    Seems every few months they tell us yet again about how we are over-due for a big one. Like we don't know we live in an earthquake-prone zone. :roll:

    I think it's a marketing ploy to get everyone hypped up and out shopping for "emergency supplies". :lol:

    Crap. I have to admit that when I came on the site just now my heart jumped into my throat on seeing "BC Mega-Earthquake"! 8O

    Visions of a flattened Vancouver or Victoria flashed through my mind. :cry:

    Can't even begin to tell any of you how I hope that never happens!

    We can recycle some images of post-apocalyptic Vancouver if that helps.

    It's not a case of "if" but "when". If I lived in the region, I think I'd want to have a reasonable level of preparedness.
