• EARTHQUAKES ARE COOL

  we just went to a talk about the 1906 earthquake…. it was titled The 1906 Earthquake–lessons learned, lessons forgotten, and future directions….it was pretty
  cool…. since the centennial is coming up next year…. it compared
  the 1906 eq to loma prieta and by no means was loma prieta the “big
  one”….it was neat learning about the data that was collected and
  published on this quake a few years after and the beginnings of
  studying earthquakes and what everything meant… plus the history of
  earthquakes before the 1906 earthquakes and the studies that are being
  conducted….and in the end noted the various utilities,
  transportation, etc. that may be damaged in the event of the “big one”
  and how it’d effect people…. anyway… it was just cool!  i mean
  i can’t mention everything… but it was a really awesome talk…
