I am sure most of us have seen the devastation brought about by hurricane Harvey down in Texas. I know that a few Search and Rescue units from both Los Angeles and Orange County, Ca. are on scene there to help out.

I would venture to say that many of the Texans have been "prepped" and then had it all go under water.

This is the time where in my area of So Calif. that I consider a major quake to make us more vulnerable and prone to "disturbances." With FEMA currently going all out in Texas, can you imagine what would happen if we had a major event here? No gas, water or electricity? Instead of that 3 days that the government tells you to be ready, it may well be a week to 10 days to see government aid. We could hve bridges and highways down, trucks will not get into large metro areas like the Los Angeles basin, even airport runways could be damaged, making airlifts difficult.

Gee, I better go buy a case of water and some extra cans of tuna! <j>
