    Hidden earthquake risk found lurking beneath Los Angeles
    The fault was once thought dead, but recent research suggests it’s likely still active—and poses a hazard to the metropolis above.

    I remember the 1952 earthquake. It literally knocked me from my bed and woke me up. I was dreaming  that I was running and had tripped and fallen on a huge rock in the road. My mom heard the thump and came running. Later that morning, I walked outside. It had rained a few days before, and the dried mud had formed huge cracks. My family was living in Long Beach at that time, not too far from the Pacific Ocean.
    Lord have mercy.

  • Maybe we should buy property in the high desert. Then we could someday own beach front property.
