I'm personally not that concerned about having canned food or water, but the ceiling pancaking me while sleeping. My apartment building is held together by string and chewing gum.Vandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05467945696376519810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2800744396416121862.post-18675044761506023302008-11-13T19:27:00.000-08:002008-11-13T19:27:00.000-08:00After the '94 Northridge quake I take this serious...After the '94 Northridge quake I take this seriously. I lived 7 miles from the epicenter and had to move out of my place for 3 days. Walking in the neighborhood was eerie. The quake itself was a terrifying experience and afterward I was sick for months.<BR/><BR/>They're expecting "the big one" to be a lot worse. I hope they're wrong! But for the time being, you are allowed to make fun of me: I'm storing canned goods and water in the garage and I hope that structure holds up!Petrea Burchardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13043950465171821852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2800744396416121862.post-41201677896029199782008-11-13T14:23:00.000-08:002008-11-13T14:23:00.000-08:00Does somebody somewhere know something the rest of...Does somebody somewhere know something the rest of us don't? Have animals been acting strangely? I had an earthquake kit but it seemed after a few years I kind of pilfered through it. You know, I ran out of tooth paste, so, I was low on paper towels, so, I ran out of batteries etc etc... and I missed the 10:00 duck and cover. My best overhead fortress shares space with the kitty litter box (can you blame me?)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2800744396416121862.post-15328142138329552792008-11-13T13:38:00.000-08:002008-11-13T13:38:00.000-08:00Ok, using this helpful diagram I strapped a shell ...Ok, using this helpful diagram I strapped a shell on my dog's back and a bucket on her head and we're practicing landing full face on the ground.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2800744396416121862.post-69706269717353455792008-11-13T11:18:00.000-08:002008-11-13T11:18:00.000-08:00Pray?They say the Big One is overdue.

I almost did it, but I figured my kids wouldn't be pleased. I mentioned it to them today, and they looked at me like I was crazy for even considering it. Phew!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
