So, Getting Shot By A Toddler DURING A Quake Is Like Hitting The Powerball
-
You've heard all the dire warnings about the coming apocalyptic earthquake in Southern California, right? And the accompanying panic? And we can all agree that former CalTech seismologist Dr. Lucy Jones, who's the go-to person for quake information around here, is the expert we can trust? Then listen to her when she says that you're as likely to be shot by a toddler as you are to be killed in a quake, like 40 deaths per year averaged over a century. You're more likely to be killed by a lightning strike, and a LOT more likely to be murdered or die in a traffic accident. Just be prepared -- get your home ready, get your earthquake kits and emergency stuff prepared, and know what to do and where to go. (Los Angeles Times)
