2010 will be full of lots of earthquake damage. I wanted to warn you earlier but I didn't know if it was true or not, but now I know it is.
I certainly believe California will be hit hard this year, and in the very near future, so be on your toes.
You will see a rise this month and next month.
This message is so that I can say I warned you.
Good Luck

This is kind of like warning the world of hurricanes, tornadoes, etc...Obviously, everyone knows they are going to happen...the question is where and when and to what severity. So, with your warning, what do you suggest? That no one enter any structure in a earthquake zone? Move to higher ground? Or are you simply stating the obvious...strong earthquakes will occur in the future just as they have in the past...........

Understanding the nature of natural disasters, One has to prepare based on the local risk. And thats based on where you live. For me we have three types of natural disasters that can be game changers. It may seem odd, but even as a very young child I was always leary about living near the coast. When I lived in Australia on Bondi beach, I owned a motor bike. This could take me safely to the blue mountains in an hour. I assumed the roads would be crammed with cars. Where I come from, and have lived most my life is in the American midwest, the so called upper midwest. We had few things we had to be concerned about. However...
We do from time to time get some very vicious tornados. My house is built like a bomb shelter. Not that I built it, it was built by an ex SAC General. In 1975 a tornado utterly destroyed the town of Zenia Ohio. It looked from the air they had droped a nuke. So it happens from time to time. The other problem we have in Minneapolis is some times the Miss. river over flows its banks. I don't live near the river and so don't worry to much about it. But I have federal flood insurance in case a watermain breaks. The last one is a blizzard or super cold spell, (we get the later a lot). For that I supplement my power with solar cells, and I have a generator in my back yard that runs off of natural gas or can run off gasoline from my cars.
So the best thing you can do is to evaluate where you are. What are the likely dangers and how to mitigate them. If your in or around yellowstone, and it blows, the blast wave at 100mph will over come any chance to escape. You may not want to hear this but its the truth. Another good habit to get into is to pay special attention to the news. I don't mean local news, at least not most of the time. But the cable news channels. A very good news source if all you have is radio is your local National Public Radio station.
