Glad to hear you’re safe and sound and your home is on a good piece of real estate. Hopefully, you all will sleep well tonight then.

You’re right, all quiet here in Ventura - hope we can still say that in the next few hours!

Is that why the hippies smell. They do not want to be in the shower during an earthquake. LOL!!!
To: Moonmad27
Of course it’s quiet in Ventura, it’s after 8 PM.

A friend gave us this site a couple months ago. It is kind of interesting. It has a 3-D graphic of what would happen to different areas of So Cal in the case of a 7.8 along the San Andreas fault. We would survive it according to the graph. Let's hope and pray it is correct.;)

Looks like potentially on the Newport-Inglewood Fault Zone. This was the fault that generated the 6.4 Long Beach earthquake in 1933.

I do a lot of exercise, but I think I was here at the computer.

This was the fault that generated the 6.4 Long Beach earthquake in 1933.
My dad was in that quake. He was a little boy and his classroom was destroyed. My grandparents, and their neighbors, were afraid of gas leaks so everyone sleep on their front lawns. Dad's now eighty years old and has lived through a lot of quakes.

my father lived in Long Beach at that time and I remember him telling over and over the tales of that big quake.

That quake was famous because it destroyed a bunch of schools but fortunately school was not in session. Led to the Field Act, one of the first laws on earthquake construction, for schools in California.
It was only the southern Newport-Englewood fault that was involved in that quake; if this quake was on this fault it was at the northern end of it.
A bit ominously, the 1933 Long Beach Quake had a foreshock 2 days before it occured - not certain of the magnitude.
