Are you afraid of earthquakes...?

Question

I am....I went through the earthquake disaster known as the "1994 Northridge Earthquake" in SoCal.... ever since then i am scared... lol

I live so close to the San Andreas Fault but i dont bother to move somewhere else...lol

Answer 1

I've been through more than most Californians, lost much of my personal stuff during Poma Prieta in 1989.

No fears here, but plenty of respect.  It's not worth sweating over.

I live close to the San Andreas and a few active smaller but historically dangerous ones north of the Golden Gate.

I've plenty of camping gear, water, food around for about a week, plenty to keep my family going in the unlikely event my house comes down.

Answer 2

No...well kinda. There are so many faults in Cali everyone lives by one. San Andreas is the biggest !

advise: if you own a home in Cali buy earthquake insurance!!!!
