Don't you mean "was like a the 5 something"?

I'm going to the Hooters after work, wanna come?

WTF?:confused:

No... here is a list of earthuakes within the last week and some are above 6 magnitude.

When I say "here" I mean where I live (the AZ, not the OC). ;)


As in: The biggest quake ever recorded in AZ was around five-point-something (don't know the exact figure). So it isn't really a concern here. But, the rattlesnakes and scorpions make up for the earthquake deficiency. :D

Ah, I see. I must have read over the "here" in your sentance. Sorry. The Earthquakes... that's how it's done in the OC! (Did I make any sense)? ;)

And don't forget about the ants that eat babies alive, Eric. That was some wild stuff.

my aunt was never convicted of that...indicted doesn't count

Gotta love the UN, eh? Oh, and the mainstream media for paying little attention to this story.

A new $30 million UN early tsunami-warning system? They already have one!
.
But the life-saving data streaming into CNTBTO headquarters was for naught, as the 300-plus staff supposedly manning the computers was on vacation until January 4.

The U.N. agency charged with monitoring seismic activity around the globe sent all of its 310 employees on vacation the week of the massive earthquake and tsunami in South Asia, preventing any possibility of warning to the 227,000 victims.
.
Even though there were hours between the time the computers at the agency recorded the massive Dec. 26 quake and the first tsunami, nobody saw the data in the U.N. agency that spends $105 million a year – about 19 percent provided by U.S. taxpayers. They were all permitted to go on holiday at once.
.
The man responsible for that staffing decision is Secretariat Wolfgang Hoffman, 69, a German, who will be leaving the post in August after what one insider at the agency call "nine years of abuse of power." During his tenure, marked by "mismanagement of monumental proportions," he has made about $3 million in salaries and benefits.
Asked whether he had any regrets about the extraordinary loss of life, Hoffman's reply is revealing.
.
"We have been doing what we could do under the circumstance, and those who have connections to us and wanted to have the data got the data," he said. "We have to get organized better, and with the help of the states, because we are a service organization. We are not deciding this; we are of service to states and we want to be of service to states, so they have to discuss with us – and we will make proposal for this – how we could help better."
.
He explained: "I don't think we would have been able – even if we had warned them that there was a quake – I mean, took the telephone and give them an extra warning – I don't think we would have been able to avoid the catastrophe, because people on the shore had not been informed."

All you boyz wana see what the BIG ONE in CA will be like.... watch the movie "EARTHQUAKE" with Charelton Heston, Ava Gardner, George Kennedy,Walter Matheau and a host of other Hollywood character actors that needed work..... a mid 70's diaster epic....it will keep U on the edge of your seats....and put fear of the BIG ONE in CA in your hearts....

Yeah, that was a scary movie when it first came out. That and the "Poseidon Adventure."

Towering Inferno....Steve McOueen.....Paul Newman......and the Tom Lee Jones epic....Volcano...see what happens when a volcano erupts in the La Brea Tar Pits and the lava flows down Wilshire Blvd .....such realism....

Don Ro,

What HAVE you and the 'Canada Free Press’ been smoking boy?

How is set of seismic sensors designed to detect a nuke test is going to be any help in predicting a tsunami? Most quakes don't generate waves. You need specialized detectors housed in buoys in the water to detect actual waves.

Oh well, sorry for getting in the way of some healthy good ol’ fashioned UN bashing.
