as I have said many times - I think that chance of a 6-7 magnitude earthquake is much higher. but certainly, a great deal of caution is needed in the SoCal area now. I just made a trip to LA to make sure that my daughter is prepared ... that she has the very basic stuff stored in her pantry. So if she needs to stay inside her home for a days, it is completely do-able.

People always behave frantically after big quakes - they go on rampages and buy everything. The shelves of the supermarkets become bare qucikly. It's better not be out on the street at all.
