California Eggers?

Im about to relocate from Texas to California for a 2 year assignment and I was wondering whether or not I should bring my Egg. I'm afraid of an earthquake taking out my Egg. Are there any California Eggers out there who can provide advice?

I wouldn't worry about the earthquakes. I'd worry about these guys.

Just kidding. I would however, check the housing covenants where you're locating. 

is this even something to worry about   just be prepared for the big one and make sure you have frozen food for the egg.  37 years in Los Angeles we feel quakes all the time your eggs will be fine

Been here all my life. Long time. Never given it a thought, and never will. You have a better chance of being taken out by a hurricane or tornado living in the mid-west and or east coast.

By the way, If you don't know already, Torrance is awesome .. the Southbay has the best beaches and restaurants. There's a small restaurant located there that serves the best Mexican/Chinese food, it's called ... get ready, 'Pancho & Wongs' check it out!



hahahahah I have driven by Panchos and Wongs numerous times and have never stopped in..... now I will! Thanks Tim 

@Pat20001 now you can have In N Out anytime you want 

Like, it'll be TOTALLY AWESOME, DUDE!!!  If yer in, like, "the BIG one", you got much bigger problems and stuff, you know?  Enjoy the killer weather, tasty bud and, like, fine waves.

If you're worried about Quakes, move to NorCal instead of SoCal, we don't shake anywhere near as often as they do.
And it's been over a 100 years since our last volcano spewed.

I've been living in San Diego for over 18 years and have an Egg. Don't worry about having one in Torrance.

Bring it, you'll not have to worry about Earthquakes.

Torrance,CA

I'd be MUCH more worried about someone stealing my egg in Torrance...or someone trying to shut you down for too much smoke.  Remember, you're coming to one of the most wacky, liberal states in the union, where the mayor just declared LA to be "the northernmost capital of Latin America", and the Governor is spending 12 Billion dollars to build a "Crazy Train" that NOBODY wants, but sez there is no money available for water projects without new taxes....   The culture shock for a Texan will be profound... hold out for hardship pay.

 "The Big One" is way down the list, and if it DOES hit while you're here, well you'll have a lot more to worry about than an $800 BGE.

I was like, huh?   So I, like looked up that stuff, 'cause I'm dum.

I think you're, like, referring to

"The organizers behind the Los Angeles bid for the 2024 Olympics released a video Monday promoting the city as the "western capital of the U.S., the northern capital of Latin America and the eastern capital of the Pacific Rim." The promotional video pushes Los Angeles as a hub of diverse, motivated people.

The video, running a bit longer than one minute, features sweeping views of Los Angeles, images of iconic landmarks and shots of people enjoying the city. The ad is silent, except for Arcade Fire's "Wake Up" playing throughout the entire minute, but has a steady stream of text describing its vision of L.A. While claiming the city as integral to the western United States, Latin America and the Pacific Rim, the text reads that Los Angeles is "a city made of 100 nations." The city, which hosted the Olympics in 1932 and 1984, is home to "18 million hard-dreaming people,” the text reads. "

And, like, the rail thing wasn't the governor...it was an idea from the Arnold Gov era, like, not that the Terminator wanted it, but, like, 6,680,485 votes of NOBODY did according to the results from prop 1A.

Proposition 1A[3]
Choice	Votes	%
Yes	6,680,485	52.62
No	6,015,944	47.38
Valid votes	12,696,429	92.38
Invalid or blank votes	1,046,748	7.62
Total votes	13,743,177	100.00

So, like water and stuff.  I think if the price of getting water goes up, like, they should raise the price of water.  Period.  CRAZY TRAIN AIEEEEE!!!!

Welcome to California, we're up in Santa Clara...some 9 hours away.

Mea culpa for my usage of hyperbole...

If ya took the time to look for facts on the internet, then... 

I profusely apologize for any angst my screed may have caused you. In the future I will try to remember to include a smiley face at the end.

@UnkulFreeed - apology accepted.  Hyperbole needs to be hyperbolic, not dishonestly believable.
