I gotta tell you, in spite of sometimes joking about California being on "shakey" ground, and making general wisecracks, it's stories like this that makes me ask "what if?" frown How totally devastating to lose absolutely everything, including your loved ones & all your possessions. My heart goes out to all the victims.

There simply is no reliable way thus far, to predict an earthquake. While granted, we've thank God, not had a very serious earthquake in my area for the 29 years I've lived in California, BUT all it takes is one BIG one. The sad part is, I doubt anyone is really prepared.
