Although the effects are only visual, the idea is realistic. Click on EQ Demo for the effect (it is also guaranteed not to knock anything off of shelves...) or click on Go To EQ Information for the latest and most up to date Earthquake information from the area around where we are, Southern California, or other locations. The information is from the U.S. Geological Survey on earthquakes. This is a real-time information site and quite impressive if you are in to being impressed. Visit the California Earthquake Authority website.
