Look to Japan

[Blowmax10]

I want everyone to turn to the news for 15 seconds to see what is going on in Japan and realize that this is what is headed for our west cost not to mention the Mississippi valley and even the east coast

It is not a question of if a worst case natural disaster will hit the US, the only question is in what generation will it hit

It could be 5 minutes or it could be 5 generations

I agree. earthquakes can strike anywhere, there was just a tv show on about the effects of a major earthquake hitting the heartland of america. I think the epicenter was nashville or memphis.

Yep, that'd be New Madrid Fault. According to shows I've seen, St. Louis, Memphis would be toast! That's a little too close for my liking, about 120 miles from here. "Interesting times" are coming!

One of the things that bothers me about the whole thing is the one we had about two weeks ago, when the Guy fault went. The problem was that the USGS didn't know there WAS a Guy fault. It was in Northwest Arkansas. Makes me wonder where else they are that we don't know about. It's like, yes, we know about New Madrid, we know about San Andreas, etc. but how many are out there that we DON'T know about?

That's one thing that has puzzled me. I have felt 4 quakes so far from Guy, AR, and I'm farther from that fault than the New Madrid? I have NEVER felt a tremor from New Madrid? Also, a lady said that her husband felt the last 4.7 Guy, AR quake in OKC and it registered as a 4.7 there also. Just how long is this newly discovered fault? There's just a lot of things the "experts" are completely in the dark about!

It will go red giant first and engulf the earth - our only hope is that we might be pushed out away from the chronosphere instead of vaporized

we only have 4 billon years to prepare!!!
