Looks like we're headin' out of Dodge just in time. Check out this article packed with stats about the high probability of quakes in the near future of good old Southern California.
And the ladies at Target looked at me like I was loco when Dalton told them we were making an emergency earthquake kit. Who's loco now? HUH? Yeah, that's right.
But seriously, they're reporting this as though it's groundbreaking, jawdropping information. As if every single person who lives in Southern California, or the entire state for that matter, isn't painfully aware of the impending doom awaiting. They've been predicting "the big one" for eons. We send little earthquake kits to preschool with family pictures and beef jerky and a toy. We have little teasers quakes to keep us on our toes and remind us not to get too comfy. We just choose to pretend that it's not a serious threat so that we can get through the day. My mom warned me to sleep with clothes and shoes near the bed so just in case it's in the middle of the night we won't be caught unaware. I don't. Denial is a beautiful thing.

I love the broad time span they have given the forcasted quake. Where is Eli Stone when you need him? BTY, we are glad you are out of there too, but for more selfish reasons. We'll get to see you more, yea!!!(who cares about your safety. lol)
Not good news for the rest of us "Californians" :(
I to would want to move on if those are the odds!
Well that's just terrible. Seth wants to get us back there within the next year. sigh
