The mountains and the canyons started to tremble and shake as the children of the sun began to awake. Seems that the wrath of the Gods Got a punch on the nose and it started to flow; I think I might be sinking. Throw me a line if I reach it in time I'll meet you up there where the path Runs straight and high. To find a queen without a king, They say she plays guitar and cries and sings... la la la la Ride a white mare in the footsteps of dawn Tryin' to find a woman who's never, never, never been born. Standing on a hill in my mountain of dreams, Telling myself it's not as hard, hard, hard as it seems. |

We'd also rather put up with Earthquake, which are becoming more and more insignificant as earthquake-resistant structual devices become more advanced and widespread, than deal with volcanoes and superstorms. (The most dangeorus part of an earthquake isn't the shaking itself, it's the possiblity of a tsunami. As far as humanity has come we have yet to discover ways to protect ourselves from tsunamis, except for avoiding getting in front of their destructive paths. But in time we will.) |

I desperatley need the work. After quakes here, you make mass cash putting mobile homes back up on their jacks and leveling them. Patching cracked cement. Replacing broken windows. all KINDS of work! And then FEMA shows up 3 weeks later to rescue everyone, and even the bums are suddenly sleeping at the Hilton! As for "falling into the ocean", the few intelligent people know how plate techtonics work, and understand that over the next 500,000 years as that does indeed happen, albeit slowly, they probably wont live for that long, even with Obamacare... Basically, the ground shakes a little, and then we go on with our lives. Unlike you midwesterners who get your entire houses picked up and thrown 300 yards in a tornado, or flooded out, or have trees embedded in your houses during hurricanes, or getting your frosticles severely tested 8 months out of. the year... |

Once California is gone, that's it. 1 Timothy 3:16 KJV And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory. Isaiah 9:6 KJV For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. Mark 16:16 KJV He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. Acts 2:38 KJV Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. Romans 8:6-9 KJV 6) For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. 7) Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be. 8) So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God. 9) But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his. Matthew 15:8-9 KJV 8) This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me. 9) But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men. Acts 5:29 KJV Then Peter and the other apostles answered and said, We ought to obey God rather than men. "The biggest sign from God, to let us all know that man can never be God? Death." - Anonymous |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 27725111 why not move? even the so called experts say the area is long overdue for the big one There can only be one explanation!! NAKED PEOPLE!!! “A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear. The traitor is the plague.” Marcus Tullius Cicero "You must submit to supreme suffering in order to discover the completion of joy." - John "Calvin" Rambo |
