    I can only feel that now that it's happened there, it's just a matter of time before it happens in NYC.

    We had a 3.8 a few years ago and it felt like a truck hit the side of the house.

    Actually my understanding was that quake was just signalling the spot where the volcano will break through the ground in the middle of beautiful downtown San Diego....... and on the exact day as the 2nd anniversary of the 9.0 Japan quake and tsunami..... thats what you have to call warming up in the bullpen for anyone living on the west coast of North America!
    Why,driving into a brick wall at 60 miles per hour, would I expect it not to hurt!

    One can only hope that the epicenter of the big West.Coast quake will be
    on Tillicum Rd. in Saanich, BC......
    Encrypt everything. Even if you have nothing to hide. It increases the noise floor.

    Yep, you can only feel that way.

    "One can only hope that the epicenter of the big West.Coast quake will be on Tillicum Rd. in Saanich, BC."

    You're forgetting the history of that part of North America. A quake there will cause a tsunami that will inundate the coasts of Washington and Oregon where evacuation routes are already mapped out but will they get to high ground in time? Then across the Pacific there is Hawaii and Japan, one Fukashima was enough. BTW, tillicum to da prison won't be soon enough AND we've had our fill of saaniches, how about a hot meal for a change?

    "Actually my understanding was that quake was just signalling the spot where the volcano will break through the ground in the middle of beautiful downtown San Diego......."

    Oh, you mean something like this?

    Yeah...... something like that


    .......and when the 9.0 plus quake does hit us..... and it will,we'll be seeing the bonus of the tsunami as well.Something to look forward to.......NOT!


    I've experienced a 7.0 quake here on Vancouver Island.... scared the hell out of me

    I really hope the big one won't happen in my lifetime! :shock:

    I made it through the '89 Loma Prieta quake (7.1) in the Bay Area, that's the biggest one I care to have to deal with on this round of the wheel.
    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.
