Comments on: Study: Calif. Overdue For Big Quake

Forecasters Say Almost Certain State Will Be Hit in Next 30 Years

the quake that is coming to California has nothing to do with homosexuals or anything else. It''s just a fact of nature and god''s payback has nothing to do with it.

God''''s no liberal - read the bible lol. And I''''ll bet it will be the "big one". With all the homosexual trash and anti family laws they have enacted, it''''s long over due for "payback time". Would San Fran really be such a loss? I think not!

Yeah stupid, God''s a Republican. Ever read the Sermon on the Mount? Isn''t that part of your Bible?

Please continue to pick and choose which verses appeal to your irrational hatred and also please be sure to wish death upon people you don''t know, because it just reinforces the notion that your "religion" is nothing more than a vehicle for your own twisted bigory. I''m sure that''s what Jesus had in mind.

The Big one will be Yellowstone, 20 years to recover from that one.

The apparent eartquake threat is one very good reason not to live in California, especially Southern. Although Northern California also has a high probabilty of a major earthquake according to the Study.

When I think about earthquales they are the one disaster with little or no warning. There is no current accurate way to predict when and where one will occur. Not great odds when a major one hits!

A city that could be in real trouble San Francisco. The city is really strict on keeping older buildings that date back a hundred years or more. Many of these buildings are being seismically upgraded, but the land they sit on is unstable fill from the 1906 quake. The 1989 quake was minor compared to the speculated 8.5 or 9. You could find your house several blocks away from it''s original location, or through liquefaction, find your house 20 ft below the ground level.

It''s not just California or the Pacific Coast, either.
Oral traditions from the Narragansett Tribe in Rhode Island tell of a monster quake that struck the region in 1558. in 1638 another struck the St. Lawrence Valley in Quebec. In 1727 a strong earthquake hit Portsmouth, New Hampshire and very nearly flattened it. The Cape Ann quake of 1755 was felt from Nova Scotia clear to Maryland.
The series of earthquakes that struck the mid Mississippi River valley near New Madrid Missouri 1n 1812-1814 may have been the strongest ever recorded in North America.
Moving forward... Newcastle in New South Wales, Australia was very unpleasantly surprised by a 5.5 quake on 12/28/1989. It killed 12 and injured well over 200.

Here in British Columbia, they say that the "big one" is coming. They figure it could be the biggest one yet at 9. something. So far we have only had small ones.

[inventagod]

It takes money and planning to prepare for such disaster, two things Bu$hCo have no idea how to manage...
Keep plenty of water and ammunition at hand...

Hope those FEMA trailers are waterproof when California slides under the Pacific Ocean.

[michellem99-2009]

US BRIT, We had an 6.8 quake 2/28/01 here in Seattle..I was so scared was my first time in such,they really can''t say when them bloody things will come..MO has a flautline..they say that is over due..they try their best..

[usbrit-2009]

Californians are pretty much aware of earthquakes and the bulding code allows for up to 7.5 quakes without too much damage. Over that - well....

Every 3-500 years the Juan de **** fault goes off in the ocean off of Seattle. It is big enough to run an 8.0 - 8.5. The last one was on Jan 26 1700, as calulated by the tsunami that hit Japan hours later. Seattlites need to be more aware of this than they are.

In 1993 I lived in Portland Oregon and there was a 5.3 quake about 4am, and everybody freeked out. I flew to L.A in January 1994 on MLK weekend for a short weekend vacation and I was in Silver Lake when the North Ridge Quake 6.8 went off. It made the entire weekend trip worth every penny and someting I will never forget. L.A needs to get ready for a big quake and a Tsunai because walking along Newport Beach there is nothing to stop the wave from smashing everything all the way up and down the Southern California Coast Line.

Being prepared for a major disaster can mean the difference between life and death.
Have good plans, know what you need to do when something bad happens, and have everything ready to go that you and your family will need to survive for AT LEAST a week without power or a home.
Only you can protect yourself.

Here on the Gold Coast of California the people believe that they live in paradise, and are going about their petty, useless lives, what they don''t relize is that We are only treading on the back of a sleeping bear. Oh well... FEMA might help huh?
