Great explanation ErdieAnne! I would just like to add the USGS site which I look at regularly because of living in this area. I also watch it because I have an Aunt in Alaska, which has nothing to do with NorCal, but the earthquakes there make California's look tame and almost non-existent! http://earthquake.usgs.gov/ Susan -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of EdrieAnne Broughton Sent: Monday, February 13, 2012 8:25 PM To: [email protected]; [email protected] Subject: Re: [NORCAL] NORCAL earthquake today Linda lives in Willow Creek. It's in the mountains east of McKinleyville, west of Weaverville...which is near Hoopa. It's not to far from Arcata. The only place most non Humboldtians would recognize is that it's sort of between Eureka and Redding. If you are still lost go north up Highway 101, go four or five hours then hang a right at 299 and go another hour if they are working on the road and they usually are. Just kidding folks. It's an area that regularly gets over 50 inches of rain in the winter and gets really really hot all summer. EdrieAnne
Back in 1969-1970 when I went to school at Humboldt State, I had old friends in the Los Angeles area, relatives in San Jose and newer friends in Stockton who had no idea that there was any California north of San Rafael...much less that it took me more than half a day to drive there from Stockton. Thank goodness the road is much faster, better and less covered with miscellaneos landslides than it was at that time. Now if they would get the 101 through Santa Rosa and the two lane around the really bad area done. Maybe they have, I haven't driven that way since May 2010. Even I didn't know about Hoopa until husband I worked for a wholesale plumbing supply that supplied the pipe for a new water system on the reservation up there.
