It may be time to look at bug out plans for the CA folks.

San Andreas fault. Per scientists, yep the same ones that predicted the New Madrid fault quake a few years ago, are saying CA;s big fault is locked, loaded and way over due.

If I lived in southern CA now I would have my H2O, extra food, toilet shovel, tp, guns and ammo ready.

One of these days a prediction will happen. This one is 200-500 years over due depending on which part of the fault you are standing on.

If there is one thing that is for certain, nature befuddles even the best scientists and does what it want, when it wants regardless of predictions.

When I lived in the Bay Area during the 70s there were folks buying inflatable life rafts cuz California was going to snap off and fall into the ocean. I can just see some guy puffing up his inflatable life raft as a 500ft tsunami casts a shadow over him....

The underground bunkers for when Russia launched missiles on us were great for partying with our girlfriends. Hippie chicks and underground bunkers... it don't get much better than that!

There hasn't been a really big quake on the New Madrid fault since the 60's. The last guy that predicted a quake around here, a dude named Iben Browning, said there'd be a big one the first week of December, 1990. The only movement of the earth that week was the rumbling of the 30 some odd satellite trucks parked on the levee in downtown New Madrid. Browning was revealed as a nutbag . . .

They have literally been saying that for 50 years.

I remember a cartoon in magazine showing two well dressed men walking down the street passing a guy holding a sign that says:

"The world ends today."

One of the men said to the other:

"You know.... one of these days he will be right."

The sad thing is that several people were so frightened by Browning's prediction that they sold their property and moved away from the area.

Maybe. I've lived here all my life and I don't know of anyone that moved specifically because of the prediction. I guess if they're that crazy, I don't mind losing them. I know the rest of us just bought earthquake riders to go with our flood insurance . . .

 

[Grayfox]

Well they say Yellowstone is way overdue too. Maybe we should evacuate the entire Northwest.

 

[Lee Barner]

I am just 40 miles east of the boot heel of MO and we feel a little bump in the night once in a while. usually my earthquake monitor(dog) feels them and barks when we don't. I also have earthquake insurance just in case. lee

Aaahh, but when the prediction comes true...My co-worker on the night shift in Los Angeles during the Northridge earthquake in 94, walked out after the shaking stopped and never returned. Didn't say a word, give notice, or leave a forwarding address for his last paycheck.

 

[Doug627]

I don't mind them bugging out but please go the New York or some other liberal state and keep out of mine.

If the Yellowstone super volcano goes, so does just about everyone.

 

[Arik]

We're over due for a bunch of stuff. Some volcanos, a meteor, a massive sun flare. So....where do we bug out to?

Would anyone really miss California if it fell off in the ocean lock stock and barrel?

Think of the great ocean front property that would become available in Arizona and Nevada.

 

[Fishslayer]

I bugged out for a fire once but why would I bug out for an earthquake?

 

[model70hunter]

Quake or no quake, If I was chained to CA I would be buying more ammo.

We've got more than enough here already, thank you very much.

You won't even notice one or two more. Be like throwing a bucket of water in the ocean. Larry

Maybe it's time for the seismologists to apply for
more funding. Hey, it worked for the climate guys....

Aloha,

If California goes, the mile high Plus Tsunami will wash over all of Hawaii.

Hawaii will only be a couple of lumps in the Pacific.

We hope to be in Texas Hill Country when it happens.

 

[bushmaster1313]

There is a 100% correlation between global climate change and the lack of major seismic action along thd San Andreas fault.

Ergo, limiting our carbon footprint would lead directly to a major earthquake in Southern California.

Don't doubt me. I took a statistics class in graduate school and I know my stuff.

 

[colkid]

Yogi In Hill Country, if the U.S. gets anymore crazy I will be down there.
Save me a barbecued steak.
I will come with my own guns and ammo, but I am usually buying more.

 

[Jessie]

I didn't think something like "Prepping" was even allowed in California.

 

[ChattanoogaPhil]

I've lived in different parts of America. There are few places I consider as great as the Bay Area where I grew up.

A great deal of my misspent youth was riding bikes and partying on Mt Diablo, or boating, fishing and skiing. Within hours you're at the most beautiful coastline on Earth, the Redwoods up north or Sierras to the east.

I understand there's been great change over the years, and not for the best. Regardless, that part of the country is still like paradise.

When the big one happens up here in the Pacific NW, a full-fracture 9.2 to 9.5 Cascadia Subduction blow-out, I'll probably die. And it will happen. We're 316 years into a 243-year cycle. The plates are moving, the pressure is building, and when it pops, the whole region will drop six feet and move a hundred feet back to the West in about four minutes of shaking. Because of inertia, most buildings, roads, and bridges won't move as fast; the result will be obvious. That's not some predictive model, but simple physics.

I'm old enough to take my chances. At least until it happens, I'm safe here from all the stuff that threatens people in "safe" areas of America every year. No hurricanes, no tornadoes, no Mississippi washing my trailer away, no blizzards consisting of more than a few snowflakes, very few presidential candidates .....

 

[chaparrito]

The complacency of Californios in this regard has always baffled me. They build their houses on wildfire burnt hillsides and then wail and beat their chests when the mudslides come. No wonder they're so hedonistic. Every single day could quite literally be their last.

 

[RobertJ.]

I live with a view of the Pacific, and I don't spend much time worrying about it!

Yes, we know it's going to happen. Most here (I would hope) have a plan for when it does. I have a tsunami grab-and-go bag in my house, and one in my car. Not that those will be of much help in the event of a really big one.

You could spend your time worrying about it, and then get hit by a truck tomorrow!

 

[wbraswell]

There are people who left the Arklatex because of tornadoes, and moved to California. There are more major hurricanes hit the gulf coast than major quakes in CA. Not many folks giving up their beach houses down there. Like is full of risks, that's why it's called living.

 

[bushmaster1313]

You need to think of priorities first. The most important component of your grab and go bag is a bottle opener.

This is because, after the Big One hits, it will be near impossible to find cold beer in screw top glass bottles.
