Reality Check

If your odds of winning the lottery were 62%, would you buy a ticket? If your odds of experiencing a devastating earthquake were 62%, would you take steps to prepare yourself? According to a U.S. Geological Survey study in September 2005, there is a 62% chance that an earthquake of magnitude 6.7 or greater will occur in the Bay Area within 26 years; it could happen today. Since the quake is most likely to occur on the Northern Hayward or the Rodgers Creek faults, both of which run through or close to Marin County, there is a real potential for widespread devastation here on the Peninsula.

This got to me. So I went here and signed up for a free class. It would be stupid not to, right?

I was never one to ever think that you could be too prepared. If anything you might not be prepared enough.

It's good to prepare for anything. I saw Cloverfield. that can happen anytime! :P

But seriously, it's a good idea to be prepared.
