Hi Brian,
Before the Northridge earthquake, I was doing some field work in Vasquez rocks county park (?), which I never did anything with, and would drive from UCSB and eventually exit route 5 for route 14 (?). The high overpass there was on my list of "places to not be during an earthquake". I was not aware that it had collapsed during the 1972 (1971?) San Fernando quake (you might want to check this, I may be wrong. That high overpass was fine during the Northridge quake, but the lower one in the same place collapsed, and killed a motorcycle cop.
I was just reading up on Malaria in Goa because my roommate is taking pills to prevent this. There are about 800 cases/year for 4 million people, but the link I read was for the dry season: it is monsoon, with average July rainfall of 1000 mm (40 inches).
