It was only 4.4..shrug..but it was about 4 miles away to the
epicenter. Not hard enough to do any damage, but my Mt. Dew started
swaying pretty good and I had to reach for it before it fell over.

Looking over the map of recent rumblings..they are working west
again...towards the big faults in the L.A area.

We Californians don't **** ourselves from a, "rather minor", 4.4 magnitude
earthquake.

Not that I want to sound boastful or anything like that, but when you have lived
in California for more than 20 years, you get used to them. You learn to live
with them, recognize them. I am sure Gunner will agree with this.

There are literally many hundreds of earthquakes a year in California ranging
from daily mini earthquakes, to the somewhat larger ones of 3 to 4. Anything
under 5, we consider minor.

Take a look at this USGS (US Geological Survey) site for daily earthquake
information. http://earthquake.usgs.gov/recenteqs/

You can find, that we had a 1.4 earthquake near Piedmont and Oakland, just about
15 minutes ago. And another 1.4 near The Geysers about 10 minutes ago.

Crazy Guy, call youself a survivalist ? Have you ever heard on unnecceary
risk?, I know CA is pretty but surely a man of your talent could find
somewhere to live that is not trying to make itself part of the pacific
ocean?. After 83 you could have move somewhere safe like say New Madrid ?

I think 6 is the cutoff, with a 5 it is kind of hard to tell if it was an
earthquake or just gas.

I was in my lock shop for the 89 World Series quake about 10 miles from the
epicenter. That was kind of fun and I only had to pick up about 100 key
blanks.

Aware driver....the current truck has 350,000 miles on it and (1) one
ticket for crossing into a car pool lane in the wrong place ( was
avoiding a moron in a Mercedes waving his hands talking on a cell
phone.)

Last ticket prior to that was in 1972. Only accident was in 1971 when
the copper tubing brake lines in my new (to me) Rambler station wagon
blew out 5 miles from the sellers house at a stop light.

Knock on wood, prayers to St. Christopher, incense to Buddah etc.

Not bad for a bit over 2 million miles driven in every kind of rolling
stock you can imagine, from motorcycles to 20 ton drilling rigs and
dynamite vans.

One that is designed not to fall apart with a little shaking. After every
earthquake destroyed structures are analyzed to discover why they had
failed. Designs are then improved to prevent failure.

As an example in the 89 quake it was noted that the houses that fell down in
San Francisco had lower floors that did not have enough bracing. As a
result the building racked sideways causing it's collapse.

These structures were also built on filled in area of mud flats, and this
caused the ground to shift more than stable ground.

The solution was to engineer the buildings better. Plywood is now securely
screwed to lower framing members to prevent the racking, and building codes
were strengthened to require more steel connectors in the construction.

That may already be the case. Some time ago I asked a fellow immigrant, who
happens to be a French jew, why he immigrated to the US.

In typical Jewish fashion he answered my question with the question. "What is
the biggest Arab country not at war with Israel?" he asked.

"France?" is answered.

"Bingo", he said.

I don't know about England. What I do know, is that things are not much

was growing up, is now a mosque. And the neighborhood I grew up in, is now a
Turkish neighborhood.

It's not unwise to remember that Mother Nature is essentially a
murderous, sneakly, promiscuous bitch who has been trying to kill you
since your conception.

Eventually she will succeed, perhaps with the help of your fellow man.

Life consists in putting off the inevitable as long as possible and
taking what good and joy you can before her success.

Whether you attribute that situation to evolutionary forces, a fallen
nature after Adam and Eve screwed the pooch, or whatever, it's no less true.

Be friendly, pleasant, unaggressive, and honest toward all and be
prepared to ignore, avoid, or even kill anyone who is otherwise toward
you. Being ready doesn't mean eager, just ready. What true friends are
found in life will undestand and accept that fundamental rule of human
interaction." John Husvar
