[californiadisasters] Re: New hidden earthquake fault found in California

Thanks for your responses to my remarks. I know Louisiana has an earthquake history although not very much of one. What made me think to comment about this was the remarks about the dam and the earthquake fault earlier. Structures like dams, levees, etc. are really only useful as long as the ground around them does not move!

 

As for fearing hurricanes ... I think in many ways an earthquake is worth because to my knowledge there is no dependable way of forecasting them. You can watch a hurricane coming all the way from Africa if you know where to go to see the images, and of course listen to the forecasters. But I've never heard of earthquake watches or warnings. Maybe someday .... but not yet to my knowledge.
