Earthquakes In Earthquake Country
2008-04-15 05:59:00 A report from the assorted "brains and experts" bravely announced that in the next 30 years a 6.7 or larger earthquake will strike California. Southern California is at greater risk than the northern part of the state. They say it’s almost certain to happen.They gave their prediction an awful lot of leeway. In reality these earthquakes are going to take place much, much sooner than they think and both southern and northern areas will be shaken. What about magnitude? Both areas will experience jolts in the 7.5 range...or higher.I dislike writing things of this nature but sometimes things need to be said.

Earthquakes and Real Estate Transactions
2007-10-31 05:19:00 A couple of hours ago, at 8:04pm, Silicon Valley experienced a "moderate" earthquake. The USGS (Unites States Geological Survey) finds it to be 5.6 on the Richter Scale. My Experience Tonight: When tonight's quake happened, I was not at my Los Gatos home, but rather on the campus of Santa Clara University, in the Adobe Lodge, saying goodbye to some friends after a very pleasant evening.

As the roof cackled and groaned, we realized - about the time we started to sense it - that this was an earthquake. It's not untypical to hear it before you feel it! By the time my friends and I figured out that this was a seismic event, we were in the foyer. A chandelier swung ...
