![]() ![]() In a real-life scenario, however, the duration of the "Big One" would likely be much shorter as the faults aren't capable of producing that kind of magnitude (Case in point, the 1906 San Francisco earthquake hit a magnitude 7.8 and lasted around a mere minute, foreshocks included). The quake clocks at around 4 to 5 minutes, which for a quake greater than magnitude 9.0 is technically correct despite duration and magnitude having no concrete link. With the limits to the faults in mind, the duration of the quake in the film is also questionable.The Richter Scale is being directly associated with damage which is not its design or function damage-based assessment is the Mercalli scale. The Strike-Slip plates around LA can only hold about an 8.0 (which is 'only' 1000 atom bombs). The greatest quake recorded in history was 9.5 in Chile, 1960. You don't get 9.9 on the Richter Scale, because rock lacks the capability to build up that much pressure before it gives to the quake.The other tenants of his building (a whole lot of Jerkasses) have no problem assuming that he's gay and riff him out over it-which means he's got quite a good reason to blow them all away when they meet again and he's packing a rifle and orders to keep the peace by any means necessary. His dresser has several pinned pictures of semi-naked men (although due to his interest in Rosa, it may have just been aids for his exercising-it is never clearly said). ![]()
