[1]Tomorrow is the 20th anniversary of the deadly earthquake in Northridge, California, one of the costliest natural disasters in U.S. history. I wasn’t living in Los Angeles at the time, but I heard stories from friends about diving under tables when the ground shook. I did go through the San Francisco earthquake and I’ll never forget the feeling of having barely escaped real peril. Given these circumstances, you’d think I’d have an emergency plan with supplies stowed, just in case, but I don’t. Are you prepared for the big one?
