Parsnip Totin Jack ★ Posted July 17, 2015 Share #1 Posted July 17, 2015 This is a long article, but I think it presents the facts well. And the facts are that the Pacific NW (and the US) is not prepared for a natural disaster that scientists believe is coming.http://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2015/07/20/the-really-big-one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingtermite Posted July 17, 2015 Share #2 Posted July 17, 2015 I've been hearing this a lot in the past week or two. Two different people have posted articles like this one on my FB wall in the past week. It's enough to scare a guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Government conspiracy, they are gonna trigger it. Why would they do what they are apparently going to certainly do, and soon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrentonMakes Posted July 17, 2015 Share #8 Posted July 17, 2015 I will certainly hope that it doesn't happen. Still, I don't know what to make of a prediction like this. The weather service says it's going to be nice on Tuesday - four days from now - and I'm not inclined to believe that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doom sells advertising, though, so there is that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parsnip Totin Jack ★ Posted July 17, 2015 Author Share #10 Posted July 17, 2015 Well, on average, it should have happened by now. Doom sells advertising, though, so there is that.As the article stated, the problem with averages is that the average of 9 and 11 is 10. But 10 is also the average of 2 and 18.

kingtermite Posted July 17, 2015 Share #11 Posted July 17, 2015 I'm scared about this earthquake idea. I'm looking for a place to go if I need to, but the only offer I've had is from @jsharr. He said I can stay in his basement if I'll wear a gimp suit. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsharr ★ Posted July 17, 2015 Share #12 Posted July 17, 2015 Will they take California with them? I'm scared about this earthquake idea.

That lengthy article was a breath of fresh air in this Buzz-feed dominated Internet. And New Yorker cartoons are awesome and classic, ala "On the Internet, no one knows your a dog". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
