Just for reference:

The San Francisco, the one we call the Big One happened in April 1906. There was another quake in 1836 on the southern end of the San Andrea's, which was called The Big One until the one in 1906.

The 8.1 (.2) on the New Madrid which rang the bells in Boston was in 1811.

Below is a list of large quakes in the US. What is not known is how active was the Ring of Fire at the time. Well, it might be known, I just don't have it at the time.

The following is a list of notable earthquakes and/or tsunamis which had their epicenter in areas that are now part of the United States with the latter affecting areas of the United States. Those in italics were not part of the United States when the event occurred.

Article in op is bs. Kommiefornians don't feel anything under a 4.0. A 5.0 gets a yawn. No one is scurrying to buy emergency supplies based on a common 3.3 quake.

[Hoppalong]

True but it sure feds the doom and gloomers appetite for bad news even if it is one sided, distorted, and full of BS. Just like the swarm at Yellowstone. 1500+ now have been ZERO on that scale but THAT part hardly ever ever is mentioned LOL

So, you don't think that a major earthquake can happen in California? Or that Yellowstone will never explode? No major doom, here, just stating possibilities given recent events.

You can call people here doom and gloomers all you want, but many of us here are preppers just in the event that something major does happen. You are not a fortune teller, so you have no clue as to what may or may not happen.

I'm sure Hoppa is a CLOSET prepper...

Part of prepping is assessing the probability of bad events. You can't prepare for everything, so it is important to have accurate information in order to be ready for the most probable outcomes. The problem with articles that make everything sound imminent and catastrophic is that you can't be selective about preparation with that information. If I knew that there was a 100% chance of a catastrophic earthquake in my lifetime, I would prep in an entirely different way. In fact, I would probably just move. Instead, I know that the best available information indicates that there is about a 30% chance that I will experience at least a partial rupture Cascadia earthquake if I live another 40 years. So, I probably won't live to see that earthquake, but there is still a fairly strong chance that I will. I prep in accordance with that. There is about a 90% chance that structures like my house will survive even a 9.0 earthquake and a greater than 95% chance that we are out of range of any tsunami that would be generated by that earthquake. I have a plan to bug out if necessary to avoid a larger than expected tsunami and distribute some preps so that I don't have all my eggs in one basket if the house should fail, but I spend more time and effort preparing to continue living in my house, since that is the most likely outcome. I put 90% of my efforts into preparing for the most likely problems and 10% into those that are unlikely but catastrophic. High quality information is critical to making those distinctions.

I don't have a problem with what you said, dissimulo. Each person needs to try and evaluate what the most likely scenario would be for their own area. For us, it's not a big earthquake. More like tornadoes and hurricanes. We concentrate our prepping on those two things first and foremost, then overall prepare for other scenarios like EMP, martial law, thugs overtaking the neighborhood, etc. What about doing all of this makes us Doom and Gloomers? I call it "life" and trying to be as prepared as possible in any given situation. I don't go anywhere without being armed, either. That sure doesn't make me a Doom and Gloomer does it? I call it "being smart".

And.......

Knowledge in general about your area.

If I lived in say Montana, I wouldn't prep for a hurricane. I would prep for what would be a common thing there, like being snowed in in the winter, and fires in the summer.

The most common natural disaster here is tornadoes.

However, in nearly all those cases of disaster 90% of the preps are the same thing.

Then doing the other 10% specific to your area. For instance having a reinforced canopy bed in an earthquake prone area. So if it happens at night it will protect you from a roof cave in. It can still look nice. NOAA radios in tornado areas, if you can afford it and they ain't cheap, a storm house. Etc.

Then having specific knowledge.

Knowing that a severe cold front pushing into your warm area is likely to produce thunderstorms and maybe spin off tornadoes. Watching the weather channel, radar when appropriate.

Is a swarm of earthquakes near a volcano? Is there an unusual amount of earthquakes around the ring of fire, and will that, can that, produce one on the west coast to Alaska?

Intelligence is a key factor.

Sending troops into battle without ammo is one form of the lack of intelligence. Not knowing the enemies strength is another.

2 cents.

UPDATE:



The volcanic activity along the Ring of fire is rising with several volcanoes erupting or on high alert around the world.

The latest to date are the Fuego volcano in Guatemala, the Agung volcano on Bali, Indonesia, and the Turrialba volcano in Costa Rica. The Ambae and Lopevi volcanoes in Vanuatu are on high alert!

The 10th eruption of 2017 began at Fuego volcano on September 27, 2017. It was confirmed by an increase in the seismicity and the presence of tremor generated by the ascension of the magma.


Fuego volcano eruption on September 28 2017 in Guatemala. via Josue Decavele / ReutersOn September 27, 2017, permanent explosions were accompanied by an ash plume rising to 4,800 meters asl, before moving 30 km west and northwest. Moreover 30 meters high lava fountains were feeding two lava flows in the Barranca Seca (600 meters long) and Las Lajas (500 meters long).
This 10th eruptive episode was short with weak to moderate explosions, pulsating incandescence and lava flows.

On September 28, lava fountains were reported rising about 300 meters above the crater and casting in the Barraca Seca at a length of 800 meters. Ashfalls have been reported in La soledad, Pastores, San Miguel and Antigua. An important lahar is observed in the community of Sacatepéquez.

On Sept. 28, Mount Agung seismicity remained high with 444 deep volcanic earthquakes, 214 superficial volcanic earthquakes, and 23 local tectonic earthquakes. Between 0h and 6h local on the following day, there are 125 VA earthquakes, 40 VB earthquakes and 5 local tectonic earthquakes.
Mount Agung seismic activity on Bali, Indonesia.Gas and steam emissions have now become routine since already 2 days. Emissions come out of a visible fracture in the crater. The existence of this fracture shows that movements of the magma continue towards the surface.
Evacuations are now topping 144,389 people on September 28 at 12:00 pm.
agung evacuations chartEvacuations continue around Ambae volcano while a large plume of gases, ashes and volcanic rocks are ejected from the Lombenben crater.

The Lopevi volcano, also in Vanuatu has been put on alert level 2, as it now shows a state of major instability. It is now forbidden to approach the crater as adventurers could be impacted by lava stones or asphyxiated by gases.
Lopevi volcano on high alert on September 28, 2017.Finally, the Turrialba volcano exploded 3 times (5.30, 8.25 and 15.23) on Sept. 28 with ash and gas plumes rising 700-800 meters above the crater and then dispersing towards the west-southwest.
The volcanic unrest is increasing around the world and nobody knows when it will stop…
