Los Angeles had its last major magnitude since 1680, which is 335 years. Dr. Jones is an Earthquake seismologist, her nick name is Earthquake lady. Los Angeles was built on 50s and 60s so that's why Dr. Jones worried about the old concrete buildings that have not been retrofitted and could topple, or collapse inwardly into a pancake.
Retrofitting means that reinforcing building with steel braces. The prediction for a 7.5 magnitude Earthquake event Puente Hills is it would be an Earthquake from hell. San Andreas is 30 miles away from Los Angeles. I think the movie should change the title to Puente Hills to be more interesting and more attractive and also give a prediction for an earthquake.
