Over the years I've seen all the Earthquake's hit in various parts of the
world and I've been thinking why has America been spared (so far) from the
major devastating quakes ?
Answer: I don't know
But it seems that the quakes have been getting stronger and more intense in
there happenings. I can only think that it's a matter of time before a major
destructive earthquake like the one that hit Japan almost a year ago
(3/11/2011) will hit American shores or soil soon.
The thought that every day the big quake waits to happen the stronger it
will be in magnitude seems to stick with me almost constantly. I'm not
making predictions I'm only stating my opinion.
One major concern for me is the New Madrid Seismic Zone since I live
relatively close to the fault I figure it's best to be prepared as much as
possible just in case anyway.
Back when the 5.9 earthquake hit Virginia and feeling it rattle nearly the
entire eastern have of the US got me thinking what would happen if it was
larger, like around 9.0 magnitude or larger earthquake?
How much would be left to recover?
How long would it take rescue workers to get to the areas? (There would be a
lot)
What kind of shape would the Government be in and how would it affect aid?
So for me all it's done is leave me with questions of which I have no answer
other than to take care of myself and others where I can.
edited to add
Have a supply of basic needed supplies in-case a disaster of some kind hits like extra non perishable foods. like freeze dried items that can last up to 25 years if stored properly and plenty of water at lest 1 gallon per freeze dried can of food and a gallon of water per person per day for ever how long you think you need.
A first aid kit in a grab and go bag with essential items that is ready at all times in case you need to get out of town quickly. May ad more later but this is just a start to being a prepared as you can for you and your families survival.

Decided To Take A Break and Have Lunch.
Got this from my local Taco Bell. Yum Taco Salad.
Witch reminds me, when your eating food around your PC or laptop try and keep the food away from your keyboard and mice. It make my job easier, quicker and keeps my sanity intact when working on a problems.
If a clients PC or laptop looks like it had food served on it from a garbage can, then I may not work on it or if i do I'll add the cleaning bill to the repair cost and a sticky note with a smiley face saying a clean PC is a Happy PC.
It's just common sense to keep your stuff clean and make them last as long as they will.
Thank You

Always Back-up your Important Data!!!
Always Back-up your Important Data!!!
Making a habit of backing up all of your important data is a good habit to have. Since you never know when your PC, Hard Drive(s) will suddenly meet there death.
I can happen suddenly without warning or it can give you signs that a failure is eminent.
Here are a few sounds to listen for in the case of Hard Drive failure at this website http://datacent.com/hard_drive_sounds.php
If your HDD is making strange noises when it's been fairly quiet in days past then you should stop what you’re doing and Back up Important files quickly. But keeping a regular back up plan is the best solution in preventing lost data.
I personally back up at least 2-3 times a week so that I'm not left frustrated at the fact I lost a lot of work when it could have been prevented if I took about 30 minutes and back up to either a USB flash drive or a DVD-R.
