LA being a center for banking and other things, a big enough quake might be enough to start the economic dominos falling. Of course it isn't if a really bad seismic event is coming but rather when.

In a doomsday scenario, hippies will be among the first casualties. So not everything about doomsday will be bad.

Yeah, the panic is on right now...

...but usually a bad one is made worse when predictions of immenent doom is not immediately realized...

...as fault lines pause and people relax, they tend to go back into a normal routine...

..when a big one rips loose I am thinking there won't be much in the way of a real warning.

I think you'll notice without being told...

That Quake on Saturday was interesting, I am located just south of the Santa Ana pin point in Libertas's map.  It lasted a while 20-40 seconds and was a rolling quake.  I had boxes stacked to the ceiling in my garage but nothing fell.  The cat was freaked out for a while.  That was the first decent sized quake I've felt in a couple of years.

Yeah, I'm not a big quake taker...experienced some small ones in SoCal before, but the earth going apenuts underneath me is not something I care to get used to and certainly nothing I want to choose to live with...
