There have been a large number of earthquakes in and around the Reno, NV area over the last month or so. They have not been very powerful thus far, but are considered unusual especially due to their frequency.

At the same time, scientists have been monitoring another atypical spat of earthquakes off the coast of Oregon. In fact, seismologists have never witnessed such a large number (over 600) of quakes in this region before.

Are these two phenomena in any way related? Could this be the prelude to a larger event in the near future? I certainly hope not. Let's hope this is just the earth's way of scratching its crotch.

Well now I'm alarmed, you non alarmist.
I for one would not miss california.
If it fell into the ocean and became its own island country and never bothered us again i would be happy.

You sound so cool for saying that, Vampir.
hmmm there are a few power plants along the coast of California, One experimental and two commercial. that could get to be pretty interesting.
lots of internet infrastucture which could be interesting for a while, but since the US internet is based around things going BOOM!!! missile command style the only thing you'd need to worry about in improperly backed up data.
I find it amazing that by 2020 first world countries will be competing to get immigrants.

Lets not forget the recent missouri quake. something big is a brewin.
Could be a HAARP operation.
Their "environmental standards" are ridiculous to say the least.
These are the environmentalists who are retarded enough to require smog pumps to be put on vehicles(clean air act of 1974) smog pumps made the gas crisis much worse, sure they saved the air a little bit, but they reduced mileage on a considerable portion of vehicles by as much as 1/3.
Lets also not forget who lives in hollywood. Britney spears, tom cruise, nutjobs all around.
LA is the capitol for idiots who get on television worldwide.
I have no problem with conservative democrats, or even liberals but california liberals are a breed of pure idiocy apart.
California produces more idiocy, stupid laws that get picked up by other idiots nation wide, and overall rampant for lack of a better term godlessness(even though im not religious)
from my point of view.
If anyone challlenges me on environmentalism they better damn well know what both a smog pump and a catalytic converter are beforehand, then also know how diesel, E85 ethanol, and other fuels produce different emissions.

Well the earthquakes off the coast of Oregon are likely linked to a emerging volcano. There quite a number of under ocean volcanos in that area. The ones in reno are possibly linked to the ones in MI because of a ripple effect as the continent adjusts. All in all nothing to bad to worry about. Big earthquakes happen all the time. We just have to deal with the aftermath
As long as silicon valley is still there im good.
Hold on Snow Leopard, imma let you finish, but Windows had one of the best operating systems of all time.
If the Powerball lottery was like Lotro, nobody would win for 2 years, and then everyone in Nebraska would win on the same day.
And then Nebraska would get nerfed.-pinkwood lotro fourms

Well, it's not like California is going to float away or sink into the ocean. The large number of earthquakes is because most of the state is at the junction of two tectonic plates, moving against each other very slowly, "horizontally" (or North and South). Eventually the shape of the continent will change, as it has many times over billions of years.
Thanks for wishing for my families death. I appreciate your concern.
Have you ever been to California? It's actually some very beautiful and rugged country. Maybe you're just having a bad day.
You can disagree with some of the people here, but we're not all like that. And to wish for someone to die because you disagree with them, geeeeeez! Maybe you should just try changing their minds. There might be some hope for them yet. I've changed my mind on more than one occasion. Haven't you?
=============================
It all seems so stupid
It makes me want to give up
But why should I give up
When it all seems so stupid
