Earthquake!

Felt my first earthquake last night. I was woken up from an apparent 4.5 earthquake that originated in the porn capital of Chatsworth. The event was rather unremarkable – it felt akin being on a bumpy road in a car for a few seconds. After emerging from my bed, I dawned on me that absolutely no preparations have been made for a greater magnitude earthquake. So if you are in California, you should probably make an earthquake kit:

  • Water and food to last at least three days

  • Water purification tablets

  • Heavy-duty gloves

  • A first-aid kit

  • A minimum of $100 in cash

  • Family photos and descriptions to aid in finding missing people

  • A flashlight and portable radio

  • Extra batteries

  • A personal commode with sanitary bags
