Sorry Off topic, but I noticed you mentioned
a few cities in CA near the quake.My son(Purdue

to Sunnyvale, Ca. He'll be moving in a few mos.
Please tell me quakes are not the norm for that
area.Hoosiers are accustomed to tornado warnings
and floods, but earthquakes are VERY scary...
Wow!! Congrats to your son and his new job (transfer)!! Finding one out here isn't easy! I still have several friends who have been looking for jobs for over 10 months now! Bless their hearts!

Sunnyvale is a really nice city up here in the Bay Area. I've lived here for 3 years and have only experienced 3 quakes (2 of which were further south, so the cities further north, like Sunnyvale didn't feel them). So, luckily, they don't seem to be too much of a norm. Thank goodness!! It also just so happens that I don't live too far from a major faultline. There are several faultlines running through different parts of California, and I would think that the Hayword one would be the closest one to Sunnyvale (still pretty far away though). I live closer to the San Andreas All in all, I think he will be just fine in Sunnyvale. Chances are if he experiences an earthquake, it will be coming from down south where I live like this last one did!! But, hopefully that won't happen to often!!! Be sure to pass on the well wishes for his move! I hope he likes it out here! I do admit, the weather if fabulous, and being a transplant Indiana girl...it's a nice change from all the heat, humidity, freezing temps...all in all crazy weather changes that Indiana can give! LOL LOL I do miss Indiana, though sometimes
**hugs**
