Matthew0059 Posted March 19, 2011 Report Posted March 19, 2011 Jim Berkland predicts a major earthquake heading for the U.S. west coast.Even if it doesn't happen this week like he's predicting, the logic seems to hold.**I, of course, know nothing about geology except what I retain from my High School earth science class (practically nothing) and the nice visuals provided on the video. So I'm not the best one to test the logic of the claim. But it's still an interesting claim. Quote
slamjet Posted March 19, 2011 Report Posted March 19, 2011 We've been expecting the "big one" for over 30 years. Quote
Jenamarie Posted March 19, 2011 Report Posted March 19, 2011 California is going to have an earthquake?! Impossible!!! (I put this article in the "duh" file. ) Earthquakes, tsunamies, hurricaines, floods, volcanic erupts, etc. etc. etc. The earth isn't stagnant. Everyone, everywhere runs the risk of having some act of Mother Nature come in and knock them off their feet. Quote
slamjet Posted March 19, 2011 Report Posted March 19, 2011 Someday's it feels like SoCal is a big pimple the earth is trying to pop. Quote
jayanna Posted March 19, 2011 Report Posted March 19, 2011 Well, I know many have cried wolf before, but it is true that the moon is really close right now. If you have a chance go outside and get a look, tonight or tomorrow night it is supposed to be bigger than it has been for decades, and it does have a pull on the earth, so I wonder.... But I'm not gonna worry too much, there is nothing I can do about it now. Though I also find it weird that we have been getting earthquakes and we are smack in the middle of the continent. Nowhere is safe, that's for sure. I've just gotta stand in holy places. Quote

Just_A_Guy Posted March 19, 2011 Report Posted March 19, 2011 One of the oddities I discovered when I moved from California to Utah, was how fond Utahns were of predicting that one day California will just fall into the ocean. As a Californian, I found it annoying. As an adopted Utahn, I now find it mildly amusing. Quote

What a turn-off Quote
pam Posted March 19, 2011 Report Posted March 19, 2011 The constant slams against Utahns. What a turn off. Quote

NeuroTypical Posted March 19, 2011 Report Posted March 19, 2011 I live in Colorado, and I wait for the day when both CA and the Salt Lake Valley are under water... Quote
Matthew0059 Posted March 19, 2011 Author Report Posted March 19, 2011 Yes, we Coloradoans are right next to the ideal place to be if the United States were to mysteriously start flooding. :laugh: Although I do wonder what the United States would do if this prediction were to come true. If "the big one" happened, how much of California would be affected? And what would that do to the U.S.? Quote
