Gentlemen? Here?
Well - maybe Phil.....
True - a big earthquake could wipe out many hot wing places. And think of the effect on the LA economy due to a shortage of hot wings?

Oh it would have quite a large negative effect, both due to the hot wing places and the habanero fields.
Most Californians believe that when the fault gives way, the rest of the US is gonna fall off into the Atlantic Ocean.
Well, whichever way it falls, knowing my luck i'll be just barely on the wrong side.

Eh, wake us up when they hit 6.0 
People really react differently to earthquakes. Im pretty calm about it all, unless i think the building is going to fall on me, im not usually very fazed by it. But last one that hit was like a 4.7 or something, and people were running out of apartments around me, just freaking out. Really terrified.

You live on what once was the land of Atlantis, so how does California sliding into the sea make any more sense?

By all accounts southeastern L.A. and Northeast OC are not in a huge danger zone, even for a 7.x.
The 7.x in Northridge only moderately shook OC, and San Diego.
Now an 8, that's a diff story.
I think riverside, and those folks out Phils way in Murrieta would be devastated though seeing how they follow the San Andreas as it breaks east.
The big issue is the infrastructure. If I can't go north or south to get out I am stuck. Because every path east out of Long Beach area is through the inland empire which will be rocked if one hits the southern San Andreas

LOL.
Well look on the bright side. Now with the shift change you'll probably be in your nice big safe shop when it hits.
