What a moron -- and how nice of you to still call him to remind him. I need to get better about keeping batteries and non-electrical radios around and we need more water, that's for sure. <BR/><BR/><B>Noel,</B><BR/>I remember during 9/11, neighbors that never spoke to each other were knocking on doors and introducing themselves. It was nice to see that level of friendliness. I think we'd probably be ok here at home, but I always worry about what will happen if we're somewhere else and an earthquake happens. I need to put some supplies in the trunk of my car.<BR/><BR/><B>Nick,</B><BR/>The thing is that the ground is shaking all the time here. We've had 514 earthquakes in California/Nevada over the last week alone. It's just that most of them are really small and/or far out in the desert. It has been awhile since we've had a really big earthquake here in LA. I do think about what it'd be like to experience something on the level of the Chinese one because the biggest I've experienced is maybe around 4.0 or so and that was scary enough. <BR/><BR/><B>Cyndee,</B><BR/>LOL!!! Stop it! <BR/><BR/>Really though, I was just talking to mom about this and telling her I hope there's no tornadoes when we're visiting. Those are scarier than an earthquake to me.<BR/><BR/><B>Jen,</B><BR/>Lucky you don't have much tornado risk. We've got a little stash of emergency food (stuff like clif bars), but we definitely don't have enough water and I need to learn CPR.Los Angelistahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17794296990587989214noreply@blogger.com
