LOC Veteran Posted August 31, 2004 Veteran Share Posted August 31, 2004 I'd be more concerned about living near New Madrid in Missouri. Because when another quake hits that area, it'll be a major major disaster. When "the big one" hit in New Madrid in 1811 and 1812 there was no one living there pretty much, these days that isn't the case: Large areas sank into the earth, new lakes were formed, the course of the Mississippi River was changed, and forests were destroyed over an area of 150,000 acres. Many houses at New Madrid were thrown down. "Houses, gardens, and fields were swallowed up" one source notes. But fatalities and damage were low, because the area was sparsely settled then. The earthquakes are estimated to have ranged from 8.0 to 8.5 in magnitude. If that happened today, forget about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chefz Posted August 31, 2004 Share Posted August 31, 2004 I'm a relatively new lurker to Neowin, but saw this thread and for some weird reason could not make myself stop reading it, even though I desperately wanted to. :huh: It's like The Day After Tomorrow meets Jerry Springer :pinch: :rolleyes: It's almost painful to read . . . . And yet very entertaining! I have to read the Area 51 forums more often . . . Chefz :happy: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2009 Posted August 31, 2004 Share Posted August 31, 2004 the funny thing about prediction on the up coming disaster is not decades or centuries anymore. now is more of OH NOOOOSSS!!! WE'VE ONLY GOT 5 YEARS TO LIVE!! come on people, we ALL have to die someday. plus if anyone of us live near the disaster, most likely it will be a painless death. as for california breaking off, it might happen, it might not. we should be more worried about the current nuclear threat right now.

Ultomato Posted August 31, 2004 Share Posted August 31, 2004 What do u people have against california? Are you jealous because we have the girls, the life, the cars, the houses, the weather, the jobs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dj6ross Posted August 31, 2004 Share Posted August 31, 2004 I should become a scientist and make funny predictions and say it will happen because i'm a scientist and I'm smart blah blah. this is like one of those holiday inn commericals. "the world will blow up in 2543 hours." said one guy. "are you a scientist?" said a different guy. "no but I did stay at a holiday inn last night" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dotRoot Posted August 31, 2004 Share Posted August 31, 2004 What do u people have against california? Are you jealous because we have the girls, the life, the cars, the houses, the weather, the jobs? Yeah true, none of those things exist anywhere else, especially not the US. I'm just jealous that you don't have to entirely spell out the word: "you". I'm so jealous of these things you call 'girls', 'cars', 'houses', etc. And I'm very jealous of your educational system. And your crime rate? Its second to none. /sarcasm The earthquake predictions have been the same for Cali, just the years have changed. But nobody has yet been able to predict an earthquake until just before its about to happen. To say a major will hit in half of a decade or more is just ridiculous.

Spartan_X Posted August 31, 2004 Share Posted August 31, 2004 While vacationing in Costa Rica earlier this year, a Costa Rican native told me about that 'super volcano' under Yellowstone. At the time, I thought she was crazy and misinformed......... but now: :blink: they know what they're talking about, "ticos" (costaricans) are used to live between volcanos, earthquakes and huricanes.... :p so far they still there... :yes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
