Preparing for an earthquake? Don’t bother.
If you’re in a well built building... Everything will be fine... A poorly built building... You’re screwed. That’s about all you’ve got... And they’ll never be able to warn you ahead of time... By the time they figure out that an earthquake is happening... Well... It’s happening.
Would it be wrong to hope that California falls in to the sea?
Yes, because it would kill a lot of innocent people, including the founder of Free Republic.
“”Would it be wrong to hope that California falls in to the sea?””
Not if you’re a hell-bound demon or ghoul that cares nothing for human life. You’re not, are you?
I experienced the Santa Barbara quake in 1978. As I recall it was a 5.2? Enough to get your attention but not too much significant damage overall.
I don’t think so personally.
That’s right.
In an earthquake zone, a well built building is not rigid. Brick buildings have great vertical strength, but a little lateral movement and it comes down.
“Would it be wrong to hope that California falls in to the sea?”
Sure man. Whatever makes you feel tingly. We don’t need all those military bases and innocent people.
The Santa Barbara Earthquake--Vernon Dalhart (1925)
And this tune was the flip side on Columbia. However, the version featured here was released on the Cameo label and has a better quality than the ones on Columbia, Edison and other labels available on Youtube. Dalhart tells the story of the sensational "Monkey Trial" of John T. Scopes, a teacher who dared to teach Charles Darwin's theory of evolution in Tennessee.
Yes, it would. I don't want to have to swim to Arizona.
Day after day, more people move to LA
Don't you tell anybody, the whole place is shaking away.
(There she goes!)
Where can we go when there's no San Francisco?
Better get ready to tie up the boat in Idaho!
Huge oil field off the coast of Santa Barbara no drilling allowed sometimes oil washes on the beaches not a stable area.
Newsom and Karen Bass and their fellow fraud-elected Democrats have made earthquakes obsolete when it comes to destruction in California.
Scopes was a science teacher and football coach. He was recruited by the ACLU to test the unconstitutionality of the BUTLER ACT.
He was never put in the stand in the trial cause they knew he would not be able to answer any questions on biology. He was substituting and read from a textbook which discussed evolution. After the trial he admitted that he did not remember if he had actually taught evolution...but the case garnered national attention for Dayton, Tennessee. Brought in lots of money. Although the case was framed as a “backwoods hillbilly hick” vs. “intelligent fair minded science” ...it was about a state taxpayer being able to have influence on what their children are being taught.
It did expose the modus operandi of the ACLU..which is what they seem to still do.
See Tennessee museum, 5 things you didn’t knout Scopes trial website
