Is anyone worried about these earth quakes?
 

We had over a hundred in the last week here in So Cal, now Chili, Japan a couple years back.

Is things getting worse?

It's Gods way of saying we are all cunts...

It could always get worse, WTF?
Do you rent the cheapest disaster movies or something??

:1orglaugh

The tectonic activity is pretty wild but it'll be worse when an 8+ goes off below old California cities. So for now smooth sailing.

Yeah I'm not worried, but it seems like everyone is flippin out. Just wondering if I'm missing something here.

you are missing the part where these numbers are quite common.

if news starts bringing it up without deaths its because its a slow news day.

:2 cents::thumbsup

This is the correct answer.

it's the end of days!

Another one just now - 8.4 - 29 miles off the cost of Chilie....

You can't stop the mega earthquake, but you can be prepared for it, if it does happen. Make sure you have an action plan and a stash of food, water, small denomination cash, clothing, emergency supplies and first aid readily available.

USGS says it's a 7.8M, smaller than yesterday's 8.2M.

Not worried at all. Never worry about things you can't control.

I'd be more worried about all the quakes happening in the fracking zones.

Something is about to blow.

All the animals are leaving the Yellowstone super volcano also.

What good would worrying do?

:thumbsup:2 cents: I'll drink to that!

Just purchased earthquake insurance lol

you have them every day

I'm not, but then, Las Vegas would benefit from having Pacific Coast beaches here.
</sarcasm>

That is a bigger scam than ObamaCare

If there's anything one should be worried about is the childish fear of dying ...

There is no God. I've been hanging out on this board for quite a few years and that's what I've learned.
There is a scientific explanation for everything.

COuld you elaborate on this? I've got added earthquake coverage. It only added ~7% $ but it didn't occur to me it's a scam.

If the journalists didn't keep mentioning it,I wouldn't think about it so much

I like Vin Scully

I was at Disneyland when that happens, Pirates of the Caribbean was shaking. Crazy how things can roll.

Not much you can do about naturally occurring earthquakes, but if the ground you live on is quaking and you live near some fracturing locations, you may want to start raising awareness.

Yes, I am afraid every time I come visit you. You should compensate me for the risk.

The amount charged vs the statistical probability that earthquake damage will actually affect your property is astronomical. All insurance adjusts costs/risk in the insurer's favor but earthquake coverage is off the charts.

That being said, I live on a nasty fault zone and have been thinking about putting a disaster kit together with some water, nonperishable food, basic survival supplies.

I was expecting the extra coverage to double my premium, I live on a fault zone also (and have a full earthquake preparedness kit and bugout bag & plan),
I was pretty surprised to see the added cost was minimal.

Yeah, honestly I kinda see it like the lottery in reverse - sure, it's statistically beyond unlikely and that money will probably see no return, but if you win you're set for life. So a few bucks here & there is entertaining. Hit the magic # for an earthquake and you're fucked - so those $$ buy some peace of mind even if it's not a sound investment mathematically.

My other suspicion with the earthquake risk models is that no one really really knows. The sample size is too small because that stuff's operating on a geologic timescale.

Haven't even noticed any but I live near the military base so sonic booms/explosions shake my house all the time :warning:warning:warning

Huge deductibles and actual coverage. Having seen what my cousins went thru in the Sylmar Quake in the early 70's I figured out quickly: Take the low interest loan you'll get for it being declared a disaster area.

Full disclosure: I think all insurance is a sucker's bet. Cards and otherwise.
