From ‘San Andreas,’ the stuff of San Francisco nightmares. Well, this and affordable housing.
Noted U.S. Geological Survey seismologist Lucy Jones attended a recent Hollywood premiere of “San Andreas,” the latest in a long line of Los Angeles natural disaster action flicks.
She had some funny things to say about the film, and she said them on Twitter. Nobody expects movies like this to be too accurate, but the particular way that this one twists science should be pretty funny to geology and seismology nerds. LA Observed has a collection of Jones’ tweets from Grauman’s Chinese in Hollywood.
Bottom line: don't learn seismology from #SanAndreas but maybe it will inspire people to take Community Emergency Response Training
