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."

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:

    • Poll: Grand Theft Auto VI price predictions, cast your vote

      Poll: Grand Theft Auto VI price predictions, cast your vote by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe After years of waiting, Rockstar will be solidifying the launch date of Grand Theft Auto VI with the launch of pre-orders next week. While the studio has confirmed a date for this occasion, it is yet to attach a price to the highly anticipated game. So let's see what our readers think it will cost at launch. The Grand Theft Auto VI pre-orders will kick off on June 25 for digital and physical editions. Unless some last-minute changes happen, the release date will be November 19, 2026, across Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5. Unfortunately, there's still no information about a PC version from the developer or the publisher Take-Two. Now the question becomes, how much will Grand Theft Auto VI cost at launch? The game is predicted by some analysts to be the biggest launch of an entertainment product ever. With the amount of hype that has been built behind it and with ballooning development costs, Take-Two may price this Grand Theft Auto entry differently from other AAA titles. The current price of a AAA game is $69.99. That norm almost rose to $79.99 before calming down. But with such a massive release, Grand Theft Auto VI may be the game that pushes the boundary again. It's also possible that Take-Two keeps the price relatively low to increase the number of players that jump in early and keep them hooked on Grand Theft Auto Online to spend on microtransactions for years to come. Keep in mind that the below poll is asking for a prediction of the standard edition price, not a deluxe or any other special edition that Take-Two will introduce for additional benefits. Also, there is the chance of the company splitting up the campaign and online portions. If you think that will happen, put your vote on what you think will be the total cost of the two. Poll Poll: How much will Grand Theft Auto VI cost? $59.99 $69.99 $79.99 $89.99 $100 or more Submit Vote If you have a very specific prediction in mind, sound off in the comments below.
