my boss was consumed with the idea of The Big One hitting the L.A. area and what it would
mean in terms of emergency preparedness for the hospitals. It is definitely a concern.

We left L.A. in 1988 and have never looked back other than to visit once or twice a year
while relatives were still living there.

We're going to a wedding in SoCal in August and on to L.A. for a couple of days. Please, please,
I do not want The Big One to hit while we are there!
