A member of my family was a geologist and he graduated from UC Berkley in the in the early 30's. He could stand in his kitchen and tell you how far down and the direction of the quake.

He always owned land in an area where quakes did not occur.
He was aware of how often or seldom quakes occurred.

No & So CA always had strict building codes since 1906 and the l930's due to damages.

Saw where Napa has about 4 Billion in losses.

Earthquake codes were not taken seriously or even put into buildings designs until after the 1971 San Fernando earthquake.



"A Crack in the Edge of the World: America and the Great California Earthquake of 1906" is a great read about what happened before during and after the great quake of 1906.

What does that tell us? Buy land EAST of the San Andreas fault.
Eventually you will own prime, pacific ocean front property.

Unfortunately, help is on the way! Good grief!
One catastrophy after another down there.

One earthquake is physical and the other is social.

You're just cross polluting political garbage to non-political posts. Please stop doing that.

It is also a great primer on geology and plate tectonics. A good recommendation.
