http://news.yahoo.com/s/latime...ter=1Excerpt:"U.S. Geological Survey seismologist Lucy Jones remembers attending an emergency training session in August 2001 with the Federal Emergency Management Agency that discussed the three most likely catastrophes to strike the United States.First on the list was a terrorist attack in New York. Second was a super-strength hurricane hitting New Orleans. Third was a major earthquake on the San Andreas fault.Now that the first two have come to pass, she and other earthquake experts are using the devastating aftermath of Hurricane Katrina as an opportunity to reassess how California would handle a major temblor."

I'm so glad I'm moving back to TX! I just hope it doesn't hit before this time next year!

I'm only 20 miles from the SA fault. Faultline and his Vibe-T are just a few miles away from it. We'll let you know if anything happens.

I think I'll just stay here in the mid-west and hang out with the occasional Tornado.

You're probably pretty safe up there... Further south though, I dunno...Quote » Although we tend to think of California and Alaska as the places where most of our earthquakes occur, the fact is that the central U.S. has been the site of some very powerful earthquakes.I'm probably pretty screwed, but not as screwed as I would be if I lived a few hours to the southwest.
