Somewhere there is a democrat, plotting a tax to fend off earthquakes.

Visit beautiful downtown Calipatria. The flagpole in the center of town flies the American flag at sea level...135 feet above sea level. The Gulf of California is south. The land between the desert floor and sea is a whole 4 feet above sea level. Just shake a little crack in that path and the desert will fill with sea water.

I am in the zone of devastation here in Oregon. I visit all the earthquake threads here on FR because of that concern. I was being a little tongue in check with the lawn mower gas. We only get less than 10% of our gasoline from CA. I do try to keep my supply of generator gas full though.

Calipatria looks way more visitable (is that a word?) than the western shore of the sea. I worked on a file for a property in Salton City the other day and it looked almost post-apocalyptic.

Where is that zone?
A recent extensive article on the subject suggested everything West of I-5 will be “toast”. I am in the wet toast area, West of the Coast Range. After the quake hits and destroys most buildings and all the bridges we will be hit by the tsunami, thus wetting the “toast”.
If I am 3 to 6 miles West from home when it hits I will have to walk those miles home and swim at least two rivers. And that is after the tsunami recedes. Providing I survive the initial damage.

I should have picked up on the tongue in cheek.
Stay safe and best wishes.

I tried to Google Map directions to Trona and it came back with “Why? Go somewhere else instead.” LOL

I saw it at night on the way to Death Valley. Night time is the right time to see it. It’s truly depressing in the daylight.
I couldn’t believe people actually lived there. Hardy stock those people. I read that it used to be an okay place if you could handle the heat but that was way back in the day.
I read recently that crime has gone up a lot there though. There was a guy that wanted to move out to the middle of nowhere cheaply and not be bothered but I think the first time he left his house after moving in someone stole his garden hose.
Meth moved in and it went downhill.

I’m in San Diego .. and the fault nearest me is more than 100 miles away .. and we’ve already had a 7.1 just a few years ago.
Since I’ve already ridden out a 7.1, with no structural damage, I’m not that concerned.

My last trip to Calipatria was "memorable". I was assigned to "strike duty" with PacBell. My task was to visit each central office in the Imperial Valley including Holtville, Calexico, El Centro, Imperial, Calipatria, Brawley and Niland. I worked trouble tickets and made certain the building was secure. Just as I entered the fenced area around the Calipatria CO, an "ag" plane flew by and I was hit with some pesticide overspray. I was able to unlock the door and get inside the office. I collapsed on the floor for almost 4 hours. It was about 4:30 AM when I mustered the strength to stand up and call the control office in San Diego. No problems with the office. I still felt pretty bad. The all night mini-mart was open. I purchased a Coke and mentioned my experience. The cashier said that was common. Some people are very sensitive to the organophospates. Yup. It was 1989, so calling home meant walking around to the back of the building to use the pay phone. I dialed home to share my experience with my wife. About that time, I heard what sounded like leaves blowing in the wind on the ground around me. Nope. It was a solid carpet of cockroaches. Ewww! Yuck!. Had to shake them off my tennis shoes. That was my last visit EVER to Calipatria.
The day improved by 5:30 AM. I arrived in Niland and enjoyed a plate of chorizo and eggs at the "Good Food Cafe". That's still a favorite watering hole.

I was on a 4 month hiatus at home in Idaho when that 7.1 hit. Upon my return, the ride from UTC to El Cajon took me through the EB SR52 to SB SR125 where huge cracks appeared in the transition ramp. Further south, SR 125 between I-8 and SR94 had very long north/south cracks in the roadway. Those were all new from the 7.1. CalTrans eventually fixed the EB SR52 to SB SR125 transition.
If I was "in town" this weekend, the Santee ham swap meet is on starting at 7 AM at the drive-in on Woodside. Many of my old ham buddies gather at the "Ranch House" restaurant 11510 Woodside Ave F, Santee, CA 92071. I won't be down in San Diego again until the evening of Oct 9th for a week with my staff. I've been mulling purchase of a Yaesu FT2DR to update to a digital capable handheld.

Eugene looks to be better off than most for the big shake; but, the dams holding back lakes in the hills pose a flooding threat immediately afterwards.
