Now that global warming is rapidly being debunked, they need a new cause to scare people into submission, and this may be it.

I wonder what they'll want us to give up in our lifestyles to prevent the "big one".

Sounds to me you'll be moving, one way or another, even if you don't mean to.

I’m starting to think that whole chunk of California west of the fault lines will eventually collapse into the Pacific, but it won’t happen soon enough for the Democrats to blame it on Bush.

Women and minorities hardest hit!

Just so long as I’m home sick that day.

Otherwise the Mrs. and the kids will be enjoying their new beachfront property without me.

I grew up in L.A.
The L.A. County Sheriffs are the toughest cop force I’ve seen.
When they started having practices for predicted food riots for after the big one hits I decided to leave.
There is NO food grown in the L.A. area. It is all trucked in.
The water comes from 400 miles north from a river called the feather river. If a real big quake hits and disrupts the water supply and a quake knocks out the freeway system, how ya gonna get food and water to those 20 or so million folks?

hmm previous models said it would be complete and utter destruction.... as opposed to this new model that shows ... utter and comple...er... um...

I, for one, am perfectly willing to give up Hollywood and all the moon-bats thereof. And I'm willing to contribute a dollar if the LA Times goes with it.

We are all going to die someday Ernest unless we allocate more money for “Research”...

[Walkingfeather]

from the mormons...where else?

And they send their human fecal matter to Kern County.

They're gonna' be in a world of hurt, trapped in LA without what they need and with what they don't need.

[ScreamingFist]

We're not going to die by...earthquakes, volcanoes, meteors, global warming. global ice age....nor any other of the 50 pop science, MSM supported, government funded BS touted daily.

We'll die at the hands of men. Probably well meaning idiots jack-booting along with the like of hillary......the Earth will do what it's always done.

The water comes from 400 miles north from a river called the feather river.

Part of the year, the rest of the year it comes from the Colorado River.

There is a subtle difference between the supply that is able to make it past the water filtration systems and temporarily crash the yield in semiconductor manufacturing. I got in considerable trouble when I warned my boss to expect a 2 week yield crash when they switched. He kicked me out of his office when I made the prediction. Then called me on the carpet to explain what I did to cause the crash, and called me a liar to my face when I told him how I knew it was coming.

(He did call me years later to apologize when he realized it was true)...

Still, it’d be worth it just to see “Snake” Pliskin surf the
runoff.
