5.4 Earthquake

So exciting, I just experienced my first earthquake today at around noon! It was so weird; I could see the walls swaying. Thankfully nothing at the office fell over. I think we were fairly far from the epicenter. The pictures from other places in L.A. are a bit of a different story, however. I'm not sure what I'll find when I get home; hopefully everything will still be on the shelves.

The thing that concerns me is the massive earthquake that is all but certain to hit L.A. anytime between now and the next 30 years. If people are freaking out over this one, will they/we be prepared if that one hits? Perhaps it's time to actually take some of those earthquake preparedness steps I learned about while working at the Red Cross. :P
