This will be ownage of the year if the earthquake really happens.

 

[Flipped Gazelle]

Food and water ain't gonna help ya as California slides into the Pacific.

Your GF was telling you something and you missed it. Also, pics of same?

 

[OCGuy]

We are due, but in the next couple days? Meh.

Also, congrats OP. Usually chicks that loony are amazing in the sack.

lol you cannot predict quakes. You should have an emergency kit ready anyways living in LA area.

Check to see if dmcowen runs that site...

We can predict quakes with spectacular accuracy and astonishing imprecision.

we do but she wanted more water and useless crap.

chances of an earthquake in the area in the next day or so: pretty good

chances of that earthquake not having much more impact than a garbage truck driving by: also pretty good.

"or so" leaves it open
there will be a 6.0 quake in CA , some time in the future, guaranteed

 

[OCGuy]

OP: You need to take advantage of this. Make her guarantee anal for the next 6 months whenever you want if the earthquake doesnt happen.

Basically, tell her she gets "the big one" if Socal doesnt.

"Well the Hayward fault in the eastside of the San Francisco Bay is a great example. The Hayward fault has a very long history of earthquakes and geologists have dug into the fault zone and looked at the rocks to determine that earthquakes in the Hayward fault happen about every 140 years with some variation. It's been 140 years since the 1868 earthquake that did a great deal of damage in the San Francisco Bay and therefore the Hayward fault is one could say about due for an earthquake.

Now there is a lot of variability in how periodic those earthquakes are so we can't say whether the next earthquake will happen tomorrow or 10 years or even 20 years from now. But we do know that that earthquake is very likely, we think it's likely to be about a magnitude of 6.8 earthquake and therefore very dangerous. And we can take steps now to safeguard the Bay area against that earthquake that we're pretty darn sure is coming." -USGS Scientist, Michael Blampied

you cant mention a SO on atot without pics

 

[lxskllr]

Fact that there'll be a >6.0 earthquake, undetermined that it'll be tomorrow. Keeping some supplies is a good idea if you live in a disaster area, but I wouldn't call out of work tomorrow. You'll look like a tard ;^)

 

[Mike Gayner]

LOL yes your GF is a moron, you cannot predict earthquakes.

wut?

 

[Kadarin]

Well, it certainly wouldn't hurt to be prepared in case one does hit, but that site looks pretty sketchy.

 

[MagnusTheBrewer]

She's an idiot for being your gf, I'll reserve judgement on the quake prediction.

 

[Jeff7]

Wow, an earthquake in California? What's next, a rainy day in the Amazon?

Racism in my atot? NO WAY
