This Dr Jones is my new favorite science hero. I'd sign up for her class in an instant if I were at her university.
Don't talk people out of doing shit if they scared.
I can't figure out whether or not you're making fun of people who live on a fault line that have a good supply of emergency non-perishables. If you are, I kinda don't like you, it's important to be prepared just in case. People should be prepared, preferably before the earthquakes start but regardless.
I mean isn't this the biggest longest earthquake in years and years?
?
Technically we have dozens of Earthqakes a day. SoCal averages 10,000 quakes a year, but most are too small or too deep to notice.
It's more of i was just curious if it's that much of a necessity or not. Only been living here for 3 years.
I was in a 9.2 in November, 7 is big, but doesn't need a press conference
But, I mean, we haven't had a quake this big in 25 years, and this one was 0.4 bigger than that one.Not to handwave anyone's fears and anxiety but living in ca requires to be prepared and have this kind of mentality when it comes to earthquakes.
A 6.7 did this:
I agree entirely about the risk of panic, just saying it's not good to encourage people to not have emergency supplies if they live in an area at risk of natural disaster.I live on the same fault line - there's a difference between being prepared and panicking. Read up on the dude's posts, you'll see what I mean.
I've been thru Hurricane Sandy while living a block away from this scene as well as a couple of other minor natural "disasters". Panicking is THE worst thing you can do.
