    I live in Santa Monica California (Los Angeles County) used to live in San Francisco. My house is new and built to current earthquake codes for California and the office I work in has been retrofitted to current California earthquake codes. I have a storm shelter with a month’s worth of food and supplies in the case of an actual earthquake emergency.
    I forgot to add the biggest earthquake I was in: Loma Prieta in San Francisco October 17th 1989. I was at the A’s-Giants World Series game! 15 seconds of pure adrenaline and fear! I’m glad I wasn’t on the Bay Bridge and especially not on the Cypress Expressway!

    Another great video and geology isn’t far from my mind as my commute crosses the Elsinore fault everyday.
    Also I think a video on Los Angeles’ unique geology would be pretty cool as well… like how SoFi Stadium was built with the Newport-Inglewood fault zone in mind, things like that or the blind thrust menace.

    Before you even mentioned the contest, I thought to myself I should probably post him and tell him that I appreciate his love for geology, geography and what it entails. It is wonderful to see.

    I've been through so many major Earthquakes in California from the Sylmar to the Northridge also Ridgecrest and more. Thank you for getting earthquake awareness out there....🙏❤

    Just stumbled across you channel and came in skeptical as there are so many sensationalized videos about earthquakes. Nope you did a top-notch job here. I know for the San Francisco Bay Area, the big one is most likely going to be on the Hayward Fault. I think you should do a video on that fault if you haven't already. Now, I'm going to watch your Cascadia Subduction Zone video.

    Even though I'm no longer a resident of CA, I so enjoy your great explanation of technical information that we watch it anyway! :). We are in Bullhead City AZ though so any earthquake info for us? How likely are we to feel any CA activity, especially of "the big one" nature?

    Louisiana is having earthquakes too. There was a Popular Science article in the 90s that mentioned two dangerous faults above and below DeSoto Parish and the recent quakes were above there near Caddo Lake.

    Born and raised in SoCal 35 years.. Always waited for it, never felt it-obviously ha. -lived right on top of the Elsinore and San Jacinto faults.. Love the videos man.... January 1st-anniversary of the Noto earthquake

    Thank you for a fascinating video. I appreciate someone that can make a video about the San Andreas fault and related systems without the usual "Sky is Falling" that causes people to panic. Without realizing it, Solomon helped drive home a point that I have made on several other videos that discuss the "Big One" and the San Andreas fault.
    I was born and raised in the Mojave Desert. Throughout my 60 years, I have experienced my share of earthquakes and have learned a few things that I like to share. While I am no seismologist, I am confident that some of what I have learned is true. Solomon pointed out that in the last 212 years, there have been at least 52 earthquakes with a magnitude of 6.0 or greater. Only a handful of those occurred in metropolitan areas such as Los Angeles or San Francisco. So where did the rest of the eathquakes happen? This is very important, and I would like to explain why.
    People in California are always being warned about the Big One- the earthquake on the San Andreas fault that will bring Southern California to its knees. There is no question that a major event on any section of the San Andreas fault would be catastrophic; but let's not put all our eggs in one basket. Some of these larger earthquakes have happened in communities that never expected to be impacted by an earthquake. I personally lived through the Landers earthquake in 1992, Hector Mine in 1999, and Ridgecrest in 2019. These "localized earthquakes" as I like to call them pack quite a punch and usually catch a small community off guard. No one ever expects it will happen, so they are never prepared for it. And it happens all over California- Coalinga 1983, Morgan Hill 1984, Tehachapi/Arvin 1952, Imperial Valley 1979 & 1987, and Chalfant Valley 1986 are just a handful.
    As I mentioned, a lot of these small communities are not prepared when something like that happens. They are usually supported by a community hospital that is unable to deal with traumatic injuries and people are left to fend for themselves. I have said it while commenting in other videos "If you live in a small community and don't know your neighbors, now is a good time to meet them. You may be depending on each other if a localized earthquake strikes your community." And always keep your gas tank full. The first thing I have noticed after living through three moderate earthquakes is the line of cars at every gas station immediately after the event. For some reason, everyone wants to leave town and they don't have enough gas in their cars to do it.
    Be prepared as you would be for any disaster. Chances are you will be without electricity for a few days, so flashlights are a must.. Have some bottled water on hand. Always keep shoes close by, you don't want to walk through broken glass barefoot. Keep a week's worth of prescriptions and extra car keys in a zip up pouch. You don't want to have to dig through broken plates and a tipped-over entertainment center while looking for your car keys and prescription bottles. My favorite- keep a deck of cards handy. With no TV, or anything else to pass time- everyone loves to play cards. Just the simple things make a localized earthquake easier to survive. Don't worry about food- one thing I have noticed is that nothing brings a community together like a disaster. Nobody wants the meat in their freezer to go bad, so everyone seems to meet at one of the parks and have a community barbecue. Actually, it happens for several days. Put it this way, I have never gone hungry after an earthquake.
    I am not trying to take away from the threat of the San Andreas fault. It may happen tomorrow or a hundred years from now. But one thing is for sure, a moderate earthquake is bound to hit a small community every few years. The question is, where? Solomon's statistics were very accurate.

    IN Ca. during a earthquake it is
    1) A very large earthquake far away.
    2) A small earthquake close.
    3) Or holy hell we are all going to die.

    I think I would be more afraid if they stopped having earthquakes, that would mean that the pressure would be building up I am betting.
