San Andreas Fault: Locked, loaded and ready to roll

At least I'm in San Diego where they don't have earthquakes.
Let the pathetic souls of Hollywood get swallowed up

There are some large fault lines right off the coast of San Diego, so enjoy your tsunami..."learn to swim..."
Or maybe I just turned around and ask my co-workers and asked them the last time they felt an earthquake in San Diego and they all said at least 10 years ago if not more.
Because you know major earthquakes happen every day in LA and Southern California
I said major earth quake hell we have earthquakes here in upstate sc fairly regularly
I took a little time to read up on this stuff and a lot of what we believe and repeat is simply myth. San Andreas fault marks the boundary of the North American Plate and the Pacific Plate. There are three kinds of plate boundaries...divergent (the plates pull apart), convergent (the plates push together), and transform (the plates slide horizontally in relation to each other). San Andreas is a transform plate. The earthquakes are sparked from the friction of the two plates rubbing together when they move. They move about 2 inches per year.
Myth 1: California will fall into the ocean. Not going to happen. Most of California sits on the Pacific Plate. It's movement is sliding north. Tremendous earthquakes can happen from that movement but there is no hole for the plate to drop into. As much as some hope it will swallow the bastion of liberalism it isn't going to happen. Now...if you live in LA and have friends you want to visit in San Francisco you are in luck. They will someday be adjacent...in 15 million years or so...if man actually exists for that to matter.
Myth 2: There will be a giant tsunami. Not likely. The plate boundaries off the coast of Japan (one is the Pacific Plate to get an idea how big the plate is because it's the same plate California sits on) create a movement called subduction where there is a movement downward of the plate. This happens under the ocean and the displaced water can cause the tsunami like we saw in Japan. The same conditions do not exist with San Andreas. There can certainly be local flooding from shelf collapse or landslides under the ocean but nothing like what happened in Japan.
So...sorry for all the wishful thinking. Liberalism will have to die a death of their own device.

Downtown I didn't feel a thing. Borrego Spring is about an hour and a half from where I live. Try looking at a map.
Do you live and work out here?
Don't tell me how it went when I know what happened. Look at a map again and tell me where Borrego Springs is in correlation to Downtown San Diego. Shit there is a mountain range that isolates the desert and the earthquake hit areas of San Diego County and the City of San Diego where I live.

Never once did I say it didn't happen you ****ing idiot. I said I didn't feel it. Big difference in word structure.
And what the **** does my wife have to do with anything. Are you jealous or something?
So I say once again look at the ****ing map again

Just about but there is a mountain range between the places and from what people tell me absorbs the shocks from earthquakes and blocks the downtown areas. Hence why I didn't feel it
I do not live and work out there.
In 2015 a 5.8 quake hit the DC area, the epicenter is over 160 miles from me and I felt it.
It doesn't work that way. See Nepal.
Funny, a friend of mine felt it in downtown San Diego. Maybe you were drunk or something.
That crack/indention is a place to put all these Ali al-Akbar supporters. Hopefully a second gold-rush will occur and explosions happen all around that area.

He went from saying he did not feel it and told me to look at a map to telling me not to tell him how it went and told me to look at a map to saying he never said it did not happen and told me to once again look at a map... Funny thing is, I only asked if he is still earthquake free, I never said an earthquake happened in San Diego.
