For several years, I've followed earthquakes at this site: http://earthquake.usgs.gov/eqcenter/recenteqsww/
Commonly known as the ring of fire, the view daily shows how the tectonic plates are moving and relieving stress(earthquakes). I have no background in geology but the trend that I have seen is an increase in activity on the east side of the Pacific Plate.
From Chili to Alaska, acivity has been steady. Recent acitivity near Yellowstone(most likely volcanic) is showing more and more frequently. Even a predomenantly inactive fault area like the New Madrid zone has shown an increase in activity. While many people are terrified at the thought of being in a tornado, I'm curious to what types of preperation, if any, you have made for likelyhood of a major earthquake on the left coast?
The other site that I check is on valcanic activity but this site changes very little and information on volcanic activity hits the news quickly regardless of what part of the world it is in.
