Breaking News: SoCal/Mexico earthquake

Here I sit on the margin of SF Bay about 2.5 miles from the Hayward Fault (home of the "next big one") and about 14 miles from the San Andreas Fault (which may still have a "little" time). This reminds me - I should get that quake inspection and a few upgrades pretty quick. We have quake insurance, but it doesn't do much good if you're squawrshed... Bruce |

Breaking News: SoCal/Mexico earthquake
Some of that San Francisco area was built many years ago when they sank
some old wooden Ships (after going around the Horn from East to West.Go West young man, go West ~ Horace Greely) and then pushing some sand and dirt and who knows what else? on top of those Ships.Land fill, dontcha just know? Yah, you betcha! How San Francisco was built. cuhulin |

Mother Nature doesn't stay 'stuck' for long, too much energy. -- Operator Bob Echo Charlie 42 We have quite a bit of fault creep on some segments of the Hayward Fault; but not the whole thing, and not nearly enough to relieve the strain. That potential energy still builds, and I am afraid it will become kinetic when we least expect it. So, what's the Rose Canyon Fault? Is it a fairly separate large fault (like the Hayward), or a parallel closely-related strand of the San Andreas? And, can I hear it on 25 meters? ;-) Bruce |

Watch the dogs and cats and frogs and horses, they will let you know
ahead of time.If you see them hauling ass for the hills, follow them. Con Air movie is crankin up rat (follow the rats too) now on the EACT channel 541, on DirecTV. cuhulin |

Historically, the ancients knew the earth revolved around the sun in a little more than 365 days. A degree of arc was chosen to be 1/360 of a circle because it had many divisors, i.e., 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 12, 15, 18, 20, 24, 30, 36, 40, 45, 60, 72, 90, 120, 180, and 360. |
