6.4 earth quake in California

[Steel+Killer]

the survivors would all move to your state.... be careful about accidentally spreading cancer

I actually don't want CA to sink into the ocean and kill people......I was thinking more like it just float away like say 500 miles and become its own country and they could live happily ever after away from mainland USA.......Hey we all have dreams!

Agreed. I was in Omuta, Japan in mid-April 2016 and experienced the 2016 Kumamoto earthquake. The strongest shock was magnitude 7.0, which occurred around 1:30 am on 16 April. I got through it with no physical injuries, but was on edge for several days afterwards. The hotel i was in suffered only minor damage, but there were around 50 fatalities and a few thousand injuries nearer to the epicenter. In all my years, this shook me up (literally) more than anything else I have been through, because there is no real warning of it and not a damn thing you can do while it is going on but hold tight and plan what you are going to do when the shaking stops. Not an experience i really want to endure again.

Probably a lot like being in the epicenter of a tornado...but at least there you can go to the basement, unless youre in a trailer.

I've been through both earthquakes and tornadoes. You've got some warning of an impending tornado and may have time to get to a shelter before it hits. With an earthquake, there isn't any warning and there is no place to go to escape it. I haven't spent any time in a submerged submarine but based on films I've seen, I could imagine being in a sub which was being depth-charged would leave you with a similar feeling. There is no way to escape it once it starts - you can only grit your teeth until it ends one way or the other.

Yeah, well, I got one for 'ya. I was underneath a 150yo house resting on block foundations with about all of a 12" clearance. I thought running my back across the open circuits (yeah, it was that goddamn old) was the worst part, but no, that's when the 4.5 hit on the New Madrid Fault Line and you never know if that one is gonna be the one that turns the Mississippi around again.

My big concern was I was gonna end up like the witch in Wizard of Oz.

Been in tornadoes, hurricanes and other shit but fuck volcanoes and lahars. Fuck 'em.
