    I lived outside LA when the Sylmar Earthquake happened in 1971. I was just a kid but I remember it. I think it was a 6.7 and it lasted a long time.

    Did a lot of damage too.

    Kind of a coincidence LA gets a big quake on the Birthday of America ;)

    We used to say the same thing when we lived in Lancaster, CA since the San Andreas fault ran just to the west of Lancaster and near the western edge of Palmdale. We figured our property value would skyrocket overnight. :lol:

    We did get a pretty good rocking and rolling from the Northridge quake!

    I heard they had a 5.4 Aftershock today!
    I was at a resort in Huatulco Mexico in 1998 and we had a 6.8 IIRC and tons of aftershocks! A whole lot of shaking and moving!
    People were stuck on an elevator in the hotel, people running into the building, out of the building, screaming, it was the first time I witnessed mass panic.
    Wife asked me where we should go, I said lets stay right here at the bar, this is as good as any place to die and finished my Martini and ordered another........
    The next day half the guests slept out by the pool, and yelled at the employees like it was their fault we had an earthquake!

    I could live the rest of my life without experiencing another one.

    Yesterday my wife put the flag out & then later she told me she was worried someone might get upset because it's the one I bought for the bicentennial & it only has 13 stars.

    I need to buy a couple of American Made 13 Star Flags.
    Why?
    For the same reason I bought a couple Confederate Flags a few years ago after I was td I shouldn't buy them because they are offensive.
    I typically dont like all these Nike Shoes and stuff, but Damn!
    I liked the Betsy Ross flag shoe!
    Maybe only because Krapernik finds it offensive........

    I've walked most of the mountains around the L.A. basin and the San Fernando Valley, mostly 30 miles inland in the San Gabriel Mountains. I once found a layer of seashells 10-15 feet thick at around 1500 feet of elevation. Not Seashell fossils, but Seashells. The alluvial fans on the south and north slope of the San Gabriel Mountains at the canyon outlets are huge. An alluvial fan is where a creek or river dumps the sand/small gravel it picks up in the mountains and deposits where the canyon opens up into a valley or nonrestricted flow. Some of these fans are many hundreds of feet thick and miles wide and deep; many covered in houses :shock: If you stand back and look at these alluvial fans and use a little reason they scare the bejesus out me. If they were deposited a little at a time logic tells you they would be asymmetrical water is going to flow in the direction of the least resistance, not symmetrically in a huge wide fan shape.

    If you take a step back and think a moment the wider impression is the Seashell layers and the alluvial fans were leftovers from catastrophic events and not slow geological formation/processes. I'm not a geologist, I do seem to notice things many people seem to overlook. Most of these locations are near the San Andreas fault. Another oddity is many of the layers of rock and earth have markedly different temperatures if you are smart you find one warmer than the rest and that is where you camp in cool weather. I made many cold camps in these mountains, it's a dangerous fire area. IMO a catastrophe waiting to happen.

    7.1 at about 8.15PM. Both my boys in Fresno called to ask if I felt it. While talking to one of them , another big aftershock hit. He had to drop the phone and grab a hanging plant from swinging through the window. Said the dog was hiding under the blankets on the bed, and he's still trying to find the cats. There's been 1700 aftershocks since the first one. What you aren't hearing about, is activity on other faults. Around Mammoth Lakes, farther north around Columbia and Sonora, and even farther north in WA state, they have two faults that are active. We have been long overdue for a big one, thank God these bigger ones didn't release all that energy at the same time, it would have made the 1906 SF quake look like a 4th of July picnic.

    It could get interesting out there in Cali.

    Like it says in the scout manual.

    Be Prepared.

    AS they said on the Price is Right, "Come on Down." You can sleep on the beach and feel right at home. :lol:
