This evening the
Santa Lucia Rockhounds met at the
Pioneer Museum in
Paso Robles for their November meeting. Semi-retired
Cuesta College geology instructor John McCabe gave a PowerPoint talk about earthquakes. It was both a general primer as well as went into additional detail regarding the geological setting of California as it pertains to earthquakes as well as our local earthquake history. This included the
2003 San Simeon Quake whose anniversary rapidly approaches.

A day that shall live in infamy locally. |

Now it has been nearly 157 years since this event last occurred. It has happened before and it will happen again. |
