I was there in ground zero at the Northridge earthquake lol. Hiding under a table will not help. Best thing to do is get a earthquake kit with all the food and water you need, even extra clothes. My family and I lost all everything. Be prepared cause it will happen again.
My parents slept on the floor with the bed leaned in a triangle shape against the wall for a looong time after the earthquake. It was in the 90s I was a newborn but they were still worried about it a decade later 😂 Eventually they got over it. I think the fact that their entire building cracked and started to collapse traumatized them!
I lived in LA in 1970-1972 and experienced the earthquake that was 7.2 ( as I recall). It was so powerful & extremely frightening. People were running outdoors and afraid to go back inside their homes for days. I believe that was one of the largest quakes LA has had in many years!
😅😢about time you guys send out the alarms! Don't be fooled by dumb people saying it won't trigger anything. They weren't aware of this fault at all existed!!!
The Puente Hills thrust fault system was previously unknown to scientists when it ruptured in 1987. Scientists discovered the fault in 1999. I dont think you know what you are talking about..
@@johnsmith-ls6tq Science Is not about certainty, its better taking precautions before something really bad happens. You cant say nothing will happen there, no one knows, nothing is precise or absolute.
Coulda, shoulda, woulda. The thing is, no one really knows. We can have a major quake tomorrow or in a million years. Your guess is as good as these "experts".
@@techwatch1228 I moved to Santa Ana in 1987 and experienced the Whittier 6.0 earthquake and I was terrified. Coming from the East Coast, I never witnessed an earthquake. Although, the hardest hit area was in Los Angeles, about 30 miles north, I recall it sounding like a freight train as the ground and buildings shook for about 1 minute. It happened as people were going to work around 7 A.M. Even when I moved back East I had nightmares for a few years after. "The Big One" along the San Andreas fault was always talked about.
The 1906 San Francisco quake was 8.0 and was the result of the San Andreas Fault. 1925 Santa Barbara quake was only 6.5 but it completely leveled the city because the epicenter was right underneath. They come in waves. The Whittier quake in 87, the San Fran quake in 89, the Northridge in 94.
Trust a big earthquake is due to hit LA again unlike the Northridge earthquake that devastated the LA basin 30 years ago could be an even bigger one. A strong magnitude could even strike as far as San Francisco
Same here. That earthquake scared the sh** out of me. Our water pipe cracked, so I had to get a bucket of water and fill the toilet tank in order to flush the toilet. I was so glad when we got our plumbing fixed!
I'm 45 I'm still in Southern California I've been here my whole life and the Northridge Landers quakes who are the biggest I've ever personally experienced. Notice I said Northridge and Landers because I was lucky enough to be right in the middle
I arrived in California in 2008 and everyone was still talking about the 1994 earthquake in San Fernando Valley as though it has happened the day before. People were still extremely anxious and seemed so afraid. Many stated that they were lucky to be alive. A few weeks later I experienced a small earthquake for about 20 seconds. No damage but very scary. Then I was told a fault line runs directly through Los Angeles. How scary! I hope California has prepared for another big one. Pray and watch! Earthquakes in divers places (California) and wars and rumors of wars (The Middle East and Russia/Ukraine). The end draws nigh!!!
So when experts refer to us being due for the BIG ONE, I thought they specifically meant the San Andreas fault. So do we now have to worry about 2 separate faults, or is the Big One simply referring to the state of california being due with a big earthquake regardless of which fault?
There is also the Cascadia Fault that could potentially produce a 9.0. That's three separate faults to worry about. Ain't it great to live in Southern California? smh.
Don't expect it NOW, either. The vast majority of those affected won't even get a bruise -- the real problems will be loss of phone, electricity, and the ability to drive down to the store for tonight's dinner.
Or more!! I'm in Central CA an hour south of Fresno and we feel the bigger quakes from LA more than the northern ones. Either way, it's always frightening. 🙀
Me too. I have noticed the magnitude it shows on my phone is a bit higher than what they are saying on the news. I am in Vegas but watch KTLA. It will still affect us here, it will wipe out the I 15 and we would be without power, maybe water for weeks on end. We also felt the aftershocks of the ones in the last week. I was in bed the other night and felt one and in the shower the other day, I swore I felt one . I think that big one is going to happen sometime before end of the year. This is just too many at too high of a magnitude to ignore. I know anything under a 3 is supposedly no big deal and happens all the time but they have been too close together and close to a 4.0 or higher. If I lived in LA, I would be making plans and preparing, I would not ignore this.
These video clips of home security footage showing people screaming and freaking out proves that most people die as a result of panic response. Best to stay calm and act with common sense.
During this recent Highland park EQ I was talking to a health insurance agent. I suddenly broke the conversation asking her where she is that moment and said in Alabama, I told her there is a sudden EQ and I held on, I told her to stay on line and she wanted me to let go. But after few minutes I felt some shakes and the we continued our conversation. 😮
You can panic or you can prepare. Got water? Powdered milk? Flashlights?portable radio. Emergency medical supplies? Waiting until after an 8.3 to a 10 is not a plan!
As a result of the Northridge quake, we can no longer purchase private insurance. The government so-called "insurance" is extremely expensive, but also does not cover any rebuilding replacement that is worth the cost or consideration. It is a frightening circumstance that always sits in the back of one's mind - and all we have is "hope" that devastation will not occur in our lifetimes. At least that is what it is for me.
Insurance companies are leaving California in droves. Based off the current trend, in 20 years, your insurance policies will just be your bank account.
To make matters worse, just heard from the news that EVEN IF one had earthquake insurance, there's a fine print that says coverage only applies until funds are available. Meaning, it'll pretty much be first come first served. Not to mention, the prices the contractors will be charging will most likely be 10 times as much. NOBODY will charge the same price. So this is just NOT a good scenario however you look at it....
I remember sitting in an "earthquake room" simulator (a bit bigger than an elevator) and when it ran the 7.0 scale, we were not able to stand and it was like beans in a bottle
I heard about this potential big quake coming since my visit to CA in 1975 after some tremors shook the area, they said CA could break off from the rest of the country and slide into the sea. I was amazed to be told that schools and hospitals were built right on the Fault. After the tremor we cancelled our trip which would have ended in San Francisco and flew back to New York. Mother nature has her own agenda.
It's dangerous to go outside during a quake, depending on how strong the quake is, you could fall and hit your head, trees, light poles, fences, power lines, and even the masonry/stucco from your house could break off and strike you. The only time it is safe to run outside during an earthquake is if you are already outside, then you find an open clearing where nothing can fall on you.
That's not a good idea. When an earthquake hits, the best thing you can do is shelter underneath/beside a table or countertop, the reason is not because your house will fall down (at least not in California), it's because of debris (ie: decorations, shelving, light fixtures, ceiling drywall, etc.) If you live in California the home or building you are in will most likely withstand the quake, maybe heavily damaged, but it should not collapse. Again, do not run to go outside, because on your way there you could get struck in the head, miss your step and fall down stairs, or even get struck by falling trees, broken glass, and building facades if you go outside. (the face of buildings with brick or masonry, even sometimes sheets of stucco can break away and strike you). So shelter in place as best you can and ride out the quake.
Just a thought, wouldn't a bunch of small quakes relieve the tension and help avoid a big one? Or is it that the smaller ones just put more tension on an area of greater resistance until it finally lets go with a bunch more energy?
im working over here in Fort Worth, Texas and there have been 2, 5 point something earthquakes here within the ladt 3 months. something big is happening
@@nav3lle54 just saying there wouldn’t be earthquakes in Fort Worth if they weren’t messing with all that. Common knowledge. It’s not like it’s some strange phenomenon.
Remember folks when they tell you something could happen its because they already know it will happen. Whether they cause an earthquake to hit or they know something terrible is soon to come based on or around observation of the fault plates. And yes it is 💯 possible to cause an earthquake. Do some research and be amazed that earthquake can be natural and also created with the right modifications, devices, tools, elements, energy, etc. If you know, you know!
@@jasonlowrey1096 been thru all the SoCal earthquakes since the 70's. Plate Tectonics is a hobby of mine and what I have seen over the last 10 years, movement has definitely increased lately in Southern California.

Do you know the story about the boy who kept crying wolf? Making a joke of it? The people got tired of it and finally one day the wolves came? The boy disappeared. We can guess what happened to him 😏he became dinner.
I live in the Northeast and yes we get tornadoes but not very big ones. We do get blizzards in the winter. We also have these storms called nor'easters that can come at any time of the year. But a major earthquake really could be quite devastating in a populated area. Let's just hope you all just get the shakes and nothing else.. or smaller earthquakes
In a major disaster, cell phones become paperweights. Don't count on being able to call 911, so make sure that you prepare ahead of time. This is a good time to get your family set up with ham radio licenses (it's easy -- kids can pass the test -- and ham radios are inexpensive) so that you can reach each other. It's also important to have fire extinguishers, a 3-day pack, and a full pantry. It also may be useful to have a way of defending your family and those important supplies.
That is what I have been reading. The smaller 4.0's that are in a swarm like we have seen lately, are indicative of a bigger one otw. I have also read the opposite, that it relieves pressure. I am going with what you said. this is a lot lately, too much to ignore and too high of a magnitude.
I remember the 2/9/71 earthquake centered in Sylmar. It was like being bounced like a basketball. I lived in Carson then. Luckily, the only damage was a big mirror over the dresser. But it was every bit as bad as the '94 one up in LA.
Natural disasters should always be taken seriously. People with your attitude were the same ones crying in the aftermath of an EF5 tornado in OKC during 2013.

They could have gone outside but hid under chairs
It's dangerous to go outside during a quake, depending on how strong the quake is, you could fall and hit your head, trees, light poles, fences, power lines, and even the masonry/stucco from your house could break off and strike you. The only time it is safe to run outside during an earthquake is if you are already outside, then you find an open clearing where nothing can fall on you. Otherwise, shelter in place, get under a sturdy object like a table or countertop and ride it out, the buildings in California can get heavily damaged during a quake but they are designed not to collapse.
It will produce a devastating earthquake! Everybody should move far away from hills and shorelines. That should be the plan in place moving forward. 😕
Could it be that a succession of smaller quakes might relieve some pressure from having "The Big Quake"?
IDK? I'm just asking.🤔
Praying 🙏

Whittier narrows fault i think is the puente hills one i worry about the sierra madre and Raymond faults
New buildings are not made to last
Old heads been saying they've been saying this for years
The big one is coming 😮
I'd recommend standing in a doorway (because the frame is usually sturdy) or crouching near a wall if you experience an earthquake.
By the time the Big One hits, I've would be long, already dead by old age.
SoCal is riddled with faults. The "Big One" could happen anytime. It's a matter of being prepared with some bottled water and non-perishable food.
That's only if you're at home when it happens duh
Hiding under a table is about the silliest thing you can do
you must not be from an earthquake prone region cuz it is the #1 thing people are told to do…
They say this every year and nothing ever happens.
Do you know the story about the boy who kept crying wolf? Making a joke of it? The people got tired of it and finally one day the wolves came? The boy disappeared. We can guess what happened to him 😏he became dinner.
Good luck. California is so far gone already. Just get out.

although we do have good weather... most of the time...
Big Earthquakes meant free burial.
You need to relocate to the East Coast!!! We don't get earthquakes very often!!! I think you have been warned many times!!!
I’ll take my chances with the earthquake. In between hurricanes, tornados and blizzards, once in a while shakey don’t hurt
Yea and yall mfers get snowed in a lot. I’ll take my chances in a sunny winter thank you very much
@@YoChepedon’t forget the fires 🔥🔥🔥
I live in the Northeast and yes we get tornadoes but not very big ones. We do get blizzards in the winter. We also have these storms called nor'easters that can come at any time of the year. But a major earthquake really could be quite devastating in a populated area. Let's just hope you all just get the shakes and nothing else.. or smaller earthquakes

Please don’t tell your children to hide under tables. My god!
“It’s the big one! Elizabeth honey, I’m coming.”
Lord have mercy on us.🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
In a major disaster, cell phones become paperweights. Don't count on being able to call 911, so make sure that you prepare ahead of time. This is a good time to get your family set up with ham radio licenses (it's easy -- kids can pass the test -- and ham radios are inexpensive) so that you can reach each other. It's also important to have fire extinguishers, a 3-day pack, and a full pantry. It also may be useful to have a way of defending your family and those important supplies.
Highland park is DOOMED
A real Angelino will wait at least 15-20 seconds before they do anything 😂
Man they been saying this since the 70's ITS CAP!
Shake rattle and roll
Yet I know this will fall on deaf ears! "It can't happen to me".
insurance companies dropping these homes , now we know why
A bunch of smaller 4.0’s can be indicative of an 8.0 on the way…..
for sure.
That is what I have been reading. The smaller 4.0's that are in a swarm like we have seen lately, are indicative of a bigger one otw. I have also read the opposite, that it relieves pressure. I am going with what you said. this is a lot lately, too much to ignore and too high of a magnitude.
The big one is coming! Preparedness is the key.
No one can escape from the End Time.
Why is she laughing??
Nervous laughter
That hollow ikea table not good enough
Everyone get under your IKEA tables now 😢😢😢😢
Luca’s store owner was way too cheerful! 😆
Is Arizona Bay on anyone's bingo card?
I remember the 2/9/71 earthquake centered in Sylmar. It was like being bounced like a basketball. I lived in Carson then. Luckily, the only damage was a big mirror over the dresser. But it was every bit as bad as the '94 one up in LA.
I lived during the Northridge one. I had fun
I did not.
The number of folks that ended up with PTSD was overwhelming.
@@aisle_of_view I had it too, eventually. But nothing compared to what everyone else felt
If you get rid of all the scraps you can fix the sin of the fault line
We get one earthquake on this fault line and everyone starts losing their minds.
More like 13 this year alone.
People became weak in the last 4 years
@@CG117st we're just waaay overdue.
Natural disasters should always be taken seriously. People with your attitude were the same ones crying in the aftermath of an EF5 tornado in OKC during 2013.
@@Constellasianwhat I mean is that people should always be prepared as these events are unpredictable instead of freaking out at any slight tremor in their area. The only one crying here is you, relax.
And you pay outragous prices for this property? Sounds very unintelligent.
Nice knowing you LA goodbye 🤕
ITS LIKE RIDING THE NEW YORK CITY SUBWAY
“It felt like a basketball.” That guy’s got a real way with descriptive imagery. 😐
Puente Hills Fault: I'm gonna make it rattle 🪇
San Andreas: Ok
People dont realise LA has one more big one thats it will disappear sink into the sea no more LA
The governor will fix this...
There has been predictions of this for fifty years. I won't be holding my breath.
Is it me or did Cher look disinterested?
The Big One is near 😒
REI does not carry any earthquake rated tents and my tires on the Subaru are only 3peak but no fault rating, any suggestions?
