Rancho Rancho Ramblings Ramblings October 2026 John & Lori Wysocki Editors (Space 173) Rancho Del Rey Mobile Home Estates Huntington Beach CA Email: ranchoramblings@yahoo.com Are You Ready for the Big One? Great Shakeout 2026 Each October the Great California ShakeOut is an opportunity to practice earthquake safety guidance. This year's International ShakeOut Day is October 15, when millions of people worldwide will participate in earthquake drills at work, school, or home! At 10:15 a.m. (local time) on 10/15, you can join millions of people across the world practicing earthquake safety!
Traditionally, here in RDR the Great Shakeout involved the Emergency Response Team conducting practical drills for responding to major earthquakes or other disasters, such as establishing a command center, performing search and rescue, triaging, and communications. This year, the team chose to engage park residents by hosting a Preparedness Fair in collaboration with the Event Planning Committee which is sponsoring a Healthcare event at the same time. The event will be held on Saturday, October 17, 9a -12p, in and around the main clubhouse. In addition to Health Care Service Representatives, Huntington Beach Community Emergency Response Team will be on-site to share preparedness information, demonstrations, and senior-related programs. The HB Fire Department has been invited as well and will attend based on availability and barring any urgent need for their services. In preparation for the event we’ve included some important information in this issue.

The Rancho Del Rey Emergency Response Team (RDR ERT) Program’s main goal is to encourage and educate residents of Rancho Del Rey to become self-sufficient when disaster strikes. In the event of a wide-spread disaster where our local First Responders are delayed in their deployment to our area, we will all need to be self-sufficient, however, the RDR ERT is to help if our neighbors are hurt, in danger, or need other assistance. The RDR ERT program is directed, planned, and coordinated by volunteer residents. Our program’s response to a disaster models itself after the Huntington Beach Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) format and operations. Please be aware that the RDR ERT has a plan for responding to major earthquakes or other disasters, such as establishing a command center, performing search and rescue, triaging, and communications, however residents in the community are responsible for providing for their own individual needs - water, food, etc. A “Stay bag” with at least 3 days of food, drink, and medications is recommended as well as appropriate Go-Bag(s). And by all means, if we are ordered to evacuate for any reason, grab your Go-Bag and leave! Be sure to stop by the event and see Sunny’s amazing, all-inclusive Go-Bag, as well as other preparedness information. But below are some examples of items to keep on hand. If you’re interested in volunteering with the ERT, please email ranchoramblings@yahoo.com, and a team member will reach out to you.

'The Big One' is coming, but when? Study suggests major CA earthquake could hit sooner than later A new study suggests the risk of "The Big One" in California could be greater than previously believed, raising concerns about the potential for widespread damage across Southern California. Scientists have long warned of the threat posed by the San Andreas Fault, which seismologists say is capable of producing some of the state's largest earthquakes. A simulation developed in 2008 modeled a magnitude 7.8 rupture along the fault, producing nearly two minutes of shaking. "It is the longest fault in California and therefore capable of the biggest earthquakes," said Dr. Lucy Jones, a seismologist at Caltech who helped develop the scenario. The simulation projects hundreds of deaths and billions of dollars in damage if such an earthquake were to occur. "We know how it'll happen. We know what the shaking will be, and that's what these models are showing that if we run these, this is the best science put together," Jones said. Jones compared the scenario to the powerful earthquake that struck Venezuela in June. "It's the same type of what's called a transform fault," Jones said. "It began west of Caracas and then ruptured towards Caracas, therefore helping focus energy into the heavily populated areas. We think that'll happen here as well." Despite decades of research, earthquakes remain unpredictable. "It could go another 100 years. It could be tomorrow. It could be, you know, next minute," Jones said. The new study found that stress levels along parts of Southern California's fault system may be higher than previously understood. "What we've found now is that, you know... stresses are naturally high, and they're actually in some places, the highest that we've seen in all of these 1,000 years," said Liliane Burkhard, a geophysicist at the University of Bern. Researchers said a significant earthquake at Cajon Pass, where the San Andreas and San Jacinto faults meet, could damage critical infrastructure across several cities."Aqueducts actually cross the San Andreas Fault, and if something happens, you might not have water for a while," Burkhard said. California has spent decades preparing for major earthquakes through mandatory building retrofits and updates to building codes. However, Jones said the consequences of a major quake could extend beyond physical damage. "We underestimate the social disruption and the economic disruption. We are so focused on our fear of dying, that we forget to be afraid of being bankrupted," Jones said. Experts continue to encourage residents to prepare for future earthquakes by retrofitting their homes, maintaining emergency supplies and establishing communication plans. Jones said taking immediate protective action during an earthquake can save lives. "If you use those few seconds to get under a strong table, you now can at least get dug back out. So we say drop, cover, hold on, and it really is the safest thing to do," she said. As reported by ABC7 Eyewitness News on Sunday, August 2, 2026, with contributions from CNN as well.

Ken and Eve Smith spent an evening dining on great food, listening to great JAZZ and making new friends at The OC Fish Grill A couple of month’s ago a friend turned me onto the O C Fish Grill. Since then, Eve & I have been there for dinner and fantastic Jazz every Friday night from 7:00 to 9:30. Generally the musicians are a quintet consisting of keyboard, bass,(upright or guitar or both), drums, sax and trumpet. Often there are guest artists sitting in with other instruments and vocalists. They have been playing this gig for more than six years. The leader of the group is Karim Yengsep, DMA, of the SoCal Jazz Collective and Academy in Lake Forest, teaching Jazz techniques and instruments to all ages and abilities. Neat, if you wish to develop or increase your musical skills, Google for SoCal Jazz Academy. There are other listings that have expired. The food is inexpensive, very good, with generous portions. The most expensive item on the menu is $27.00. We have ordered the Fish & Chips for me and various Tapas/Tacos for Eve. The 3 Fish portions with my order were the largest I have ever seen. The three ladies at the table next to us ordered a single Fish & Chips, dividing the meal portions equally amongst themselves. Last week we decided to have the Grilled Salmon Salad w/ Mixed Greens, tomatoes, daikon sprouts, gorgonzola cheese, walnuts, cranberries, and red onions, with our usual glass of wine. We have occasionally ordered the $4.00 side salad. It is large delicious and can easily be shared. For non fish diners, there is a variety of chicken dinners. My personal favorite is the $19.00 Grilled Chicken Salad with the same salad Ingredients as the Grilled Salmon dinner. The dessert menu is varied and has a middle eastern flavor as well as chocolate items. The drink menu includes nice choices of wine, beer, coffee based lattes etc, teas, various soft drinks. Google O C Fish Grill and check the menu.
The address is 5789 Alton Parkway, Irvine, (949) 988-7002 in the Oak Creek Shopping Center. Drive straight down the 405 South to the Jeffery/University off ramp, turn left to Alton, (the Citibank on the SE corner,) go through the light and turn right at the first driveway, proceed to the far southwest end of the parking lot. I was surprised how light the south bound traffic was, 60-75 MPH most of the way to Jeffery. The north bound traffic was a mess. It is best to try to arrive around 6:30. I realize the location is a bit of a drive, but for Jazz buffs, well worth it. They also have a Sunday Brunch Buffet at 11:00, featuring outstanding students of the SoCal Jazz Collective and Academy. An 11 year old Alto sax prodigy and a keyboard artist I guess to be about age 14 are EAR Candy.. It make we wonder what the heck I was doing at that age, (Playing marbles and flying model airplanes).
Enjoy!

Ken Smith Ponders... Clouds and Sunsets A while back, Eve & I spent an hour or so viewing a beautiful sunset. As we watched over time it occurred to me that we were viewing a phenomena that probably could not have occurred in the entire history of sunsets on this planet prior to 1965, but probably closer to 197075. All of the ‘clouds’ consisted of jet exhaust contrails. We viewed the thin initial stripe of each contrail slowly disperse and spread wider and wider east to eventually be almost a thin fog on the eastern horizon till the entire view shed was covered. I recall some time ago a NOAA scientist stating 15% of the North-American continent was covered with this kind of cloud cover. Ken Smith, Sp 96

Page 15 In Memoriam Jim Groves
Jim Groves went home to meet the Lord on August 2, 2026 at 85 on his terms. He had been trying to conquer and defeat a diabetic foot ulcer for the last year. His efforts were valiant. He went through 60 hyperbaric chamber sessions, which were difficult for him, and uncountable wound care dressing changes. When it looked like we were close to complete healing, a new wound surfaced with a vengeance along with new pains in his foot he said, enough is enough. The quality of his life had deteriorated greatly - he could no longer go to the gym which he lived for. He couldn't walk any distance. He was chair bound and he hated it. He lived a long, full life and he was ready to find peace. Jim wrote beautiful prose, and true to form, he left us a beautiful "Goodbye to All" poem which says it all. Rest in peace, Jim. You are missed and loved. --Sylvia
Goodbye to All by J Groves Aug 01 2026 Goodbye to all family and friends Regardless of who we all must fall My new home I soon shall dwell It's a cardboard urn and possibly hell The ride has been long I have had much song But with age and life There comes much strife The past year I have been hazed Doctors and treatments 4-5 hours sometimes a day has left me dazed A new case now I am told To do the same another year I cannot be so bold Each of you have enriched my life in so many ways And with satisfaction and gratitude I think of those days So finished or not we all must go Be satisfied with what you have done & not the further sow of the seeds some even not yet in the ground
Condolences to Sylvia and the Groves Family
So, Goodbye to All and fear not where you tread For the end offers peace and is nothing to dread
