If I want to get somewhere else, I must blog twice as fast as that!
You see, I'm in

In California they practiced for the ”Big One” today….
That’s a good thing, since seismologists say it’s inevitable that it happens.
The Southern California Shakeout is based on the "Big One" - a 7.8 magnitude temblor on the southern San Andreas fault, south-east of Los Angeles. An earthquake model mapped out for the event shows that it could cause 1,800 deaths, 50,000 injuries and $200bn in damage.
The Los Angeles area would be left without power, water or motorways.
The drill comes four months after a 5.4 magnitude quake east of Los Angeles. That quake caused little damage, but heightened awareness of the potential for disaster, and boosted registrations for Thursday's drill.An earthquake of a similar magnitude to the drill takes place every 150 years on the southern San Andreas fault.
The last one was 151 years ago and scientists warn that the fault is "10 months pregnant"."It's absolutely inevitable," said Lucy Jones, a seismologist with the US Geological Survey who helped organize the drill. "The only question is whether it is in our lifetime."

Somehow I don’t believe that’s going to save them if a giant crack swallows them whole. Nope. Not if it's “The Big One."
Only one thing could do it….
