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. ) 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.

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.
