Nah. All the bigsh*ts with lake Tahoe property will successfully lobby against the earthquake.

Good thing my mother bought her place "up" from the Lake. Several hundred feet up.

[NormsRevenge]

Some beautiful views from up there, for sure. Pretty country.

[Mr. Mojo]

However, it's unclear when a large quake might strike.

As is always the case....

[Mind-numbed Robot]

The findings will likely make their way onto federal earthquake hazard maps that help determine building codes and set insurance rates.

And generate more government grants to study it.

Here comes another disaster movie in the making.

Wonder how long before they come out with one about this. If they could find a way to blame it on Bush...it would be on next Sunday night.

Let me know when CA slides into the Pacific.

Well we can all aspire to have been fortunate enough to have earned enough to afford lake property on Lake Tahoe. Unlesss we expect the government give it to us.

Who is paying these SOB's salary, and who bought their boat, that is the question? I hate to find fault with fault finders, but my fault is that I am a pessimist.

I'm always curious how much money was paid for this "scientific research".

Because I could have come up with the same report sitting here in Pennsylvania,and probably for a lot less money.

I do not see it as anything worthy of envy. Scenery is good, but the would-be neighbors already there are not.

[WKUHilltopper]

Are they expecting Rosie O to take a skiing trip? I can see where a fall from her could set off the end of the world...

[SierraWasp]

Hey! Bulletin... Bulletin... Bulletin... Mother Nature has her faults. People have just got to learn to live with them!!!

It's not nice to find fault with her!!!

Just don't forget... There's enough water stored in that very deep lake to flood CA's huge central valley to a depth of 1 foot!!!

[afnamvet]

Pelosi's fault.

[Irish Eyes]

I do not see it as anything worthy of envy. Scenery is good, but the would-be neighbors already there are not.

Sounds as if you have just met the wrong people:)

[Sundog]

Well then, Put a bore hole from the South East, under Heavenly Ski Resort, that comes up in the lake, and drain the thing if it is a hazard to human occupancy. Can't have any hazards now, especially waves from earth quakes. Send the water down to where it is needed, maybe Sacramento or Oakland.

Ditto that. My sister's there right now, and says it's as beautiful as it's ever been. Blue skies, temps just above freezing, and excellent ski snow.

[SierraWasp]

Oh wait! I forgot!! This cannot possibly happen!!!

Since Schwartzenegger has included the CA portion in the Sierra-Nevada GovernMental Land-Use CONservancy... Anything disastrous is no longer allowed to happen in such a GovernMental paradise. Especially one instituted by a pseudo Republican Governor!!!

This thread might as well be dead because none of this can possible happen now. It's all been prempted by GANG-GREEN groups and their Repellican Governator... SAFE!!!

[Strategerist]

Having actually read full reports of this nature (something I strongly suspect you've never done) months and even years of painstainking research go into something like this.

And there isn't exactly vast sums of money spent on this stuff - it's not the space program or building a fusion reactor.

Still continuously amazed at the crazed hatred of science and scientists around here.
