Not to say that it is impossible, but it is unlikely. the San Andreas fault is pretty big and would take a major earthquake to break off. http://earthquake.usgs.gov/learning/faq.php?categoryID=6&faqID=19 This site explains the myths about earthquakes
http://pubs.usgs.gov/gip/earthq3/safaultgip.html this is lengthy but will explain to you the Andreas Fault in depth.
just off the coast of California is not miles deep of ocean. There is a beach that gets deeper the farther you go out into it, just like on the Atlantic side. California would not just float off into the ocean and sink. The ocean floor has plates underneath as well (which can cause tsunamis)

One day everything EAST of the San Andreas Fault will break away and plunge underneath the Atlantic Ocean.

It will then become an island just like Hawaii. I don't think any of us will be here to see it, but it is bound to happen one day.
