Changes In Rocks Noted Before Earthquakes

Smivs writes with this snippet from an article at the BBC, well worth reading: "Scientists have made an important advance in their efforts to predict earthquakes, the journal Nature says. A team of US researchers has detected stress-induced changes in rocks that occurred hours before two small tremors in California's San Andreas Fault. The observations used sensors lowered down holes drilled into the quake zone. The team says we are a long way from routine tremor forecasts but the latest findings hold out hope that such services might be possible one day."

Fuck your levees, build ABOVE sea level. That could have saved you from billions worth of flood damage. 'Cause we always done it this way' is not a defensible excuse.

Ask your state on how God should have prevented this.

  Maybe your god foresaw this shit and was giving you a 'heads up' with Katrina. Get a clue!

Then why the national cry for help?

As far as the ID nonsense you speak of, reply to your own lawmakers about this load of crap, not me. They are the ones that passed this turd into law.

NOLA? get the news for the rest of your state. it has nothing to do with me or the rest of the country- get a clue.
