What do you think of it?

This guy seems like he knows what he's talking about. I wouldn't want to live in LA right now.

<Is glad he lives on the other side of L.A.>

<If true, is concerned about closer Hatrackers.>

Bah!

Our geology department's cafeteria is called the Bomb Shelter. Can you say paranoia?

This would be really cool for the Northeast. We're long overdue, and our geology is such that an earthquake can travel further here than out there. I wonder if their info is translated to different geological conditions?

Two out of three ain't bad.

I don' t like the "within the next 50 years" thing. And they haven't updated it since 1987 (for Utah). I miss the olden days of the disaster movies.

I've been hearing about this all day. I don't have time to do a search right now, but I was also hearing that this has been backed up by another research group who confirm that the San Andreas is under more stress than it's experienced in a LONG time.

*shrug* I have bottled water, canned goods, etc. -- have for years. (Well, not the same ones. [Wink] ) I'll review the earthquake safety stuff with my kids.

I lived through the '94 (Northridge) quake (and was 8 months pregnant at the time) with little worse than losing electricity. I guess it's time to look into getting my hands on a ham radio again, so that if something happens, I have backup communication -- and perhaps can help, like in '94.

I still prefer earthquakes to hurricanes. [Big Grin]

pooka, I think the third is the LA prediction. If that's true, it means they are two for two so far. If it's not, I didn't read it as carefully as I should have.
