Quakeland: On the Road to America's Next Devastating Earthquake by Kathryn Miles ★★★★☆

City being destroyed by an earthquake with a large fracture surrounded by the text We Always Knew This Day Would Come
“We need to believe earthquake scientists when they tell us that the big one is coming.” 

Takeaways:
Do not live near fracking well storage.
Do not live near fracking.
Do not live near deep old mines.
Do not live near Yellowstone.
Do not live in Oklahoma or Texas or possibly Utah.
Do have an earthquake plan.
Do carry a go bag in your car.
Do investigate earthquake and flood insurance.
Do read Shaken in the Night: A Survivor's Story from the Yellowstone Earthquake of 1959.
Do download MyShake to your android phone. http://myshake.berkeley.edu

The introduction made me believe this book was going to be the Rinker Buck of science, well it wasn’t that good but it was information worth having.

We all need to be more prepared because help is not a guarantee.
I’ll give this 3.5 stars and round up to four because more people need to read about this topic.
