What earthquake and when?

Maybe they have secretly started underground testing again

You felt this? and heard the walls cracking?
from an earthquake that was in February of 2008....?

Talk about someone with an itch to slam Las Vegas....THIS TAKES THE FRIGGIN CAKE.

You can tell it was a troll post because no one from CA would even open their eyes for less than a 5.0, and wouldn't get out of bed unless it was 6.0 or greater.

Somehow I have trouble believing this, or at least it being over exaggerated, with Las Vegas being over 350miles from the epicenter it could not have been that strong for a magnitude 6 quake.

And that's a strong bump from 2008.

I have heard from a friend of mine that California is going to have "The Big One" sometime in 2010 according to the "Bible Code" Makes me think

Puts me a bit on edge to considering I am going to Los Angeles this coming week for two nights

If California were to have "the Big One" this year I wonder how it would affect us here in Nevada. Boulder City and Henderson would probably become beachside resorts and Reno and Carson City would become Wine Country

I heard the Reno-Tahoe area is due for "The Big One" as well, will be an interesting time when it happens to see what areas are affected, of course hoping no lives are lost.
