I think they said 35% chance of greater than 6.0

PASADENA (CBSLA.com) — If scientists at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena are correct, a moderately-sized earthquake is expected within the next two-and-a-half years.

JPL experts predict a possible 5.0 magnitude quake in Los Angeles, but say it very well could be stronger. JPL geophysicist Dr. Andrea Donnellan, along with seven other scientists, has been using radar and GPS to measure Southern California’s chances for a sizable earthquake, and has made a sobering hypothesis about another big one.

It will happen eventually, along with any other type of disaster by nature or man. 

Like the mindset of many folks here: it always makes sense to have some supplies on hand, we know what they are.

We were at a holiday gathering a few years ago and I was in a small group of 4 guys, one made a comment specifically to another about how he as two pistols, water and some food put away for a 'crisis'...very mocking... and the guy in question really has very little set aside.  I chimed in by saying...who thought that hurricane Katrina was going to leave so many without the basics for so long and who thought the unrest that took place afterwards would be so wide spread for so long.  They got what I was saying.  Goes back to the basics of the old phrase of 'beans and bullets' on hand.

I think Katrina and Sandy should have been an eye opener for a lot of people
