(OT) S. California Earthquake

Have you truly read and researched about this subject matter other than major motion picture or books of fiction? I am serious when I say this. You may do this in the field of work that you do. I don't- I just try an use common sense. From what I have read it would 'literally' take an act of God for a storm pattern to do to New York what Hollywood book writers try an portray is going to happen in the near future. Now for sake of conversation, could it happen? Sure it could. But if you know anything about weather patterns and such it would .......like I said.....be an act of God. In that case, nothing is going to stop it. Southern California has the best weather in the country. No doubt. Just about everytime I hear or read about the weather in California it is nice. The day after the crap hits the fan and every major press/journalist is over there.....in the background it will look like a postcard. Of course minus the destroyed home/buildings/ highways and death etc. etc. etc. Again - many analogies could now be written- but I won't waste the bandwidth. ;-) The earthquake risk is part of the price one pays for living in paradise. I noticed the ironic choice of words there. **earthquake/risk/price/ paradise** It is like those four words don't belong in the same sentence but alas they are. That is what I am saying - again not to sound mean- because just like Louisiana- you think that was bad? LOL....dude that was childs play compared to what is going to happen to the western area. It may sound harsh but when it does go down - and it will- chances are (using my crystal ball again) I will be slowly sipping my coffee and shaking my head and rolling my eyes - like "DUH" don't act like this wasn't expected...lol. No- I am not sending anyone money either. Regardless of the ridiculous coverage in the national press, virtually nobody here thought it was a very big deal. Indeed it was ridiculous. That size of quake isn't nothing - I also believe nobody there felt it was a big deal because I know for a fact that it wasn't a big deal and I live in Cincinnati- imagine that. A disaster can strike one part of town and life goes on elsewhere. When you're a hundred miles wide by sixty miles high that's how it is. How many miles high are you today, Rickets? |
