You think that's bad, just wait until the big earthquake hits the N.American West Coast. Supposedly there's supposed to be one that could happen anytime between now and like 300 years, but nobody knows when. It's supposed to wipe out a big chunk of California and Vancouver Island in Canada. Anybody know what i'm talking about?

I am more worried about the super volcano under Yosemite or is it Yellowstone. Anyone ever hear of it? When it goes, and it goes off every 50,000 years or something like, it will take most of the life in the central US.
