Earthquakes in the US and a bit of Natural Disasters

On Tuesday, I felt the 5.6 earthquake here in San Francisco. I'm used to earthquake, but can't say that the 5.6 was nothing. Anyhow, someone sent me this cool site called "are you prepared". Very easy to navigate.

Another good resource (among others) for preparing yourself .

Many people don't realize this, but California isn't the only state that is proned to earthquakes. There are other faults around the country. If you look at the CERI site's, you'll see that there are active faults in the mid west and east coast

From www.sciencedaily.com. I snipped the link since it was too long. Great site with info about major natural disasters in the US.
