Moving to California? Read This!

If I have to go through a major earthquake, I can't think of anywhere I'd rather be than L.A. We take building codes seriously here, especially after the Northridge quake.

Living in Boston while pregnant in the winter was absolutely terrifying on a daily basis. I ended up barely leaving the house because I was so afraid of slipping on the ice. My husband slipped on the ice 5 times during the winter and fell hard. Never broke anything (unlike MANY other people I know who fell on the ice), but was pretty bruised up.

My point is, I personally found Boston to be a more dangerous place to live. I don't know how broke people live there. In the winter, if you run out of oil or your oil heater breaks, can't afford to fix it, and you're pretty much dead from the cold. Always wondered how many people froze to death there every winter.

Not to mention the slow death of living among miserable people in miserable weather.

My husband really wanted to move back to LA and I was worried about earthquakes. He said something that put it into perspective for me "I'd rather we are happy until we die in an earthquake that may or may not happen than live a long time and be miserable."

I think experts worry about the sheer scale of the magnitude of devastation and loss of human life in the event of a 9 plus magnitude quake. Since so many people live in CA, there would realistically be hundreds of thousands of casualties, and those are just the people who are documented

I live in KY right now and we have a little bit of everything here. Tornados, floods, ice storms, sweltering summer heat and humidity and yes, even earthquakes thanks to the New Madrid Fault. Every location has bad weather of some sort. We are also a bad place to live if you have allergies. I'm hoping to move to Cali in a few years. Can't wait for the sunshine.

I wondered if you had read all the stuff out there on the internet about the future of that part of the world? Maybe even watched national geographic or any other sci fi channel about the whole scientific opinion of the future of the west cost of USA? I have read a multitude of evidence of some major catastrophe over the west coast of America, it seems to stream in from many different points of view and many diverse belief systems, from Christians to psychics to native Indians and even more diverse. And all the warnings are spread out throughout time, not just in one generation, it seems many many people over more than 500 years have covered, mentioned and warned about some serious crisis that words cannot describe. Have any of you researched online and seen the “new world” maps linked in to earth changes? How the earth is going to change very dramatically? Some of these “future” maps show most of California under water.

Interesting to note is that (according to internet text I have read, which may be completely wrong) the USA had marked 3 major challenges for the early 21st century for America, listed by the FEMA organisation to plan for disaster. The first two, one an attack on NY city by terrorists and secondly a major category hurricane to hit the USA from the carribean, have now occurred but there is a third major threat according to them which is a massive 9. + earthquake in the California area.
My question is, now that you are aware of this, if you weren’t partially aware before, would you still want to move to and live in LA/California?

Don't worry - you're not.

Just think if enough people read this, maybe Ca for be as crowded. That is if they read it and believe it.
