California’s uncanny “earthquake pause” is over. It should have already had several “big ones” by now. All that pressure has to go somewhere. Now geologists are nervously eyeing eight nearby volcanoes. And why has Yellowstone supervolcano been acting so weird?
The US Geological Survey (USGS) has warned Southern California to expect more big earthquakes to come. Some, they say, may even be more powerful than those experienced in the past few days.
“(These quakes do) not make (the Big One) less likely,” local seismologist Lucy Jones told The Los Angeles Times. “There is about a one in 20 chance that this location will be having an even bigger

No reason to think that the risk of earthquakes, landslides, floods, tsunamis, wildfires and volcanoes is any different this year than any year.
Unless you are talking about the Democrat party, which has massive fault lines and lots of pent-up hot gasses.

Maybe Mother Earth could take an Excedren to relieve the pressure. Or Gas-Ex if THAT is more her problem.

It irritates me when I read these fear-mongering articles that are written to incite people and get attention. Don't pay attention to them. When the super volcano's do go off or a big comet hits the Earth there is nothing you can do about it anyway, so enjoy your life now and don't live in fear and worry about it.

It's being caused by global warming! The earth and the sun have nothing to do with it.

What can we do about it? NOTHING. I'll worry about it when/if it happens.

So now California is to blame for Yellowstone earthquakes.

Yeah, it has been dormant for millions of years and will suddenly pop off now?
I'm not losing any sleep over it. Some people are "mass disaster hypochondiracs".
Grow up.

quit crying and moaning over earthquakes where earthquakes are known to occur. If idiots live in a flood plain they have no cause to complain when they get flooded out. Smart people move to places where such things don't occur and just go about their lives without whining that the sky is falling when its known that it will fall on them where they are living in advance.

The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock.

Better that a volcano destroy the United States than a bunch of crazed democrats and socialists. At least the sane people will not be blamed for allowing it to happen - unless of course you are also a believer in AGW.

We are basically clueless as to what all this seismic activity is about except that the earth’s magma is on the move.

A moderate quake under a heavily populated area is more likely - and would probably cause massive damage. Both the Bay Area and LA are laced with fault zones. Imagine millions of people without water, gas, electricity, the internet, access to ATM's, or passable roadways.

With what has happened in the USA's 'governing' body, I can only conclude from the book I read everyday, "there will be EARTHQUAKES and FIRES...". If I may reach out to others: FIND GOD, HE IS REAL...and HE IS COMING, possibly very soon...

Terra ain't so firma.
FTA: "The Earth's molten heart is always on the move. Movements deep beneath the crust are believed to be behind the North Pole's shifting magnetic field. There's a magnetic 'anomaly' in the South Atlantic that's even giving some satellites headaches."
Aside from the fact that satellites don't get headaches, there is so much that we mortals do not understand and can't predict... and wouldn't want to. This is another reason why the climate change propagandists are fanatics; they think the earth and environment are somehow static.
Amen, #9

When asked what California was doing to prevent future traumatic wildfires, Jerry moonbeam brown proclaimed..”This is the new normal, get used to it”...
So if people continue to refuse to leave that corrupt state and it’s calamities, that smacks of complete foolishness.
Don’t be fools!
Escape that left-wing albatross!
It’s cursed.

Keep an eye trained on the Yellowstone caldera.
If it blows, earthquakes won't matter.
Nothing will, especially global warming crusaders.

If San Fran were destroyed the cost of rebuilding it wouldn't be worth it.
As for the rest of CA just the Red areas.

The Left would prefer to lose 15 states rather than continue to live in Trump-World.
