If the ground under your feet is moving “up to 10 inches a week”, that might be a sign that it is time to relocate. What is currently taking place in Rancho Palos Verdes is perhaps the most extreme example of the geophysical instability that is plaguing much of the state of California at this point. Rancho Palos Verdes is about 30 miles away from downtown Los Angeles, and the constant “land movement” in that community is busting gas lines, causing homes to sink, and creating enormous cracks in the roads. If you were to walk through Rancho Palos Verdes right now, you would see that it currently looks like something out of a science fiction movie.
Poster Comment:
10 inches a week is a sign of things to come. But a major quake will move the ground (including the car you are in) 20 feet or more in less than 90 seconds.

When we ran the relay for IWX out of Springfield, MO out to Kingman, AZ, sometimes they would send us with a load to drop and hook another trailer to go east. I smoked the brakes on I-15 going down that hill into L.A. a couple of times.
In winter, the rest area at the top El Cajon pass would get a lot of snow. On the west bound side it was piled so high all you could see was the running lights on top of trailers as they went by. ;)
