and there was 5.5 - I felt silly posting it in public, sure I'd be wrong - still feel there will be a stronger quake in the next few days Check out Anne Rice's Facebook page about 14 or 15 hours ago - I posted the link The other prediction? That George Clooney will be getting married http://www.cnn.com/2012/02/13/us/california-earthquake/index.html?hpt=hp_t3 5.5-magnitude earthquake rattles Northern California By the CNN Wire Staff updated 4:37 PM EST, Mon February 13, 2012 (CNN) -- A 5.5-magnitude earthquake struck Northern California on Monday, the U.S. Geological Survey reported. The quake's epicenter was six miles from Weitchpec, about 120 miles west of Redding, at a depth of 20.4 miles, according to USGS. There were no immediate reports of damage or injuries. http://www.facebook.com/annericefanpage/posts/10150673796050452 Cynthia Mountain posted to Anne Rice Hey Anne, any chance you'll be away from the San Francisco/L.A. area in the next couple of weeks - not that I'm a great psychic or tarot card reader, but I'm very good with knowing when there's going to be an earthquake - maybe cause I was born in Los Angeles - anywho, just a feeling that a quake will hit either San Francisco or L.A. so go stay in New Orleans or something - hopefully I will be proven wrong - · · 14 hours ago · Anne Rice: I live in the California Desert. 10 hours ago · Cynthia Mountain then you are safe and sound - usually if I tell people nothing happens - if I don't tell boom, right after I posted that "warning" I checked my email and I had an earthquake notice (usually it takes 3 days) 6.1 Costa Rica 10 hours ago · o Cynthia Mountain but that's not it - 3 days to a week oh and George Clooney is getting married, cause his girlfriend is pregnant lol not that's a long shot (CNN) -- A 5.5-magnitude earthquake struck Northern California on Monday, the U.S. Geological Survey reported.

Ranier blowing up - http://geology.com/usgs/rainier/ Mount Rainier - Living Safely With a Volcano in Your Backyard Majestic Mount Rainier soars almost 3 miles (14,410 feet) above sea level and looms over the expanding suburbs of Seattle and Tacoma, Washington. Each year almost two million visitors come to Mount Rainier National Park to admire the volcano and its glaciers, alpine meadows, and forested ridges. However, the volcano's beauty is deceptive. U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) research shows that Mount Rainier is one of our Nation's most dangerous volcanoes. It has been the source of countless eruptions and volcanic mudflows (lahars) that have surged down valleys on its flanks and buried broad areas now densely populated. To help people live more safely with the volcano, USGS scientists are working closely with local communities, emergency managers, and the National Park Service. An Active Volcano at Rest Between Eruptions Mount Rainier, an active volcano currently at rest between eruptions, is the highest peak in the Cascade Range. Its edifice, capped by snow and 25 glaciers, has been built up by untold eruptions over the past 500,000 years. It last erupted in 1894-95, when small summit explosions were reported by observers in Seattle and Tacoma. Mount Rainier's next eruption might be of similar or larger size and could produce volcanic ash, lava flows, and avalanches of intensely hot rock and volcanic gases, called "pyroclastic flows." Some of these events swiftly melt snow and ice and could produce torrents of meltwater that pick up loose rock and become rapidly flowing slurries of mud and boulders known as "lahars." In contrast to lava flows and pyroclastic flows that are unlikely to extend farther than 10 miles from the volcano's summit and remain within Mount Rainier National Park, the largest lahars can travel for tens of miles and reach Puget Sound. Volcanic ash will be distributed downwind, most often toward the east, away from Puget Sound's large population centers. Airborne plumes of volcanic ash can greatly endanger aircraft in flight and seriously disrupt aviation operations. Although seldom life threatening, volcanic ash fallout on the ground can be a nuisance to residents, affect utility and transportation systems, and entail substantial clean-up costs. Lahars Pose the Greatest Risk At Mount Rainier, the risk from lahars is greater than from lava flows, volcanic ash fall, or other volcanic phenomena because some pathways for future lahars are densely populated and contain important infrastructure such as highways, bridges, ports, and pipelines. Lahars look and behave like flowing concrete, and they destroy or bury most manmade structures in their paths. Past lahars probably traveled 45 to 50 miles per hour and were as much as 100 feet or more thick where confined in valleys near the volcano. They thinned and spread out in the wide valleys downstream, slowing to 15 to 25 miles per hour. Deposits of past lahars are found in all of the valleys that start on Mount Rainier's flanks.
