#1 Having lived in Fresno in the mid 70s for 18 months
The ground shakes several times a year.

The Fresno Bee (local paper) must have predicted the big one was coming so much,
it became a Page 2 news .

A lot of researchers say start worrying when there are NOT a bunch of minor stress relieving quakes

#2 Jury is still out on prediction. Some experts also say that lots of minor quakes actually increase the probability of a larger event as a "grease the skids" type of mechanism.

About the best anyone can do is have a good plan in mind and resources aimed at the plan knowing that this is a "when" not "if" scenario.

Oh..and move out of CA for a host of reasons...this is but one

#4 Millennium Tower in SF (50+ story building in financial district) hasn't been stabilized yet.

Work on stabilizing stopped in summer 2022 because the Tower had continued to sink.

#5 I’m a little out of date but last I knew ‘gapology’ was the best long-term predictor of major earthquakes. Bay Area is due, LA is past-due.

OK,

#7 The "Your luck is due to change" argument makes professional g@mbl3rs cringe. Trained statisticians nod in agreement but don't have the emperical experience to wince.

#9 I worked in Richmond from 2007 til 2015. It seems like there were a couple of noticeable ones per year. The worst I ever felt was on the 7th floor of a hotel in LA. I was asleep and thought that the magic fingers on my bed had been turned on. I then realized that it wasn’t that type of hotel.
