Country: | Yep, a huge amount of hardware and software companies. There is also the tech corridor of the 101 freeway down south as well. More high tech companies down here as well.

Country: | It will sooner or later, but I won't worry about it until it does hit. I have supplies and provisions to last a while, so I am prepared. I just am not going to live in fear of it.

Country: | Pretty much. If they were that afraid of the big one, they wouldn't live here.

Country: | Keep in mind that alot of these big companies have offices all over the world. Lockheed Martin has 130,000 employees in 939 facilities. A quick look at their website shows that their headquarters has moved to Bethesda Maryland. But I would venture to guess that most, if not all, of their testing still takes place at either Plant 42 or in Nevada. There are still alot of them out in Palmdale.
