Well said kathyanita. I can't follow the news on a daily basis anymore because I don't have patience to sift through the worthless bull anymore. Thanks Silver for bringing us something news worthy.

Is anyone else concerned about California being near/on fault lines and these plates? I'm from Texas so we have tornados to deal with (I've actually live here my entire life and have never seen one up close or been affected by one), but I don't perceive them as being anywhere near the threat of what California has to deal with. I would be scared to death to live there...don't know how people do it. I know it's a beautiful place to live, but for me I couldn't justify the trade off.
