Okay, Gunner:

Did you drop a big vertical mill off a truck right about Noon -
12:18 to be precise? From the looks of the map, you were right on top
of it - the seismograph says the epicenter was 10KM underground, but I
know better.

Come on, admit it. ;-)

"The Democratic Party is the party of this popular corruption.
The heart of the Democratic Party and its activist core is
made up of government unions, government dependent professions
(teachers, social workers, civil servants); special interest and
special benefits groups (abortion rights, is a good example) that
feed off the government trough; and ethnic constituencies,
African Americans being the most prominent, who are
disproportionately invested in government jobs and
in programs that government provides.

" The Democratic Party credo is 'Take as much of the people's money as politically feasible, and use that money to buy as many of the people's votes as possible'.
Tax cuts are a threat to this Democratic agenda.
Consequently, Democrats loathe and despise them."
-Semi-reformed Leftist David Horowitz

A tech I worked with spent one lunch break ordering $3000 worth of
reloading supplies. This was right before the Y2K thing, which was
supposed to lead to the global meltdown. He wound up with 140 lb. of
powder in his living room, along with the year's worth of foodstuffs,
etc.

I kidded him that with all his supplies, buried Krugerrands (sp?),
etc., he'd be everybody's favorite target after the meltdown. His
reply was "Come on down. My neighbors are just like me." He lived in
Clute, Texas, so there may have been some validity to his claim.

On the other hand, he's a unique individual. My favorite quote from
him was "I believe the best value for your entertainment dollar is
gasoline."

Clute - I bet they are all geared up and ready more than most of us due to the
massive storms that come their way.

When I lived on the ring of fire - west coast - I lived on one Plate, worked on another -
We saved back several weeks of food for the odd this and that.

Remember the '89 Earthquake - we do. Lived very close by.

When the really BIG one comes, how safe will anyone be in southern CA?

With the infrastructure reduced to dust, there will be many people
looking for anything and will likely be trying to take it from whoever
has it.

So if you live there, how do you prepare?

The biggest recorded earthquake in the U.S. was in Arkansas and Missouri:

How big a post can your newsreader handle?

Here is a start.

As for surviving sociatal upheavel...thats quite another set of links.

I should mention, I lost a house in the Coalinga Earthquake 20 yrs
ago, and when I stand in my front yard now..I can see the San Andreas
Fault.

However, Im a survivalist. Shrug.

I moved out of Tornado Alley to someplace much safer.

Most. According to our old friend, Murphy, when the Big One hits,
everything East of the San Andreas Fault will fall into the Atlantic.

has it.

Just like the guys in Clute, TX. Stock up on food, water, batteries
and other power sources, lanterns/oil, ammo, and weapons to defend it
all. And let your neighbors know in advance that if THEY don't stock
up, too, they're not welcome at your house after (if and when) it
happens. There'll be too many strays (who _didn't_ stock up) to take
'em in without risking your own survival.

We'd all better go stock up before King George gets his 3rd term and
makes war with yet another pair of countries (or ten), eh? Our enemies
(foreign or domestic) could break down our infrastructure far too
easily.

When the big one comes, large fissures will open and then the snakes will
come. There is no way to prepare you just realize it is your time and hope
that the bite of the first rattlesnake will be strong enough to send you off
without feeling the hundreds of bites to come.
