[quote=threadkiller]San Diego appears to be safe but Temecula not so much, [/quote]

That made me do about thirty minutes of research, thankfully it turns out we’re fine up here. Temec isn’t actually on the San Andreas fault, it takes an eastward turn about 60 miles north and swings east of Palm Springs. The study that made the prediction of 90+% of a big one also predicted temecula’s risk is cut in half from earlier predictions (it’s on page 4, where it adresses the elsinore fault)

http://pubs.usgs.gov/fs/2008/3027/fs2008-3027.pdf

“Quake probabilities for many parts of the State are similar to those in previous studies, but the new probabilities for the Elsinore and San Jacinto Faults in southern California are about half those previously determined.”

That quote essentiallys says that their new study is the same as their old study except you can cut the risk of the elsinore fault in half, everything else is the same. Temecula sits on the Elsinore Fault, as does mt palomar, valley center and Julian. None of the places on the elsinore fault have tall buildings, it’s all little towns, which fare better in quakes.

But now that I’ve done the research, I feel better. Now as far as the probabilities, looks like L.A. or S.F. according to the usgs prediction maps and unfortunately, those are the two that are the most densely populated, have the oldest infrastructure and are the most vital to the economy. Let’s hope the retrofit work helps out, because it will probably happen.

That was funny, I love the ending when the guy gets mad because the reporter says Michael Flatley is from Chicago. It forced me to look it up, it’s true, born, raised and learn to dance in…Chicago. Reminds me of how mad every Italian relative of mine gets when I bring up the fact that Christopher Columbus wasn’t Italian, he didn’t even know the language.

[quote=Eugene] Look at it this way. He is now an owner of half an acre of nearly worthless land adjacent to the 15 freeway[/quote]

I thought that quote from Eugene was funny considering I read an article about the air quality a few days ago. So if anyone looked at a map of the property, it literally backs up to the freeway, you can see it from the freeway, you could probably throw a baseball onto the freeway from the yard. So just before they burn it down, they place hundreds of air quality sensors in the immediate area, take readings before, during and after. During morning rush hour the air quality near the house was worse than when it was fully ablaze, because they shut the freeway down before and during the blaze so the freeway pollution was subtracted from the air and the burning bomb factory was added.

At one time, many years ago, I lived rock throwing distance from the 5 (at eye level as well), and I was always coughing despite living within walking distance to the beach. Little did I know that living a hundred feet from the freeway is worse than than living next to a burning bomb factory. At least the bomb factory burning doesn’t happen twice a day on weekdays.

On a side note, let it be a lesson to landlords and future landlords, who many on the boards are or aspire to be. Routinely inspect you property. When I rented, my landlords always did. I saw pictures in the paper and it looked like it had been a while since that place had been inspected if it ever had been.

Ask any successful landlord, there is much more to it than just collecting rent.

I have a daily swill favorite right now that is cheaper than the boxed wines and comes in a bottle. Vina Maipo, a Chilean Cab, for $7 for 1.5 liters (two bottles). Unfotunately I’ve only found it for that price at Sam’s Club and San Diego doesn’t have many Sam’s Clubs. Up here, the Sam’s Club is just an offramp away from Costco and this time of year, going to Costco is a bit of a pain due to the crowds and the fact that it is adjacent to the mall.

So for all the box wine fans, take the next step and feel good about it since you can satisfy your taste buds and you wallet. This is actually cheaper, comes to $3.50 a bottle and it’s more than drinkable, it’s my new favorite nightstand bottle. Of all the 1.5 liter low priced daily swills (yellowtail, woodbridge, etc.) it is the cheapest and the tastiest. They have it in a few varieties, maybe even a white, but I have only tried the cab. I’ve often found South American cabs to be a value for dailies

Sam’s club doesn’t have as good of a selection as costco, but it’s different and changes more so it’s worth a look.
