Earthquakes swarming and getting stronger.

If you are the Mayor (or the Governor), do you order an evacuation?

If L.A. gets hit by "the big one" and is more or less destroyed, does the U.S. government pay to rebuild it, knowing it could happen again?

This is just the engine turning over after yanking the crank cord of the Katrina doomsday device.

No worries.

Drudge never exaggerates or misleads in it's headlines so....might as well cede LA to the ocean.

Is Drudge tracking the earthquakes on radar?

It's hard for me to empathize with the folks in LA or New Orleans. I mean, you KNOW the fricking disaster is coming and yet people still choose to live there. Unfortunately for the American tax payer, we will foot the bill for their bad decisions when it happens..... Again.

Maybe the whole bay are will just fall off into the ocean. It'll still be Bush's fault, but would definitely shift the voting demographics of Cali.

Climate change and fracking are responsible for the increase in earthquakes.

The problem is that places like LA are a time bomb. There will be a big earthquake one day that will cause major devastation, we just don't know if that is tomorrow or in 100 years. Honestly, now that we know the dangers of certain areas, we need to make a lot better choices on where to build. I live in NOLA, but this place will be beachfront property when I die. We need to look at the longevity of certain places we want to build at, and understand the consequences.

Also, screw living in Manhattan. Imagine what would happen in the event of a real disaster there. Why people are still living in dense urban areas doesn't make sense to me.

Where are you gonna evacuate 18 million people to, and how do you move them quickly in a way that won't become the mother of all clusterfricks?

You do realize that most of us carry separate earthquake insurance, right?

And like others have said, every area is prone to natural disasters.
