Gee, thanks. My daughter is probably moving to SF within the next year.

Of course, I am moving (out of Florida) into the area of the New Madrid Fault. Geez, guess I need a subscription to Bad Living Magazine.

Remember, when everything is out to get you, paranoid is just positive thinking. ;-)

Rather long but very good article on what would likely happen after a Hayward quake...

http://www.eastbayexpress.com/issues/2005-02-23/news/feature.html

I've noticed a lot of people pretty oblivious to the fire threat. The Fire in the 1906 quake did much more damage than the quake itself.

Even if your house has been retrofitted, etc., for the shaking it's not going to save it from a massive firestorm. There's no conceivable way for any of the Bay Area fire departments to fight the fires, and given the right weather conditions you could get gigantic firestorms simply leveling entire cities.
