Californians, are you preparing for the earthquake?

So, I watched this video.





And it seems that there is a good chance that there will an earthquake in the West-coast of the US in a couple of days.


Are you preperaring for it?

Better be safe than sorry, right?

Or do you think this is not an indication of an earthquake?

This is another video about the early warning system about the earthquake.




Is there an evacuation plan?

If you live in that area, do you have a personal evacuation plan?

Never heard of carbon monoxide having anything to do with earthquakes. Cali is part of the ring of fire so some earthquake activity is normal. Earthquake perparedness is common. How does this compare to the recent earthquakes to the other loctions along the ring? If something major happens with in the next couple of days then we will know. But that could be the effects of El Nino.

Isn't it stressful to live in that area?

I mean, are you afraid?

I know that he most likely disaster to happen here is a flooding. And as I live in a flat, I know I can survive a moderate flood, so I'm not worried.

But I can't imagine how scared I would be with these kind of reports showing up.

Major earthquakes are scary. Major anything is scary. I don't understand living in tornedo areas, but people do it because the truly devastating stuff is rare. Who lives anywhere and lives with the possiblity of nothing?

Well there were 36 earthquakes throughout the entire world today so far. Most under 5.0, mostly unfelt. Greece was 5.0 I think, they might have felt that. There was one in Cali, a 2.something or other, nobody cared.

Well, I've seen a lot of instances, that theories were ridiculed as 'conspiracy' and then turned to be true.

So, this is a discussion about two rivaling theories, that only can be proven to be right or wrong after an earthquake.

It's easy to dismiss theories, just because they get published on internet. To me, that is a non-argument.

In 'your' article, one expert is clear and states that it is possible that there will be an earthquake tommorrow, but it can also be over 100 years. The other article states that the alteration of the gas in the air can be an indication of an upcoming earthquake.


Both authors point out that it are theories and not facts.

That puts it in perspective.

Remember the old days, when our grandparents only knew what happened in the next village?

Gone are the days of getting your information over the back fence.

Over here we don't know that kind of tornado's. Our national wheather code is either Orange: don't go cycling outside and Red: You better stay insided and avoid travels. Even in the car.

Would be great if earthquakes could be predicted. I have been in about three. Can't say I would want to live near the ring of fire, ever again. Then again. Some people are used to earthquakes once or twice a month. Now that tornado video is nuts! I think I would rather live in a place that had earthquakes than a place that had tornados.

They're working on it. Imagine being able to control these things. Maybe not in my lifetime but I don't think it's that far away.

I've been here all my life so for the most part they don't bother me, but then I've never been in a truly devastating one. I have noted I don't feel the rolling ones anymore and it's made me curious, but it could have something to do with building designs. I was on the 24th floor during a pretty stern one and the building just swayed a bit back and forth. It was later explained that the building's foundation is on some type of rollers to move with the quake as opposed to resisting it.

Nah, we shouldn't be experiencing much "earthquake weather" then.

They aren't seasonal, and you can go for years without feeling one. When you do, by the time you notice it's usually over. I've lived here all my life (decades) never been in the middle of a major one, I've been around the outer edges of major ones, they last longer and can rattle your nerves a bit. They do happen all up and down the state.
