After Haiti and Chille, Big Earthquake Will Hit California

[Panchito]

Taiwan and Japan got hit by earthquakes recently too. I really hope California doesn't get hit.

Did you know there are not any bouts scheduled in California til the 25th of March when Demetrius Hopkins takes on the used up Freddie Norwood!

Now a boxing thread

California buildings are made to withstand earthquakes, so if it does happen anytime soon, it's not going to be as bad.

The only thing that might happen is the bridges goin down.

Doesn't matter how well we build our structures, a big enough earthquake will knock anything down.

An earthquake hit Turkey a few hours ago.

Man I don't want to be a ****, but take this **** to the lounge.

NSB is to forget about everything outside and talk about boxing, how big Pacquiao's head has grown, and if Mayweather buying a yacht is an investment.

****s going down with Earth's tectonic plates lately. Haiti 7.8 earthquake, then Japan 6.7, then Chile 8.2 and now Turkey with a 5.7 earthquake.

I would not be surprised one bit if California gets a bad one this year.

No, this is a bad assumption. Earthquakes are not connected to one another; the fact that significantly sized earthquakes struck in Haiti and Chile were by mere coincidence (they are on different plates!). Besides, there are earthquakes all the time - google California earthquake to see the USGS recordings. California is expecting a 7.0 or greater earthquake, however, when it strikes cannot be accurately predicted. The only time frame given is that by 2030 the certainty of there being a 7.0 or greater is 99.99999% or something along those lines, I don't know how far to carry the 9's.
