Sorry, but if a strong one hits it doesnt matter where you are. I am not near UCLA and would be affected by the Inglewood and even more so by the Elysian. You have to have faith and pray and be prepared! You're in better shape than I am, I am in the valley, so anything goes. I was tortured with the Sylmar quake, worked @ Cedars for the Whittier quake and fell apart when Northridge hit :( Its worse when you have kids, cuz u worry for them as well!!

it probably is. Yeah, I remember the Earth Science teacher that I was a T.A. for said, "Wherever you see a street dip, that's a fault." It was also said that the San Andreas fault could trigger the fault in Downtown L.A. Btw, thx for the info I live 5 minutes away from Inglewood and currently dorming at UCLA which is fairly close to Wilshire Blvd. Something I have to be aware about. =/

Probably the Los Feliz is the Elysian Park Fault. The other worrier would be the Newport/Inglewood fault. I think it runs along Wilshire Blvd, thru Inglewood, then under Costa Mesa and Newport Beach. And of course the Northridge fault was actually just a guess on someones research project for their PhD. They were happy but the rest of us in the valley were not!!. I guess until there is an earthquake, some fault types cant be predicted until they erupt and this gal was right on the money.

I was wondering what the name of it was. I saw this video on Earthquakes about a dangerous fault under Downtown L.A. and another in the Los Feliz area. I'm trying to remember what they were named as well

According to a video I saw in Earth Science a few months ago, L.A. is like a basin--we're surrounded by mountains that cause the shock waves stay here because they have no terrain to expand to but the ocean. It was confusing but w/e. Don't worry, your stuff is not the only stuff that will be screwed, so will our stuff in this shabby 1970 apartment.

Yeah. I live 25 minutes away from downtown l.a. (by freeway). But it'll suck even more if: 1) I'm in my dorm at 'LA and not home and 2) if my dad is at downtown working when this happens.
