Sgt. Pepper Posted September 11, 2023 Share Posted September 11, 2023 (edited) I lived by the San Andres Fault line when I lived in California. I think I stood about 5 feet from it when I went to Mission San Juan Capistrano for a class field trip in about 8th grade. Looks like some crumpled up dirt. Edited September 11, 2023 by Sgt.

Dub-T-123 Posted September 11, 2023 Share Posted September 11, 2023 We just had a little quake a couple weeks ago only slightly smaller than this one at the epicenter. I didn’t even get up off the couch. California is quite different than Morocco. I’m not too worried 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Notes_Norton Posted September 11, 2023 Share Posted September 11, 2023 Fortunately, I don't live in an earthquake zone. Instead, we get hurricanes. But if I'm going to live in a zone with chances of a natural disaster, hurricanes are preferred. At least we get time to prepare for the event. I was in a slight earthquake in California. Unfortunately, I was driving on a rural highway when it happened, so I didn't notice it. That evening it was on the news. Notes ♫ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tx-ogre Posted September 11, 2023 Share Posted September 11, 2023 I was stationed in 29 Palms back in 1979 and experienced my only earthquake. A pretty mild one. Been through numerous hurricanes/typhoons, blizzards and even a tornado or two over the years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saturn Posted September 12, 2023 Share Posted September 12, 2023 Only one I ever felt was in 2011 when one hit the East Coast. It shook our machine shop pretty good. Also damaged the Washington Monument in DC. But I think the OP was a metaphor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fortyearspickn Posted September 12, 2023 Share Posted September 12, 2023 I don't think earthquakes are in the Top Ten of things we have to worry about as a country. Maybe we should have a "National Honey Do" list. Don't put earthquakes on it until science figures out how to prevent them. Would be like my wife telling me the tree in the front yard needs to be twice as tall. We can put tougher building codes in place to withstand stronger earthquakes, but that is as likely as me telling Mrs.40 she just needs to be half as tall.

DanvillRob Posted September 12, 2023 Share Posted September 12, 2023 Ya'll know I live in Northern California. I was in the back yard of my house, (on the edge of a cliff), when Loma Prieta hit! But that's not the thing I wanted to say. When I was stationed in Chambersburg, PA in 1971, there was a HUGE earthquake in Los Angeles...Killed close to 60 people. I was working with a guy from New Jersey...he said to me, How can you live in that state? I told him the 'big' earthquakes happen about once every 70 years or so.... and this quake is as far from my home as Charlotte, NC is from here. I also told him more people die due to weather on the East Coast each year than died in this earthquake. But.... I sure hope they discover a way to predict earthquakes better in the future!

Larsongs Posted September 13, 2023 Share Posted September 13, 2023 I used to work for Southern California Edison in Palm Springs, Ca. years ago in my youth.. Occasionally I had to go out in the Desert & check Power lines & Meters.. I used to find Sea Shells out in the middle of nowhere in the Desert.. A reminder that this hasn’t always been a Desert…. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let me know.. I'll make sure to let you know next time I'm there....the dog show is usually the first weekend after the New Year. We might be there this New Year.... we usually drive to Bakersfield, spend the night, then on to Palm Springs..... do the same thing backwards when we return. We have a new Affenpincher Puppy ***** we'll be showing, so there's a good chance we'll head down there, (depends on the judges). It'd be fun!

Can't believe they blocked out "BlTCH" in my post.... it's the proper name for a female dog..... the actual award given toward their championship is "WINNERS BlTCH".
