[californiadisasters] Very interesting website. My own Earthquake experiences. Yahoo Groups.

Now this is what I call an original Yahoo Group. I live in an Earthquake area where the San Andreas Fault cuts thru the Antelope Valley Freeway. The newspapers have really been hyping it up that we are overdue for The Big One. They believe that the San Andreas wakes up with a very dangerous shake on the average 150 years, from Parkfield to Los Angeles. It is now past this mark. I have lived through many Earthquakes in my life. My first being the San Fernando Earthquake on February 9, 1971. It was a Tuesday, no moon, 6:01am. Richter scale: 6.7.
Even more dangerous are the ones that come from the north. I'm not sure if it was the Landers quake, but this particular one was a "thrust". Instead of shaking west to east as it seems, it lifted up and down. It was so violent. It literally was enough to make you fall out of bed. It put me down on the ground so hard when I stood up.
Dispite my own life experiences, one of my favorite disaster movies is Earthquake (1974).

Just thought I would like to share a few sites.

I have created a poll on Rate It All for those that would like to vote for the worst California Earthquake they have ever been through or heard of. The list ranges from 1933 to 2010. I will be adding the 1906 Earthquake soon, just for historical sake.
The poll is called "California Earthquakes" and I do update it when a new quake strikes and it is significant.
You will have to register for free on "Rate it All" to get to the poll.

For those that are interested in the California High Speed Rail, the California-Nevada Maglev Super Speed Train or DesertXpress, I have a Yahoo group that will update you on construction dates.

also on my group is a link that will take you to the USGS Earthquake Map so you can see where an earthquake has happened in the state andin your area recently.

Thank you for your Group. I will have fun looking around.
