Therapy Dog Donating Member | OMG - I hope you guys are all right - I'll have to turn on Fox News to see if they mention it. Keep safe!! Believe it or not we had one here in NE Ohio back in the 80s that really shook the house and that was only a 5.something and that was scary.

It was centered in Lake Elsinore, 2 miles down. 4.2 on the scale, small by comparison....there was a 2. something or other, didn't feel that one.

| The biggest fault is in MO and is due at anytime.

It won't make the news. My husband just got the stats for it. It was only a 4.7. We felt it especially strong here because the epicenter was only 11 miles from us. If it isn't felt in Los Angeles, it doesn't make the news unless someone dies or there is serious damage. | |

| Glad it wasn't any bigger. It's almost been 18 years since the last big one in nor cal. We forget how bad they can be until we get our reminders. Now is a good time to make sure we have our earthquake supplies ready.

| That's why I continue to live in CA. I don't think I could handle tornados or hurricanes.

| If any shaking goes on then I just walk outside and wait it out. I moved here in July of 85 and have only felt a little trimble twice. I wouldn't trade where I live for anyplace else in the US, but I could be talked into moving to Spain or Italy. |

| I'd rather take our hurricanes. The thought of being sucked up into the earth scares the heck out of me. I'll never visit California, because I'm afraid I'd bring the big one. LOL

Same here! At least we have tornado warnings and most of the time are able to get to a safe place. I don't think I would like always wondering when a big one (earthquake) would hit and not have my son near me.

| potential disaster list I have read that there is no "safe" place in the USA from earthquakes, as the Teutonic plates keep shifting ... and it is truly just a matter of time. there will always be natural disasters to deal with and we all learn to deal with our own .... so as CA deals with earthquakes, FL deals with hurricanes, the mid west deals with tornadoes and other areas deal with droughts and forest fires, we all adapt ... if you want to worry... here are the potential disasters in a list ... Aircraft Avalanche Dam Drought Earthquake Epidemic Explosion Fire Flood Hurricane Marine Mine Oil Spill Railroad Submarine Terrorist Attack Tornado Winter Storm will LA become a suburb of San Francisco one day??? http://www.answerbag.com/q_view/43556 yep, most likely, but will WE be around to see it??? Unlikely!!! so enjoy the "now" and stay safe!!!! and MistyinCa I am glad you are safe ....

I've lived in tornado country...I'll take earthquakes....I can count on one hand the number of earthquakes I've experienced in my lifetime and most of them were minor. I got tired of getting the dogs and myself to the safe zone on the average of once a week during the tornado zone. Homes and business, freeways are built to withstand most earthquakes. If a tornado hits you, you're out of luck, no matter how much of a warning you get.

No Longer a Member | Really, the earthquakes we have are no big deal. I've lived here all my life, and I've never seen a picture fall off the wall, or a glass fall over and break. The very most that has ever happened has been seeing a chandelier swing. Or hangers swing in a closet. A hurricane does way more damage. |
