Will California ever fall into the ocean?

[PrettyRagdoll]

As much as it pains me... Given the strong enough earth quake, I'd say yes

[Pixiessp]

I'll probably be dead by 2040.

[Pixiessp]

I'm feeling pretty funky right now.

[allyjoy]

we wouldn't fall into the ocean, but we'd make the best island ever.

[zajaa]

not that this has anything to do with anything..

[BROKENDOLL]

September, 2040
the most planets ever will be aligned, and some say that the gravitational pull from said alignment will cause unprecidented tidal waves, earthquakes, storms, etc. These will occur all over the world causing old continents to break up and new ones to form.
So get ready now!
Some say the end is near.
Some say we'll see armageddon soon.
I certainly hope we will cuz
I sure could use a vacation from this

Stupid shit, silly shit, stupid shit...

One great big festering neon distraction,
I've a suggestion to keep you all occupied.

Learn to swim.
Learn to swim.
Learn to swim.

"All my bags are packed, I'm ready to roll.
I'm standing here inside the door.
It's gonna shake me up before I go..."

"When the land starts breakin' and skies get warm,
there's no mistaken the big shitstorm...Already, I can
sense the shit will fly."

"So many times we've been shook around,
so many things have been knocked down.
I'll tell you now, it don't mean a thing..."

"And every place you once had known,
and all the shit you bought and own,
will slip into the sea and float away..."

"So, kiss it goodbye, like me.
Tell yourself it's gonna be,
a ride like you have never felt before...
Cuz you're livin' in California, can't say
they never warn ya..."

The Isles of CALIHAWALA!!

Wait, isn't that from Indy and The Temple of Doom? Mola Ram would say that as he took your heart!!

If he did that to california he would rip out silicone.

[Raptor Clinton]

If it does, people in San Francisco and the San Fernando Valley are FUCKED.

it's only those 2 populated areas that are on the pacific plate, the very edge. THe vast majority of the state is not going anywhere and it's not necessarily "sinking", it's shifting up. the pacific plate is pushing up and the north american plate is not moving much at all.

The plates move on average 2 inches per year. SF and LA will do some heavy shaking once in a while for the next few millenia but CA's not going to fucking fall into the ocean anytime even remotely soon.

pick up a book.

thread jack.... Jackstraw is mezzanine a decent place for a show?

yes. It actually has the best sound in SF. It's the only large 5.1 system as far as I know. However that doesn't stop some acts from pushing it to far just like anywhere else.

[obzen]

And it will be the only soundtrack Tool is ever on

thats tight huh-sweat
i liked the soundtrack for that movie!

[zajaa]

Dream crusher.

yeah if i lived in ohio i would hate california too.

[obzen]

the mountains,theyre getting closer.

thanks puente hills faultline

[SidVicuous]

well, will it? (Geologically speaking of course)

The Pacific plate is pushing up against the US plate. That's why there are still volcanoes out west and the mountains are relatively young. They are coming together and sliding against each other not pulling apart. It is not gonna fall off.
Actually if you go out in the desert here where Coachella is held you can find sea shells because this used to be underwater.
There will be a giant earthquake in San Fran one day though
