A 5.4 earthquake shook LA a few days ago and thankfully it is just a 5.4. Obama vs McCain card comments and other news about crazy criminials bump off the news about earthquake.
Super unthinkable for America if it was the magnitude of the Chinese earthquake on May 12. It would not just be buildings collapse and lives lost.... there would also be tremendous financial impact: yes, gas (and everything else) will be even more expensive, and stock market would probably fall to the basement.
I repeatedly see this dire warning: "There is a 99 percent chance of California experiencing a quake of magnitude 6.7 or larger within the next 30 years". Unfortunately we can't get a better estimate than that. But if I live in LA I am moving. But yikes is there anywhere truly safe? But I would believe elsewhere has less than 99% chance. In 30 years, will we have better progress in earthquake prediction?
