Theres a whole lotta shaking going on.

I have a feeling that the 1860 quake between Coalinga and Santa Barbara that is now about 35 years overdue, is about to pop.

If it goes, it is supposed to be in the 9s.

"If it goes, it is supposed to be in the 9s."

That would make Cali a 3rd world country. The Illegal invasion will feel more at home. For their sake, its the decent thing to happen.

"One tequila, two tequila, three tequila, floor" has tagline potential too :-)

Nothing thus far nor is one expected. The last Pacific Tsunami Information Bulletin was on June 24, 2005, for a 4.8 quake in Alaska.

Before that there was a Tsunami Information Bulletin issued on June 16, 2005 for the 6.9 quake off the Northern Coast of California.
