Wow! The world turns. We had a public service notice on the TV yesterday warning Albertans to be aware of what to do in an earthquake emergency......... Here? |

A volcano (Mount Ontake), part of the Ring of Fire, in Japan has claimed the lives of hikers, at least 30 are feared dead. I'm firmly in the camp of legging it. Member of the People Encouraging Niceness In Society club. |

Saw something on the news about an earthquake in South America too - but didn't catch which country - so just did a search (didn't pin it down) and came across this instead... which people probably already know about, but I didn't :) Gosh there's a lot of shaking going on :/ edit @Zapped :) I'm firmly in the camp of legging it. Squealing? :) Or something pitched a little lower... |

I live in the south end of Los Angeles county. I remember the Whittier earthquake - it moved every large object in our house 4 inches south. I use this site (http://quakes.globalincidentmap.com/) to look at earthquakes worldwide. It seems the USA gets earthquakes along the west coast and in Oklahoma. |

As for running, I wouldn't be there on foot in the first place. David Sitting on my butt while others boldly go, Waiting for a message from a small furry creature from Alpha Centauri. |

Gosh there's a lot of shaking going on :/ Yes, zoom in on Mammoth Lakes CA, (Long Valley) and last week something over 1,000 earthquakes. http://volcanoes.usgs.gov/observatories/calvo/ wrote: Despite the several felt earthquakes, this is still rather modest activity compared with the much more energetic swarms occurring in the 1980s and 1990s. |

I am not sure if it is still official. But the state of Oklahoma in the United States has had more earthquake activity than California. The last one I felt was when my alarm went off and I was debating if I wanted a few more 💤. Then my bed suddenly had magic fingers massage. I decided the 💤 could wait. |

According to the US Geological Survey and San Francisco State University 3 Californian faults are primed and overdue for a major earthquake. Cheers. |

Yeah, and thta little jolt in Napa a few weeks ago probably didn't provide much relief. Now if these fine scientific minds could just tell us WHEN all hell is going to bust loose on those flauts.....

According to the US Geological Survey and San Francisco State University 3 Californian faults are primed and overdue for a major earthquake. I saw a report on this on TV. One of the faults goes right through Danville... U-Verse hasn't had an outage, yet; however, if after the big one hits and I'm offline for more than a few days, pray for me... (If U-Verse goes down, I lose my Vonage home phone, too...) TimeLord04 Have TARDIS, will travel... Come along K-9! Join Calm Chaos |

You can take your Vonage box somewhere else and plug it into internet and it will work. After my father died, I brought his home and kept it active for a couple of months.
