Dangerous quake fault warning for Southern California

Your friendly neighborhood geologist here. This increase in activity is very, very bad and should not be ignored. Increase in seismic activity is not coincidental. Pressure is building a getting released at a faster pace. Hopefully it dissipates without needing "the big one" as that would be devasting for that area.

Ooof that was a big one. I was at the north end of the San Fernando Valley for the 1994 6.7 Northridge quake. Because of the angle of that blind thrust fault, all that motion got thrown directly at us & then bounced around the basin. It was so weird being outside before dawn & having no lights on across the valley. Then the neighbors who weren't so affected started up the BBQ & cooked for everyone in the neighborhood who were cleaning up the mess. Good times! I've got an earthquake kit & I went for a 40 gal water heater instead of a tankless. And always have a plan!

Always pretend the half-way mark on your gas tank is "empty". Do not let it get less than half any time. But if roads are broken/crumbled, evacuation isn't gonna be a thing.

Never get under a table, depending on the size of the build and weight. It could potentially crush you. Especially since furniture isn't made to endure such events.

I live in Alaska, used to random large size quakes, especially since we in Anchorage live on 3 major fault lines.

It's a modest quake because it was only 4.4 range. The Northridge quake in '94 was a 6.7 and it torn down overpasses, crushed apartment buildings, sink holes, and broke gas lines fires. The Sylmar quake in '71 was 6.6, but had less damage due to lower population/housing. To put things in perspective the '89 quake in San Francisco was 7.1 where the SF/ Oakland Bay Bridge (double decker bridge) collapsed and killed one woman. Total deaths: 63 Total injured: 3,757 Damages: $6 billion. 1906 SF quake was 7.9-8.3 and was 16x stronger than '89. The original estimate on the death toll was 700; but, it has been increased to 3,000 dead and 250,000 homeless as the city fire burned 80% of it's buildings and burned for 3 days. The estimated property damage was $524 million (1906 value).

I'm from Northern California and went through my first quake in 1969 and then in 1989. Live along the San Andreas fault line. Was scared with the first one since I was only 6 and had no idea what was happening since the epicenter was in my town of Santa Rosa. It wasn't till after the Earth stopped moving that my Mom got out the encyclopedias to show me what a quake was. After that I wasn't afraid. It was the not knowing that scared me.

That’s a strikingly risky choice! During an earthquake, it’s generally safest to stay away from areas with a lot of glass or other potential hazards. The standard advice is to seek shelter under a sturdy piece of furniture or in an interior room away from windows. It sounds like this family’s plan might not align with the best practices for earthquake safety. Do you think there’s a way to improve public education on earthquake preparedness to ensure people make safer choices in these situations?

Because peolpe are like sheep and follow whatever they are told without questioning it, in this case the “ schools” earthquake response info “must” be correct so let’s practice what we were told as kids. In this case, all the family was running toward the same small shelf under a entertainment center ( that would likely fall over due to its height anyway) and no more space was available for everyone….sorry, sucks to be you mom or sister…..and like you said, the door out was right there. beliefs like “ things can fly off of houses” …what things are flying off houses and why are you standing near it. If we apply some thinking to the problem we realize there are variables by environment. I live in a fairly open tract with single story houses and utilities ( power lines) buried underground. I choose to head outside , away from structures and fully believe this is a better option than hiding under any cheap fiber board IKEA table that can’t even support my weight much less a section of truss, roofing or an AC unit crashing down on it. Having confidence a standard, untested school response plan is best practice without doing any thinking is foolish imo. Im old enough to remember the get under your desk and fold your hands over back of your head for a nuclear bomb drills. If I was surrounded by skyscrapers that would be different considerations.

Having been through the Northridge 94 quake, here's my unsolicited advice. Have a stash of small denomination currency on hand, there will be no electricity to process your cards and electronic transfers. Every car alarm in the city goes off, which adds to the fun. The rush to the supermarket for supplies was far more frantic than the pandemic. Having no internet, cell service, and electricity is very foreign and boring. Don't light any candles if your house has gas appliances. Enjoy.

I love in my car...now what can I do?

[@jennyortega7018]

@VictorianMaid99 Still have in your trunk extra water, food, and emergency supplies. And try to park away from large buildings, trees, or power lines that could fall on you. After the earthquake, your car might actually be the best spot anyhow. My family and I lived in our family van for days after the Northridge quake because our chimney fell and being inside our house during aftershocks was terrifying. We only felt safe in the car.

The warning is good because if you live in the area, you need to expect potential power outages lasting two weeks at a minimum and the possibility of roads being impassible for a period of time as well, not allowing you to get to the store and stores not being able to stock, hold, and resupply. This is something you can prepare for - have enough water and food for your family for that period of time. Maybe get a can or two of gasoline too.

In California, it would be hard to find a well-populated area that wasn't positioned too close to a seismic zone. The state is laced with faults. But state and local authorities have known of these potential threats for three decades. Yes, many authorities have taken bold steps to increase public safety, but they often labor under the demands of developers who strong-arm residential or commercial building in known seismic zones. That is completely irresponsible.

Fault lines everywhere in LA, it's part of a seismic zone, many are hidden. They didn't know about the fault line in Northridge until it broke. Geologic maps are not only pretty, but informative, showing all the known fault lines in SoCal. The San Andreas makes a curve north of Ojai, it's not a straight line. At that curve, tension builds up and splinters in different directions. Think of tapping a glass plate and subsequent radiating cracks. Puenta is one of them.
