[Geology2] Re: Los Angeles awaits earthquake that could be the 'Big One'



I'm not a big fan of personality cults and promoting personalities over ideas or things simply getting down properly, but I will say this: there was an Earthquake Lady well before the one mentioned in this article and I'm leaving it at that. :-p

It is not unlikely that Dr Jones, 59, a US Geological Survey seismologist, may herself feature as a character in San Andreas, the movie.

Universally known as the "Earthquake Lady" she rose to fame 20 years ago following the 6.7-magnitude Northridge earthquake , which killed 57 people and caused $20 billion in damage.

In the 1990s she once appeared before TV cameras holding her one-year-old son and successfully calmed a panicking city. Her informative tweets are now avidly followed by fretting Angelinos.
