its always been that way. when anyone in northern california is talking about it they refer to the bay area in different context. its been that way for as long as i remember. including people i knew that lived in the bay area. |

| A buddy of mine just south of San Jose put it this way: "the Bay Area is the divider between norcal and socal" |

I told him I was more afraid of my satellite getting shut off before Thursday than I am of an earthquake. By the way, my satellite got shut off today :stongue: |
:haha: Bummer man.
Ok, so the general consensus from you Cali folks seems to be that quakes aren't really a big deal.
Never experienced one, so I was kinda curious what they were like. Cheers :) |

lived in cali my whole life. never personally felt one. although i have never been THAT close to an earthquake when they actually happened. the closest i have ever been was 100 miles..and i didnt feel it personally. |

well, when they DO happen, it's usually a single jolt.
Afterwards, the local news channels do about 2-3 hours coverage of what caused it (democrats blame the republicans, that kind of thing), there is also a counter on the bottom of the screen counting the number of reported deaths. There is the video of the UCSD earthquake simulator. Some time later in the day, firefighters are accompanied by insurance agencies knocking on every door to make sure everyone is not hurt and asking whether they would like to buy earthquake insurance (as required by law). Then we all converge at City Hall to discuss measures on how to launch offensives on the faults. |

California State Long Beach has a really good business program. That's where I graduated from, and a friend of mine just got his masters from there :) Also check out USC (for general business, not sure how the IT program is), I believe Loyola Marimount has a really good business program too. |

ehh im over arguing about it. i never once said it wasnt part of norcal. just said that contextually i dont know anyone (well now i do) that talks about the bay area when they refer to norcal unless they are southern cali people. so whatever. apparently its another regional difference that i was unaware of. |
