Ever worry about LA Earthquake risk? (gas, buildings, studios)

My forecast is for a quake in earthquake season 2008. Fall or winter.

Lots of time left before I get it wrong.

But I know the rountine.

Laughs, mocking and jokes. Then, when it hits, 10 threads pop up about the quake damage and deaths.

Forecasting an earthquake for Southern California is kind of like predicting that there will be losers in Las Vegas.

I know what you're all saying, how does he do it?

10-degree Map Centered at 35°N,120°W

Magnitude 2.5 - GREATER LOS ANGELES AREA, CALIFORNIA (broken link)

But that one was just the opening act. The headliner is yet to come.

Welcome to the Jungle.

Hey look, as you seem to be into this "Prediction" thing, would you mind predicting the next "Lotto" numbers for us so we can jack ourselves out of CA? , i think even the odds of you getting it right would prove better?

I've been following that site for YEARS. There are always small earthquakes all over California. Always. Doesn't mean anything.

You think a 2.5 microquake happens and it is suddenly LA Earthquake season??? Yeah, we are thinking how you do it....how you manage to keep finding new ways to take credit for non events.

Take a look at the USGS archives, PLENTY of microquakes all year. If there is no major quake in LA during this winter will you admit that your guesses were wrong?

[kidcanaduh]

When the 6 point whatever hit 200 miles off the northern coast of Cali earlier this year (right after the storm cleared out, like I warned you - go back and read the thread) Ms. Cleo would've taken that as the hit she predicted.

I'm not that lame.

I said fall or winter is earthquake season. I said you'll have a morderate to major quake in 2008 earthquake season. Winter ends on March 21. It's a full moon on that day too.

Fall 2008 begins on September 21. If a quake doesn't hit by January 1 2009, I agree I was wrong. Until then, prepare. I'm rarely wrong, for I'm kidcanaduh.

Although I might get the cali location wrong. Eurika could get hit instead of LA, but it's a coming.

ok, now, i didnt read the rest of these posts, mostly because i dont feel like going through 17 pages, and i the search thingy makes me mad. so, how many earthquakes does la get a year? im talking about ones that you can actually feel.

im moving here next week, just curious about what i should be looking for.

Maybe one "feelable" quake every year or two and that is probably in all of SoCal. There might be one on one end of town that people on the other end of town won't feel. Sometimes you'll go years without feeling one. That's my experience living in SoCal for 45 years.

By the way, the search tool is not bad. Use the Advance Search version.

Feelable earthquakes are relative. There are usually small quakes near 3.0-3.5 quite often, but you would have to be within 10 miles or so to even feel it, and resting at that. A mild tremor that most people will notice won't happen but every couple of years. For a quake to be felt in all of LA it would have to be quite large (say, from the beach to San Bernardino), and those might happen once a decade. Chances are, you will live here and not feel a quake for sometime, and when you finally do, you will say, was that it??? lol Those are just the odds as they have happened over the past years from what I recall. Earthquake activity is not felt in LA on a yearly basis.

Two 4+ quakes and 6.4 in Mexico. Dozens upon dozens of minor quakes in Baja Cal in the past week. Two 6+ quakes in Greece.

Cali, there has been a 6.4 north and south of you in the past month. It doesn't look good. Prepare. The clock is ticking.
