Rescuers from SoCal went to Christ Church, NZ to helo in 2000s quakes.Yeah, I lived in California for 30 years. I remember the big one in the Bay Area.
It's easy to be blase about it while there is no crisis, and I make fun of the little ones, but I do remember a smallish 6.1 that set apartment buildings off their foundations and took lives. So, crude of me to make light of it.
But I grew up in CA and I still, to this day, have the mentality. I suppose it would be different if I had lived through a huge one like th last one in Turkey. My wife actually broke down and cried at some of the footage of rescue workers bringing little children out of the rubble.
I do take it serious.
I have only driven through Kingman. I don't think I would like to live there. I bought the parcel to tease a co-worker from California at the time. Was so cheap I paid cash on the spot, around 1,200.00 $ for ten acres including associated fees.I stayed at the Route 66 Motel in Kingman. LOL

Sat through this one.
I almost bought a place over near teh Salton Sea. Right next to the land that is melting. LOL Should've. It was a good bet to get it.I have only driven through Kingman.

Good job surviving the earthquake though.
Well, we don't know its not angry Gods punishing us. But we do know how to combat it.Rescuers from SoCal went to Christ Church, NZ to helo in 2000s quakes.
Came back home with data and info saying all retrofits based on Northridge Quake needed upgrading. I saw plans where if a huge hits where I live -- no one is coming for a while. Streets will be so cluttered Emergency Service will not get through.
Interesting. We now know it's not angry Gods that are gonna punish us for not backing Trump.
Smells bad over by the salton sea... that's all I know about the place.I almost bought a place over near teh Salton Sea. Right next to the land that is melting. LOL Should've. It was a good bet to get it.
Isn't that where they are building a shit ton of Lithium extraction plants? Or is the further south to the mouth of the Colorado?I almost bought a place over near teh Salton Sea. Right next to the land that is melting. LOL Should've. It was a good bet to get it.

I remember watching the Tsunamis of Japan in the last big one and the frightening power of those Gods... So...
A little earthquake, pussy.
Yes. But...Smells bad over by the salton sea... that's all I know about the place.

Blowhards like you I've met.5.1 ain't worth getting out of bed for.
I've seen my share of CA quakes, 1971 Wittier, Coalinga, Loma Prieta, and a 5.1 in Downey in the late 70s. The Wittier and the Loma Prieta were the only ones that were really bad. The others not so much. I figure if its below 6, it is hardly worth a mention.Yeah, I lived in California for 30 years. I remember the big one in the Bay Area.

No sense in panicking. When it is happening, you don't know the magnitude. I was in a 5th story motel room near Downey when that one happened and I woke and felt like a bit of vertigo, saw the swag lamp swinging and went back to sleep. As for blow hard and SoCal. I visited SoCal--you can have it all. Blowhard? I think that must be you.I do not panic. But I am wary and do not loom at quakes so lightly?

Do you have any idea how much the bay area was devastated by the Loma Prieta quake? Probably not. A section of the upper deck of the bay bridge collapsed. Elevated freeways in Oakland and SF collapsed with people in cars crushed--that is the reason there are no double decker freeways in the bay anymore with the exception of part of the bay bridge. Your turn blowhard.Except if you were in a building where people were hurt you'd be...
