And about half of California's water supply depends on a levee system far more fragile than that of New Orleans - in the Sacramento Delta. It could be taken out by a moderate earthquake or a real good storm, and we had one of those 50 years ago which almost brought down the Golden Gate Bridge - my father drove the next to last car across it to the north before the Bridge was closed from swaying too dangerously.

Yeah, and when quakes hit, we don't get a warning. We've been thinking about that this past week. It's been a while since I prepared an earthquake preparedness kit, and I think I need to build up a new one. The problem I have is having extra medication on hand. They won't give you a month's supply to hold back for emergencies. Or will they? I've never had to rely on prescription meds before, and my bf takes several.

For the most part, people up here are laid back, good churchgoing folks. Of course we do have that small segment of the population that will cause trouble, in the event of a catastrophic quake.
