SoCal in reality, is nothing but one big honking desert bowl. Everything is piped in from somewhere. Water from NorCal, the colorodo, and every state that has a connection to the same, power from NM and adjoining areas, etc etc. I hear other states are (rightfully) upset. Cut those services, and this place would dry up in no time.

I thought of that, though we haven't had a GOOD earthquake in years. We're long overdue. I honestly wish we had ALOT more earthquakes. One, it makes life more exciting, but two, and more importantly, it relieves fault stress. All that stress is backing up. It's Like shaking a soda bottle and popping it wide open instead of cracking the tab a little to let the gas creep out.
