I wonder whether the "big one" is going to hit the bay area of LA first. I have a feeling that both will suffer from large earthquakes in the near future, most likely a bigger and more destructive one in the bay, it is more of an earthquake hot zone.

YAY!!! I really support people who help me spread the word about the importance of personal responsibility. THANKS!

That's the best answer ever.

We'll, you don't have to worry about credit card debt once the pile of rubbles buries you in the floor.

That's not at all true. If you are buried in rubble, and subsequently survive, you will have to pay your credit cards. If you are buried in rubble, and subsequently die, your estate will have to pay your credit cards, and this scenario could negatively affect your spouse and children for years.

I lived in SF during the 100 year anniversary of the 1906 quake and they were talking about the possibility of the "the big one" in SF vs. L.A. Their research (although I forget exactly what it was based upon) showed that there is a slightly greater chance that a 7.0 or larger quake will hit L.A. than SF. They also said that the severity of the damage in SF would depend because there are so many fault lines up there while in L.A. it's primarily the San Andreas. They indicated that the fault which would most likely go would be the Hayward fault which runs directly under Cal State's stadium.

During all of my time in California, I nevery got used to earthquakes. They freak me out and are nowhere near as scary as midwest storms or tornadoes (sp?).

That's completely false. Both the Bay Area and LA have multiple major faults near by. Both could experience a 7 or greater magnitude quake at any time.

There are some extremely dangerous faults in So Cal apart from the San Andreas system. Take for example the Newport Inglewood fault. A repeat of the 1933 quake on that fault would be a very bad deal.
