OK Don - you are pointing to my home at 33.821N/118.119W .... I'll be the first to let you know if anything hits.

Luckily, I just had an earthquake gas shut off valve installed today. At least I won't get burned down or blow up from a gas leak in my house. I am expecting something significant myself within 6 months or so.

I just say a presentation today by Mike Mills on some trenching and surface faultis done in this area. He's been contracted to check sites prior to cionstruction to make sure buildings aren't going up on top of active faults. Most of his trenching was along the Newport Inglewood fault zone and associated with the anticline structures (hills) in the area.

He did find recent (in geological terms) faulting on 2 out of 3 sites - What I found interesting was at the 3rd site, even though there was no recent trace of a fault in the top soils the fault could have been 'smeared' so to speak by liquefaction so no trace made it to the surface in that particular location. The water table was only 6 ft below the surface.

Another interesting point he brought up is that they seem to be re-locating the epicenter of the 1933 Quake from offshore to onshore.
