You should probably think about moving pretty soon.
I wished no one in RRS lived in California or any of the surrounding
fault areas. Because when it goes down, I mean "really" goes down, it
will be unlike anything just about any of us has seen.
Don't be ridiculous. *We have spent many billions retrofitting in the

Hope you're right Dave, many in La. never thought it would happen to
them either.

We're all aware of the potential. *It's part of the price you pay to

Interesting bit of California's Seismic History.

Extremely informative link RHF, I enjoyed that. The freeking quake was
so strong it changed the current of the river....lol....that is
"almost" unbelievable, like maybe a urban legend. But I have no doubt
that is true and it just shows not only the destruction one can cause
but to literally change current flow.

I can picture two men out there fishing when it went down. I'll leave
the rest to your imagination or heaven forbid a cowboy and his lady
doing the hanky panky, I better stop. ;-)
