connected, sure -- just maybe less coastline. Or maybe it will be separated into East California and West California by the big canyon down the center ... !

Another reason I do not want to live in California. Of course we aren't any better off up here in Alaska as far as earthquakes are concerned, but we do have a lot less people. Alaska has daily earthquakes also, but most are centered in the Aleutians. But I know what Farseer is talking about when she says 20 seconds is a long time. When the tremors last that long you start to think perhaps you should be concerned and do something besides just sit there.

Yes, and isn't that interesting that, after living with the tremors for so long, your threshold for moving is different than, say, someone who has never felt an earthquake? I'm pretty confident that if all we are doing is swaying a little bit, nothing needs to be done. If, on the other hand, we can "hear" it and it's getting stronger after a few seconds... then we might think about getting to a protected place.
If the predictions are right, we'll have a really different experience in Oct-Dec time frame.
