Hi Crabit and welcome.

I'd love to speculate on this matter, but to which "big one" do you refer? This site has a great many big ones in it.

Eh crabit if by "the big one" you mean the end, then don't you think that if we've been around for millions of years, why would we die out in our lifetimes?

wot i mean by the big one is the predicted massive earthquake on the san andreas fault

The next "big one" and by that i mean a magnitude of 8.0 or greater will more than likely be on The New Madrid Fault. It is over due for a giant quake. The cost of this dissaster will be in the 10s of billions of dollars and depending on the epicenter (if it is lets say within 50 miles of St. Louis or Memphis) the loss of life will be unlike anything weve have ever seen in this country. Lets just hope the people in this reigon including myself get a couple of 4.0 warning quakes before she really lets us have it.

There was a Horizon program recently about a 'storm' of earthquakes that's gradually been moving East through Asia. Apparently Istanbul is right in its path and will be devastated sooner or later.

I think the next "big one" will be at the fault off shore from Tokyo. With that one we may also get to see what a "small" Mega-Tsunami would be like. Its also over due, and I think the Japanese already have this incredibly creative name for it.<img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/images/emoticons/embarassed.gif ALT=":o">

And then again the Cascadian fault is also over due. I belive estimates of the last time it went off were in the 8.6 range.8o

The trouble with Japan is that depsite being extremely earhquake prone, they thought they'd get all their power needs through nuclear reactors.

Smart.

The big one I fear most is the "Corporate" owned world developing around us every day.Sort of like the original "Rollerball" movie.I feel through our excessive appetites to achieve a euphoric bliss of luxury and dominance,we will survive as nothing more than the cogs we feared becoming in the first place.Hanging on in that horrid corporate wheel of conformity.Billions of personal armageddons,tailored to the individual.Delivered,24 hours a day,to your home,by a corporate owned media,driven by a desire to quench the thirst for greed,power,lust,sex,drugs and rock-n-roll...Where can I buy a tee-pee(And of course,a generator...):p

Good description of the human condition. We forgot that we are animals. I'm mammal. What are you? I thought that towards the end of my life I would die. What will you do?

The main risk area appears to be near where Arkansas, Missouri, Illinois, Tennessee, and Kentucky come together. If a really big one hit there, I wonder if it would do much here in Little Rock...

I believe Don MacClean was singing about something else...the death of JFK.

I can pull the lyrics out of over 1,000 songs and fit them to my thinking - but that doesn't make them prophetic.

i live here in cali. the big one..... wel aside from the damage. people are going to want to get out of cali, or move around, but all our freeways are going to be destroyed. there suposed to be earthquake proof. but they suspect the earthquake will be as big as 7.0 or bigger. no one really knows what will happen. maybe just tune in to "It could happen tomorrow" ???

Sorry Hybrid, that was the wrong thread.
