MakeItHappen 15 #1 November 17, 2008 wow, two earthquakes in one day - actually more like 6 hours... The first one was at 4:30 am. The second one was just now at 9:41 am. I have this 3 second rule. It takes about 1 to 1.5 sec to realize - oh fuck that's an earthquake. If it lasts another 1-2 -seconds and the rumbling gets louder or deeper in sound or pictures start tapping the walls - then I bolt out the door. I was actually awake at 4:30 am this morning. The dogs beat me to the door. Max, actually barked at the second one. Both met the 3 second rule, but were only 4.1 and 3.8 respectively, both ~10 miles N of Palomar, 15 miles S of me. I think I am preparing myself well for the big one that may take down the house. .. Make It Happen Parachute History DiveMaker Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
popsjumper 2 #2 November 17, 2008 Buy a boat or at least a rubber raft for when the big one comes. You can then dock in Nevada.My reality and yours are quite different. I think we're all Bozos on this bus. Falcon5232, SCS8170, SCSA353, POPS9398, DS239 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jdthomas 0 #4 November 17, 2008 "I think I am preparing myself well for the big one that may take down the house." Growing up and living in tornado alley I have been prepared for disasters almost all of my life, I would encourage you to do the same for the events that WILL happen in your area. Make TWO survival kits, have one ready at your home and a second in another location that you can get to easy incase the one at home is destroyed. Document your property in both stills and videos, make a running log of your stuff, keep it updated at least bi-monthly and make copys of that, once more keep a copy safe at home and another away from home. (bank lock box) Buy a firearm even if you do not like guns and protect yourself and property from looters,My house got looted when it burned years ago and I lived in a small friendly town at the time. Lastly don't think it can't happen, because history shows it has and will again. Boy scout motto, Be prepared! With the fires an the earth quakes I say good luck to you kids out West. I will take my chances with the tornados. Joewww.greenboxphotography.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
