Cal Science Center (used to be our MOSI but got renamed when they redid it following substantive earthquake damage) has a shake room. You go in and step on the platform, there's a video that talks to you about earthquake stuff, and then all of a sudden it shakes like heck. Grandboy loves it (he's the elder of the two and a daredevil). Granddaughter's response was "Let's get out of here, Grandma." Course the best earthquake simulation is at Universal Studios just up the road. --- Francis French <[log in to unmask]> wrote: > Here in Southern California, the earthquake angle is > always a good one to > explore!
