Feeling Lucky? (after Japan)

As the month of March comes to an end, so does our "luck of the Irish".  Or does it?

The pattern of earthquakes around the Pacific Ocean's "ring of fire" causes some geologists to pick the west coast of the U.S. to be next, as indicated by this video.

Seismic retrofitting may help reduce the damage sustained.  At best, it should keep the foundation on the house.  Structural engineers and building inspectors deem a house uninhabitable if it has come off its foundation.

We recommend these resources:
Pacific Northwest Seismic Network
USGS - Past 30 days of Earthquakes
Earthquake Home Retrofit Contractors
