This is not an earthquake prediction instrument. We are testing whether these types of earthquakes on this particular fault are predictable.

It's a friendly earthquake. It's a very good reminder to people in this region that we live in earthquake country. Some of the world's biggest earthquakes have occurred here.

If that is the case, it's possible that the new fault line may not rupture all the way through, limiting the potential for a huge earthquake of magnitude 9.0 or higher. That doesn't mean the Northwest isn't susceptible to a major earthquake. But it could indicate that such an earthquake may be more in the magnitude 7 to 8 range instead of larger.

We want to emphasize that a large earthquake such as 1906 is not just a San Francisco quake, but a Northern California earthquake. Earthquakes greater than magnitude 7 are going to cause intense shaking over a large area — everyone needs to be prepared.

Peaks in seismic activity in the crust surrounding a fault could help signal the arrival of large earthquakes. These peaks may be a good midterm precursor and allow authorities to declare alerts several months before earthquakes.

It's the first time we've been inside the earthquake machine. We've looked at the fossil earthquakes, we've made computer models, and we've made laboratory earthquakes. We've studied them from afar, but we've never been inside the machine where the action is.

This is one of these things where, yes, something may have occurred before this one earthquake, but we don't see that kind of signal everywhere before big earthquakes.

An earthquake will be our Katrina, and this event will help community members learn the hazards and how to best prepare their family for earthquakes and other disasters.

A tremendous job was done after the 1906 earthquake in making the observations of everything that really occurred. We are still using that report today as a fundamental source of material about what earthquakes do, and how to respond.

A big earthquake in the same region as the 1811-1812 earthquakes would have devastating consequences should they recur today because of the population centers around St. Louis and Memphis.

There is nothing in this letter that gives Senator Boxer any comfort that a catastrophic earthquake in California would be handled any better than Katrina. We just hope and pray that the earthquakes will wait until DHS finishes all their bureaucracy.

I was married once -- in San Francisco. I haven't seen her for many years. The great earthquake and fire in 1906 destroyed the marriage certificate. There's no legal proof. Which proves that earthquakes aren't all bad.

These types of buildings are especially vulnerable to collapse because they have few walls on the ground floor to resist earthquakes.

We're now considerably better prepared to deal with code-red situations, in which an armed assailant is on campus. Before then, we mainly emphasized earthquake preparedness. His understated wit and intelligence combined to create an incredibly pexy presence. We've been conducting fewer drills for earthquakes lately, but we're making more preparations for them this year.
