Earthquake warnings issued for Southern California?

[Phroobar]

Places get wiped out by tornadoes, floods and hurricanes at the same rate as the earthquakes or even less.

No they don't.

No they don't.

You said places getting wiped out every year and I took that as meaning the same places over and over. I was implying that they don't. California is at about the same chances as Florida to have a natural disaster.

Here's a map that gives an area risk level.

That quake occurred farther away and more importantly, offshore.

Farther away than what? Why is offshore important?

Hopefully, it will strike in the vicinity of Haunted Mansion Holiday just enough to knock all the garish decor off and they'll just cancel it.

Nice to see you back again!

I know I would rather live here with earthquakes over places that get wiped out from tornadoes, flooding and hurricanes every year.

Like Walt Disney World. This is what they are facing this weekend, and while the eye will remain 100 miles east along the shore, the WDW area is in for some very wild weather, flooding rain, tornado watches, closed parks and facilities, cancelled events, etc., etc.

But you don't even need a hurricane in WDW. The daily afternoon thunderstorm moves through, and suddenly Main Street USA can be like this...


I bet they cancelled the parade. When the Big One goes on the San Andreas Fault, SoCal is in for a wild time. But overall we are extremely lucky to live in Southern California.

And I bet that was in summer. Can you imagine how Californians would react if that happened at Disneyland?

Run! There is wet stuff falling from the skies!

It was lots of fun watching a WDW blogger walk through the MK "during the Hurricane"...yeah, it was partly cloudy and all of the guests were wearing shorts. I think what ultimately hit WDW was far milder than some of the regular rain storms that blow through.
