Scarey West Valley Faults,,,,

How accurate these seismologist' and volcanologist' study and predictions that West Valley Faults already ripen and expected to erupt anytime from now. Alarming and scary! Always announced on tv to inform people  that it generates 7.2 magnitude earthquake and tsunami with 4 meters high. Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) head said that it destroys low cost homes, bridges and schools and kills hundreds thousand people in Metro Manila. I think these studies and predictions are true and the only thing to do to is  just always be ready and alert to apply the  earthquake safety measures in case it occur. Pray to God. He is there knows what the best for us.
