It seems the Bay area had twin Quakes of 3.5 and 4.0 on Monday.

When I first moved to San Francisco's Bay Area 28 years ago. I experienced a 6.2 Quake while in my first week on the job in the City. The floor buckled in a series of sine waves . The building I was In swayed and you could hear the girders groaning. We stood in a door way arch and I thought that my number was up. Turned out a few buildings lost some bricks and windows and the sidewalk had a few more cracks.

My wife was at home unpacking from the move and watched the chandelier over the dining room table sway back and forth. She thought to herself that that's the way things are out here.

Well at least You rode the quake out intact, they are unnerving of course, but then SF is built almost on top of the San Andreas fault line, LA is a little more lucky in regards to the San Andreas, as LA is built some distance away from the San Andreas.

If the San Andreas goes we say bye bye California. If the Yellowstone caldera goes, we say bye bye USA ......

Change the first if to when. As to the bye bye it depends where the rupture is. If in the farm lands California will recover, if under LA or SFO, bye bye!

At least there's one thing about living out here, I've gotten away from it all, including the Rat Race...

I think the Yellowstone Super volcano is also a when and not an if. I just hope it's a long way in the future.

My motto: Never do today what you can put off until tomorrow as it may not be required. This no longer applies in light of current events.

Doubt It will happen anytime soon, that Caldera is monitored by the Interior Department, even though some want to stupidly kill that department out of sheer ignorance...

I've read that the Earth was hit by an asteroid 19200 years ago, which caused the extinction of many species, including mammoth and saber-toothed tigers.

The 150 foot asteroid which is supposed to pass inside of our highest satellites later on this year sure scares me.

And those Saber tooted cats have evolved several times from what I've read and then went extinct, so they could make another comeback, maybe.
