I live on the Pacific coast. Not that far above sea level. Such warnings make me pause.

Continuing speculation about the Big One for LA. Something 8.0 and above. Not if, but when?

They seem to have been taking about it since the 1994 north ridge earthquake and as you say, having watched several documentaries, it’s not a case of if, it’s when. And there’s been many notable ones since then and thousands of earthquakes that barely register. And what’s different is these two recent ones where in LA not near it.

Talking geologic time. A thousand years is a blink of an eye.
