    I feel very fortunate living in Santa Monica although in 94 during the NorthRidge earthquake not so lucky for my parents. After the 89 earthquake my parents moved to Santa Monica I was living in San Francisco area going to Berkeley and transferred to UCLA in 95. Luckily the parents were ok but dad said it was definitely worse than 89. Of course he would know having mom and dad survive the Great Alaska earthquake in 64. I’m an Air Force brat so that’s why all the moving around. Dad retired from Edwards Air Force Base in 2007. He passed away in 2014 and mom lives with me my wife and our son. Love SoCal earthquakes and all. The price we’re willing to pay.

      I was leaving in the Bay Area during the La Loma Prieta aka the World Series earthquake hit the epicenter was about a hundred miles Southwest from where I live and I moved to the Central Valley and felt the Northridge quake also Andy bizarre thing about this is that a 7.0 7.3 earthquake hit just off the coast of California

    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!

    GREAT ALASKAN EARTHQUAKE ON GOOD FRIDAY: MARCH 27TH 1964 at 5:36pm! 9.2 MEGAQUAKE AND TSUNAMI!
    My dad was stationed here in 64 at Elmendorf AFB. He and my mother were very lucky to survive this. I would not be born until 1968 in Santa Monica California. Mom and Dad always tell the story to me and my two brothers and a sister about how even though the house was destroyed they survived! They were at Good Friday services at the time of the quake: 5:36pm. 9.2 Megaquake!

    So is the floor of a building impacted by approx where your floor is located? I live on the 33rd floor of a 58 story. Is it supposed to be more like floor 10 (halfway) in the simulation or would it be more like floor 20? We BARELY feel anything for most with one exception. Usually it feels dizzying, like laying on a raft in a pool. Except when we had a rather small in magnitude, yet fairly strong shaking one earlier this year on the la puente fault. I felt like a kid on an adults knee playing horsey. Bouncing up and down and side to side. it was a 3.7. We have had 4s just a few miles further that felt like nothing. WTF?

    I'm not into predictions, but I have been dreaming about an earthquake that happened prior to a surgery. Been having these dreams for years in Montana. I am pretty healthy, so having a surgery was just a dream. That was over 5 years ago, and the dreams have been recurring for a long time. Anyhow, I ended up needing Spinal surgery and ended up in UCLA on Sept 12th, 2024. That morning, there was an earthquake in Malibu, 2 miles away. The rest of the dream is terrifying to me. The San Andreas along with the Cascadia erupted starting at the Salton Sea which was split open from the Gulf of California on up. From what I can tell, this happens before Feb 2025. I should be back in MT by then. Before I went to Calif, I knew nothing about earthquakes. By the way, Calif does not fall into the ocean, but it does get split open. The most terrifying part of the dream was all the dead people and the damage. Wow the Damage.

      I’ve been dreaming about the big one coming too. I do believe it is coming and this month. There has been a lot of activity lately. And similar to what u said, I think the Casacadia is going to trigger San Andreas or it will be both nonetheless. Either way, I think most damage is going to be in LA. I do think it will be more catastrophic than is depicted here unfortunately.

    Hello I'm back, I didn't watch your channel for a long time but Im still subscribed to you and in your community. For on the video's topic, Its time to learn safety early considering that this may effect some states like Arizona and Nevada,, and like some parts of Mexico. It's crucial and depends on life with the highest chances of survival is safety. The only thing is Los Angeles has a good construction system but it's worrying if some houses collapse, but we can gather as a community. Could happen any time, any day, any year. Thank you!

    I live in Esquimalt on Vancouver island and the area of the Juan de fuka plate going underneath the North American plate is smoother which means it is way more likely that the southern tip of Vancouver island will get the worst of it and also Vancouver to because it is built on modern sediment that when “The big one” strikes Vancouver will be devastated and most likely slip into the water creating a tsunami from Vancouver slipping into the sea and causing the tsunami to hit the gulf islands and Sydney and YYJ the Victoria International Airport
