I find the sense of doom about earthquakes a little strange. don't get me wrong, I would prefer not to have to be here when the "big one" comes but only 57 people died in Northridge. Which obviously is not good but when I lived in Chicago in 1995 during the famous heatwave and something like 600 people died in heat-related deaths. And then there is probably a lot of people who died during the winter due to the cold/ice-related car accidents

I just seems like there are far more weather-related deaths in a given winter or summer elsewhere in the country than there have been earthquake deaths in the past 50 years

I remember my freshman year in university, my roomate was from Wilmington N.C. and when I told him where I was from, he asked me how I could live there that It was crazy. What is more crazy, living where earthquakes happen once a generation (big ones at least) or living in a town where your house is blown down by a hurrican every 3-4 years?

Rob, we should do lunch sometime? Add Robin to that invite as well. :yes:

This might just solve the California budget crisis. Plus, Arizona and Nevada will be beachfront property. A win/win. :dance:

Then all the homes in AZ and NV that are sucking us dry due to losing so much value will quadruple in price...wooot :dance:

Every heard of the New Madrid Earthquakes?

Yes! And this one actually worries me far more than the San Andreas fault - the potential for the next major New Madrid earthquake borders on the cataclysmic. This is the ''big one' coming that will make the Katrina after-effects seem tame. There are very few earthquake-proof structures in the affected area (4 different states) although some of the cities are trying to incorporate earthquake proof designs into new structures. Liquifaction will be a big factor here as well.

“...Isn't it splendid to think of all the things there are to find out about? It just makes me feel glad to be alive--it's such an interesting world. It wouldn't be half so interesting if we knew all about everything, would it? There'd be no scope for imagination then, would there?”

. Lucy Maude Montgomery, Anne of Green Gables
