A chasm will open up along the coast line and swallow us up, and then AZ will be the place to be!!!!
How's that work for your "quantum mechanics theory"?
I thought the whole falling into the ocean scenario had in fact been disproven or at least held in real suspect. Couple of million years you might be able to take the Mrs' for seafood dinner at S.friend. Fisherman's Wharf is the thinking now!
Actually this falling into the ocean thing does work for me in this way. No more illegal alien problem as they all seem to be there according to some. The retirees in California would no longer be a drain on SS and medicare and the sudden removal of all that real estate from the national real estate market would boost my real estate values so yeah, it does work for me!
Opps forgot one. Your State is bankrupt and I see a federal bailout coming so there again, a win/win for me in federal debt savings.
Seriously, I'm not worried about the "Big Falloff" but with all the recent quakes around and especially Chile to your south on the same Pacific Rim, I am concerned about you guys having a big earthquake. Some might see a broke window as a good economic stimulus but I'm not willing to risk the potential of broken human beings for all the stimulus in the world! Yeah even if it means no SS or medicare and my real estate value falls to zero.
Stumbled on an article a few months ago about the Yellowstone Caldera and at the time just shrugged it off. Not much I can do anyway. Then you add in Haiti, Argentina, Chile and now you guys, one has to scratch their head and wonder if this is by chance or is something up and I'm not thinking of Jesus coming either? It's a question with no way to answer as I see it but you guys live with earthquakes (we tend to think you have them all the time, it's in the movies you know) so normal activity, not normal activity or like me just no idea right now?

I was playing COD Modern Warfare with my son when my wife shouted downstairs "when is it going to stop"---I thought she was complaining about the surround sound being too loud...If it wasn't for that, I may not have even noticed it.
It did seem to last a while but when no "big jolt" occurred after the first 20 or so seconds I figured it was pretty far away.....It felt pretty much the same as the 2 Lander's quakes did.
Growing up in LA county I experienced the Sylmar, Whittier and Northridge Earthquakes. All started out as a rumble that soon erupted into a violent jolt. So whenever we have an earthquake I am always waiting for that big Jolt.
Knowing of the Puente Hills Thrust fault underneath LA was one of the main reasons I moved from LA. I chose my current geographic location based on earthquake shake-map info.....So Far, So Good....

If it shakes hard enough it might flip upside down like Guam is suppose too!
I sent a link of that video to my father and he thought the guy was on drugs...he is an retired cop so maybe he is right.

Is there a limit or can we suggest others for your party? Maybe we get some kind of break from the Earth Fire God for quantity.
Come to think of it, Pelosi, Boxer and Feinstein, I see a global killer thing if we feed them 3 to the Earth Fire God as he'd preceive our sacrifice as unworthy and an insult. Come to think of it, I see his or her point!

Yeah, we could drop anchor by Hawaii and be their neighbors...I think that would be really fine!!

I know I seen it on the news yesterday :
Why Mexico earthquake, stronger than Haiti's, did much less damage
The magnitude 7.2 Mexico earthquake on Sunday, centered in northern Baja California, did not inflict nearly the damage that the 7.0 earthquake did in Haiti. Credit quake-resistant building standards and, perhaps, the distance of population centers from the epicenters.

I was on the phone , at the time the quake started, with a relative who lives in san diego. It was cool to get the vicarious thrill of an earthquake without having to be in one. My relative has lived in Southern California for over 40 years and said she never felt one as strong as this one.
