The one good thing about this area is the amount of advanced warning you have here for potential bad weather. All of our local TV stations and some radio track the bad weather as it crosses the state. We have the latest and best equipment to track tornadoes and our storm chasers do a fantastic job.

This is very good....with earthquakes, there's absolutely no warning. They just "hit." I'm glad that there's not massive reporting of deaths.....no doubt without all the tracking equipment and radio/t.v., there'd be many, many deaths.

Used to live in Yucaipa (Norton AFB assignment) and in four years never felt an earthquake. Felt one in NE and two in Ohio though!

I have never witnessed anything like the tracking of tornadoes by the minute. They will tell you exactly where the tornado is heading. When bad weather is in the area, they go 24/7 with coverage. I know more about the weather from the last few years than I ever thought possible. Really fascinating too!
