A snail goes to a used car lot to buy a car. The sales person asks, "What are you looking for in a car?"

The snail says, "I want a really fast car with big side doors so I can write a huge "S" on each door."

The salesman says, "That's a weird request, why?"

The snail says, "Because when I drive through town I want people to say, "Look at that S-Car-Go."

Maybe it's because we're having some earthquakes out here lately.

Here's something I sure don't want to see repeated anytime soon:

Tehachapi Earthquake
Main Street, Tehachapi, after the earthquake of July 21, 1952. The two-story concrete (with wood floors and roof) structure in the background is the Catholic Youth Center. Despite the fact that most of Tehachapi's business section was at least partially destroyed, this building suffered little damage. (photo: World Wide Photo)


Kern County Tehachapi


Kern County Earthquake Tehachapi
Vertical fracture on the northeast side of Bear Mountain, along the White Wolf fault. At this location, a vertical displacement of 60 cm (2 ft) and a horizontal (left-lateral) displacement of 45 cm (1.5 ft) were measured along the break. (photo: University of California)

California Earthquake Museum

Welcome..... to the California Earthquake Museum! Our website, and the Museum, are intended to serve as a focal point for information about current and historical earthquakes, resources, data and references for the state of California...

< Snip >

Our general site area is located at the junction of the San Andreas and Garlock Faults and the Frazier Mountain Thrust Fault, all of which yield valuable, ongoing earthquake science and info.

In January, 1857, the Great Fort Tejon Earthquake occurred here and, rated at 8.25 magnitude, is equal to the largest earthquake ever recorded in the state!

This quake caused 15 ft. vertical and 30 ft. horizontal shifts in the local area. The split in the earth opened up from about 50 miles north of Taft to Palm Springs, and.... the Kern River bounced out ot its' riverbed, causing massive flooding in what is now Bakersfield!

The Tehachapi Earthquake is my earliest memory; I was three years old at the time and my Dad was stationed at George AFB in Victorville, CA.

My sister’s crib started rattling, then things started moving and shaking. As I lay in bed I saw my father run into the room; then the quake stopped. I remember thinking “It’s ok, Dad fixed it.”

It is strange how one remembers things like that.
