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.;)

Those 3D quake videos are perfectly terrifying. Yeah, they magnified the amplitude of the waves by 1000X so you could see them at the scale of the ground maps, but — YIKES!!!

I watched the Buena Park video, and it takes about 35 seconds for the first shocks to reach there from the epicenter, but after that it just keeps getting stronger and stronger and stronger, and it keeps going on, and on, and on, and a full two minutes later the ground is still rockin’ and rollin’ and the video ends before the actual shaking stops. It probably wouldn’t actually “settle” for another full minute or so.

That’s just FREAKY!
