It may be time to look at bug out plans for the CA folks.

San Andreas fault. Per scientists, yep the same ones that predicted the New Madrid fault quake a few years ago, are saying CA;s big fault is locked, loaded and way over due.

If I lived in southern CA now I would have my H2O, extra food, toilet shovel, tp, guns and ammo ready.

One of these days a prediction will happen. This one is 200-500 years over due depending on which part of the fault you are standing on.

When I lived in the Bay Area during the 70s there were folks buying inflatable life rafts cuz California was going to snap off and fall into the ocean. I can just see some guy puffing up his inflatable life raft as a 500ft tsunami casts a shadow over him.... :eek:

The underground bunkers for when Russia launched missiles on us were great for partying with our girlfriends. Hippie chicks and underground bunkers... it don't get much better than that! :)

There hasn't been a really big quake on the New Madrid fault since the 60's. The last guy that predicted a quake around here, a dude named Iben Browning, said there'd be a big one the first week of December, 1990. The only movement of the earth that week was the rumbling of the 30 some odd satellite trucks parked on the levee in downtown New Madrid. Browning was revealed as a nutbag . . .

The sad thing is that several people were so frightened by Browning's prediction that they sold their property and moved away from the area.

Maybe. I've lived here all my life and I don't know of anyone that moved specifically because of the prediction. I guess if they're that crazy, I don't mind losing them. I know the rest of us just bought earthquake riders to go with our flood insurance . . .

Aaahh, but when the prediction comes true...My co-worker on the night shift in Los Angeles during the Northridge earthquake in 94, walked out after the shaking stopped and never returned. Didn't say a word, give notice, or leave a forwarding address for his last paycheck.
