dpberr Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 Pure speculation but I've wondered if detonating nuclear weapons underground has "jostled" something that results in having two quakes in Mexico and one in Japan, all in a relatively short period of time. ...and even further speculation - did it trigger underwater ocean volcano activity that has led to warmer ocean waters to spin up this series of hurricanes?

Chef Jim Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 Thoughts go out to all those affected. Having lived in earthquake country for 35 years all I can say is I'm lucky I've not had to deal with anything more than a few crooked pictures on the walls.

poblano Posted September 23, 2017 Author Share Posted September 23, 2017 Comparing California's structural preparedness to that of Mexico City is asinine. I flew in and out of Mexico City once and couldn't believe what I saw. That's right. In Mexico(country, not only the city) corruption rules and with this we can said is deadly.I'm hurtful by saying this becauase i'm mexican and to live surrounded by corruption is frustating Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExiledInIllinois Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 Comparing California's structural preparedness to that of Mexico City is asinine. I flew in and out of Mexico City once and couldn't believe what I saw. Tell me about. Not Mexico City, but my sister inlaw is from Monterrey. I went there once and only once. I kissed the ground in South Chicago when I got back. Yes. I think we all realize that is true, yet something can always be learned from others. What you say is a simpleton point that, IMO, the article is NOT trying to make. We all know the building standards in Cali are light years ahead of most of Mexico. It is the repeat stress even put on strict earthquake tolerant buildings that should still be taken seriously. Never let quality down. Unfortunately, that quality is expensive! I would love to just sit around and say we have way better building standards than Mexico and be done with it. That's when complacency slowly creeps into our way of thinking. You are never too safe. That safety is an ongoing battle between enough protection and cost of too much overkill. Somehow we have to live in a practical world where nobody dies from a natural calamity. That just ain't going to happen. Carry on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
