why isn't this getting any news coverage. they had a little segment on CNN, but now they are talking about MJ.

MSNBC had some text about it. It's midnight in New York so all the reporters are sleeping. I'm sure they are bringing people in. I would be very surprised if this doesn't become breaking news. If this happened during the day, I'm sure all the channels would have broke in.

There aren't any major fault lines along the East Coast. There is however the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, which is a major tectonic feature. There's also several volcanic islands off the coast of Africa which could cause a "Super Tsunami" which would wipe out much of the East Coast of the US, along with most the coastal areas along many countries in the Atlanci basin areas.

Could also be a meteor/comet strike in the Atlantic, doesn't have to be a big one.

hehe, we watch the same shows on the discovery channel. the canary islands are ready to collapse, which would create super tsunami that would wipe out the east coast.

and i didn't feel a thing in los angeles...

I'm in San Jose, Ca. about 300 miles south of the epicenter and the local tv station broke into programming and issued a tsunami warning. They say any wave would hit us in about 15 minutes from now. I'm not too worried because they are not seeing any immediate impact up the coast. We'll see.

Quote of the Day from Weather Channel:

"Tomorrow the beach will be fine, assuming there will be a beach."

And earlier he said "Stay on the beach"

yea, that lady walking across was classic. what a dumbass.

I think a Maynard quote applies here:

Here in this hopeless ******* hole we call LA

The only way to fix it is to flush it all away.

Any ******* time. Any ******* day.

Add one more, there was a 4.9 O.E.R. in Crete this morning (Yesterday morning for me as it is currently 02h06 05/06/16) ... How much do ya wanna bet there will be 2 or 3 more earthquakes in the next few days... I am guessing a 6.0 for Japan, and a 5.4 for Iran... Just guessing, basing off of past earthquake clusters... :laugh:

I always worry about earthquakes out here even though I have been through the biggest (7.1 in '89). The problem is you don't know if this is the first in a series of progressively larger quakes or if that's it. I went through a quake when I was a kid that was about a 5.0 and it freaked me out because I was home alone. When I finally calmed the hell down BAM! a much bigger and more violent one hit. That stuff stays with ya. I'll be sleeping in my jeans and tennis shoes tonight... :unsure:
