In the last week 134 earthquakes have hammered a three-mile stretch around Monterey County on the San Andreas fault. Of those earthquakes, 17 were stronger than 2.5 magnitude and six of them were stronger than 3.0, with more tremors expected in the coming weeks, experts warn. It follows fears raised last week that the &#8216;Big One&#8217; is about to hit after a series of ten &#8216;mini quakes&#8217; struck the same area. <\/b><\/p>\n<p>The \u201cBig One\u201d that geologists talk about is an expected 7-8 on the Richter Scale. While California has been preparing for a quake that size for a while now, it would still do a lot of damage and, depending on the time of day, kill a lot of California Progressives. (Well there\u2019s a silver lining)<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><b>&#8216;Any time there is significant seismic activity in the vicinity of the San Andreas fault, we seismologists get nervous,&#8217; Thomas Jordan, director of the Southern California Earthquake Centre, told the <a href=\"http:\/\/beta.latimes.com\/local\/lanow\/la-me-ln-earthquake-swarm-20160930-snap-story.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">LA Times<\/a> last year. <\/b><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><b>&#8216;Because we recognise that the probability of having a large earthquake goes up.&#8217; <\/b><\/p>\n<p>The \u201cExperts\u201d have been talking about a major quake for a long time, and a number of movies have been made about a major quake. The sad thing is, most of them have absolutely no basis in reality, so hoping that California, along with all the moonbats, will collapse into the Pacific is just a dream.<\/p>\n<p>[asa]B00BWJQEFI[\/asa]<\/p>\n<p>[asa]B0032KNA4I[\/asa]<\/p>\n<p>[asa]B00YHRMI3O[\/asa]<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong>Despite this, Ms Baltay said the recent quakes are part of normal seismic activity and that there was no suggestion the tremors were signs of larger activity to come.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">\u201c<b>This is really typical behaviour,&#8217; she said.\u201d<\/b><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">\u201c<b>It&#8217;s as if someone put an oil can into the fault and lubricated it.\u201d<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Well, since this is California, I doubt it would be oil they used.

Seismologist Dr Lucy Jones, from the US Geological Survey, warned in a dramatic speech that people need to act to protect themselves rather than ignoring the threat. Dr Jones said people&#8217;s decision not to accept it will only mean more suffer as scientists warn the &#8216;Big One&#8217; is now overdue to hit California. <\/b><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/angry.net\/blog2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/keep-calm-and-oh-my-god-were-all-gonna-die.png\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-18294\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/angry.net\/blog2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/keep-calm-and-oh-my-god-were-all-gonna-die-257x300.png?resize=257%2C300\" alt=\"\" width=\"257\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/angry.net\/blog2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/keep-calm-and-oh-my-god-were-all-gonna-die.png?resize=257%2C300&amp;ssl=1 257w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/angry.net\/blog2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/keep-calm-and-oh-my-god-were-all-gonna-die.png?resize=500%2C583&amp;ssl=1 500w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/angry.net\/blog2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/keep-calm-and-oh-my-god-were-all-gonna-die.png?w=600&amp;ssl=1 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 257px) 100vw, 257px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>As you can see, while all the experts agree that the San Andreas is going to let go eventually, they just don\u2019t have any real idea of when.
