thought my house was coming down in 94 during the northridge quake, and I was near the beach in west l.a., twenty+ miles away... I was sure it was the north end of the long beach fault (less than half a mile away)...

It was ridiculous.

We had a documented earthquake ova 11.0 people were thrown 6ft in2 the air a crashed down az the earth went up. Happnd in the 1800z

People told us when we moved to California that no matter how bad it seems, if you're still aware during the shaking, you will survive. That, plus the Triangle of Life, seemed to give hope.

California is long overdue for a really big quake. The reason I refuse to live in San Francisco or anywhere along major fault lines. I have emergency supplies ready, mostly water and food.

Well all we can hope for is the epicenter to be right in Hollywood.. no more lousy moves lol.

There's nothing like experiencing a strong earthquake in a high rise rise building.
The building just keeps swaying, swaying, swaying, for 20~30 minutes. Sort of like being on a boat.

I am always afraid that if I listen to people discuss this subject that the subject they are talking about is going to come to fruition immediately after discussion takes place. I'm very superstitious like that.

AppealPlay · July 30, 2015, 10:29:47 PM

I'm never been in a terrible earthquake. The biggest I've ever experienced is the Mineral quake which was a 5.8 and it was too bad (I did lose one of my favorite coffee mugs, though).

Hautex · July 30, 2015, 10:29:58 PM

Just in case, bought one of the old style phones that will work by only being logged in to the phone jack, no power needed. Like the old "princess" style phone, and also printed out my contact phone numbers, since they were all only available with the use of electricity. Who else has done this?

A big quake in California is safe bet. I've been through a few small ones in the bay area in years past but nothing to write home about. It's coming, I can feel it in my bones and my bones ain't never lied.

Me too. However, Southern California and the Bay Area have retrofitted a lot of the older buildings and freeway overpasses etc, so it might hold up ok. An earthquake hitting some random state that is not prepared for it, is where the most damage will happen. I live in denial, I'm happier that way.

Hi

I'm a Time Traveler and have been having a lot of fun reading Bellgab since Art returned. Also, 2 nights ago, hearing RCH.

I live near downtown San Francisco. I'm one of the hundreds of members who've joined SF's Neighborhood Emergency Response Team and have been for over 7 years. We've been trained to take care of ourselves after a major disaster because the SF Fire Dept. thinks stocking up and preparing for self-sufficiency for 72 hours is just not enough. Think 5 days. The Earthquake Go bag is nothing to take lightly.

Herbn-Legend · July 30, 2015, 10:31:29 PM

A big 1 wil hav world wide repercussionz, sunami an changing the rotation of the earth is the real problem with a BIG 1😔

GeoNemesis · July 30, 2015, 10:31:47 PM

Minor thunderstorms right over Art and the stream hasn't suffered yet! Got my Weatherspark on Las Vegas and home...

(Home is many miles from those faults - closer to the New Madrid than the western faults, but still safe enough away)

Pumamama · July 30, 2015, 10:31:54 PM

My concern after the big one, assuming I survive, will be the tumultuous mass exodus in the following days.

grew up in HMB, ca. Once came home from school after an earthquake and a salt water fishtank had fallen over, fish all lost. sucked to be the first home to see the carnage.
