[QUOTE="Little Cow, post: 1590788, member: 5507"] There is research that supports that, but a lot of unknowns. There is more seismic activity near fracking sites. I was in a big earthquake in California. It is no fun. The thing about every other type of disaster is that you can prepare or flee. You have no such warning with earthquakes. The worst factors are landfill pushed into marshy areas to make more real estate and building codes not followed. The building codes are important to follow because people will survive in cities better. The buildings that were destroyed in the Marina district of San Francisco in 1989 were destroyed because they were built on landfill which liquified during the quake. Ironically, some of the land was filled from the rubble after the 1906 quake. The epicenter was not that close. A direct hit would have been much worse. The earthquake in the 1980s in Mexico City was so devastating because the building codes were not followed and landfill was also a factor. It was also stronger. They rebuilt the buildings up to code. So, the average person has nothing to do with whether or not their building is safe or their house is build on bedrock or landfill. Things anyone moving to California needs to find out before the next earthquake. California has ranchers and farmers, just like every other state. But their voices, like those of the rural folks in Colorado, are drowned out by the elites in the cities where all the political power rests. That's why California has laws that are so different and Colorado is the big drug experiment. The rural population opposed many of these moves, but they lack a voice. [/QUOTE]
