Earthquake in Southern California?

I'm a little nervous about the big one hitting bc our duplex was built in 1919 and it's two stories. it survived northridge I guess. I try to be prepared but I also don't think about it. Everyone I know assumes a 7.0 will hit sooner rather than later but then again we all might be mouldering away dead for years before it occurs. Who knows?

There was an article in the latimes about how the water system will break into a million pieces once a big quake hits. Really should have water on hand. =\

I used to think abt quakes more when I worked on the top floor of an old building on spring st in downtown. not sure if one of those big lads would collapse in a quake but a lot of the facades would drop right down onto the streets and sidewalks.

i would have second and third thoughts about moving to california for this very reason. although these days i probably should be just as worried about the eastern seaboard. basically my plan to buy up land in michigan's upper peninsula really ought to be taking shape by now.

just had a 5 off santa cruz island. it was probably the most intense that I've experienced.

ha felt it

i've felt worse

That was fun. Dude in the store looks at me like "uhhh what's this?"

The medical office building on the corner emptied out apparently.

I was taking a shower, in a mild version of my worst earthquake nightmare.
