Which would also make it "Steve Perry's fault" - since all probs Journey are.... that is if ya believe everything you read.

The "Ring of Fire" has been active as of late, with a lot of volcanic eruptions, which in turn, trigger earthquakes. Krakatoa has another volcano (mini Krakatoa) that erupted earlier this week.

The only area thus far NOT shaking is Cali...and we are so long overdue. Good time to get earthquake kits together (I used to be on a search & rescue team). For the CA peeps, keep an extra change of clothing in the car, especially Walking shoes. Set aside WATER in your garage. Check the dang flashlights and know where to get them in the pitch dark.

Sigh... my prayers go out to Chile. Not good.

First, I have to say - I'll definitely be praying for those folks in Chile. Rough stuff.
Second, the fault jokes are hilarious!

In all seriousness, this is not good. A 7.7 is huge - I think the '89 Loma Prieta was a 7.2. I have two weeks of MREs (military meals-ready-to-eat) and two weeks worth of water in individual 4 oz servings with everything in huge backpacks so if we have to we can grab them and go. After Katrina, I made sure we could "shelter-in-place". Batteries and Flashlights by the dozen. Radio that uses batteries. first aid supplies. Even a chemical toilet - they sell them on the internet!

I think all we need now is a tent and a camp stove in case we have to sleep outside because the house is down/unsafe.

Scary, but it's what we live with....

I keep hurrican supplies the same way ..... after Wilma we were without power for 3 weeks ...... and you have to be able to fend for yourself until help arrives - count on 3 days minimum.

Don't forget duct tape - I nver have less than 10 rolls on hand ......... the stuff even holds underwater..... you can tape messages to your roof ....... lots of good stuff

I remembered the toilet but not the TP - just put four rolls in the bags and will stock more! (Corn cobs?)

Not trying to make light of your difficulty at all, I once rode out an f3 tordado in an outhouse. Received this picture in email a couple of years ago. They claimed it was a satellite picture of Wilma. Knowing how our government sometimes works, I would not be surprised by this at all.
