Earthquake Los Angeles

Early this morning, while the residents of Los Angels there was a 4.2 earthquake. At the writing of this blog not much is know about what was the resulting damage. So say any more about it be to spread rumors of fear or comfort.

As one who has been through numinous earthquakes, I know it can be scary. A house or apartment starting to move from one side to the other. Starting out slow gaining in intensity, then as you start to panic it stops. Then you wait for more as scenes from earthquake disaster movies flash through your conscience mind.

The one big reassuring fact is that as long as I can remember building codes required a level safe. This means any building will with stand earth damage. Dishes and other lose items maybe shaken to the floor, but massive death and destruction is prevented.

Bottomline: I don't expect any loss of life from the earthquake. If there is any real major damage, it will be from old or decaying building.
