Yikes....our house is on top of the San Andreas Fault near the Pasadena border. WEll....I had better get the flashlights ready with fresh batteries....but where to store them safely is the question. We lost a porch and had some structure damage in the Sylmar and Northridge both!

Actually, I think that the San Andreas Fault in on the other side of the mountains from Pasadena, in the high desert. I also live next to Pasadena and there are many faults all around us, but the Big One is east and north of us.

The San Andreas Fault is not near Pasadena. That's where the USGS Seismological lab is located (Cal Tech, on California Ave.). If you want to see the fault, just drive out to Palmdale. There's a nice road cut near the aquaduct and lake on Highway 14. The road is cut through a low ridge. On the other side are some soccer fields. The ridge is the fault zone.
