Today’s photo via gadget blog Gizmodo: train tracks turned into spaghetti by an earthquake in New Zealand. Gizmodo calls it “a reminder of just how incredibly powerful the physical forces underneath our shoes are.”

And that makes me wonder… how prepared are we Oregonians for The Big One? According to this Oregon Business article, Portland isn’t ready.

Are you?

Maybe our earthquake safety checklist will help you get started.
