“Los Angeles has long recognized that, not only are we multi-cultural but we are multi-hazards as well. Unfortunately it took Katrina to let others realize that natural disasters are as devastating as man-made disasters,”

Odd comment.

If I didn’t know better I’d say he was trying to say backwards what he would get fired for saying forwards.

The Northridge quake shook for more than 7 seconds. I was there.

Ellis Stanley is a sexist man-hating bigot. How dare he talk about "man-made disasters" and imply that it is men who cause these disasters (and not women).

I am offended and I would like some free counseling and reparations for my suffering. Women are just as capable as men of causing disasters.

Plenty of activity on the San Andreas Fault these days problem is that there is virtually no activity on the section of the fault between Parkfield and Devore. The fault seems locked there much as it must have been in 1857 when the fault ruptured along 350-400km giving an 8.0 earthquake. How long does it take to unzip that much fault?

And add a multi-lingual population to the difficulty of communicating with a stricken populace.

Think of the Superdome in New Orleans writ large, only with no one being able to talk to each other.
