researchers at Caltech say the findings show earthquakes never strike the same way twice, meaning California's next

megaquake may not look like 1906 or 1857. They say the next step is a massive computer

simulation of the San Andreas, a complex project that could reveal every possible rupture

scenario. It could be smaller or even bigger, possibly
