WHEN WILL THE BIG ONE HIT CALIFORNIA???

California is home to numerous amounts of earthquake faults. It has been 22 years since the 6.9 Loma Prieta rocked the Bay Area. California is passed due for another great earthquake. The question remains, when will the next big one hit? None of us knows. However we CAN be prepared. I recommend getting an earthquake survival kit. It's better to be safe than sorry. The more you get, the better prepared you'll be.

A good place to get kits small or large is at 4ursurvival.com. They are very reasonable and the customer service rocks!



Notice recent news on earthquakes

(CNN) -- A strong 6.6-magnitude earthquake struck Sunday off the coast of Antarctica, prompting a warning that there was a "small possibility" it could trigger a tsunami.
The tremor was centered in waters south of South America's southern tip, about 334 miles (539 kilometers) west of Coronation Island and 388 miles northeast of Palmer Station in Antarctica, the U.S. Geological Survey reported.
It hit at 9:40 a.m. local time (8:40 a.m. ET) on Sunday, according to the federal agency, and had an estimated depth of 6.2 miles.
Afterward, the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center released a statement saying that there appears to be no threat of "destructive widespread tsunami" because of the quake.
But the agency did state "there is a small possibility of a local or regional tsunami that could affect coasts located usually no more than a few hundred kilometers from the earthquake epicenter.
