Quake jitters
David L. Ulin has a new book coming in July on earthquake prediction -- and the op-ed in today's L.A. Times to prove it.
Where were you on Jan. 17, 1994?I was huddled in my bedroom doorway, cleaved to my wife, riding out the jagged shaking, wondering when it would stop. Ten years later, I can't forget that moment, but then I wouldn't want to; it's become a part of who I am.
The book is The Myth of Solid Ground: Earthquakes, Prediction, and the Fault Line Between Reason and Faith," from Viking Penguin. On a personal note, let me just say, damn I wish I'd thought of that. Sounds good, and always timely.
William Campbell has a page up at Wildbell.com on the Northridge quake, which struck 10 years ago tomorrow: All Fall Down
