Build to Earthquake Building Codes Everywhere!

November 25th, 2014

Today there was an earthquake in Oklahoma.

Though I may not have blogged on the subject for a considerable amount of time, I am still a strong advocate for building any structures to meet/in accordance with earthquake building safety codes everywhere in the USA.  To me it appears negligent and maybe even reckless - if not merely silly - to not build to earthquake building safety codes everywhere in the nation because such phenomena seems to be able to happen nearly anywhere.
