No. Faults or potential faults would rupture before they could build up enough energy to have a magnitude 20 quake. Maybe a huge meteor impact could cause such an earthquake. It hasn't happened in recorded history.

What would be the biggest possible earthquake that Southern California could recieve?


I like here in the desert Coachella Valley

The Richter scale does not have a limit, but only a few quakes have ever gone above 9. I know there was a quake in Chile in the 1960's that was a 9.5. There was a TV movie called 10.5 that was a "what if"? I think 9.0 is about the worst we could ever reasonably expect, possibly 10 at the absolute worst case. The vast majority of quakes around the world are in the 2-6 range.

    Take the most valuable things with you in the event that you have to evacuate because of direct earthquake damage or because of a fire that follows the quake.
