I thought there was a small desert near Osoyoos that was near sea level.
Quite a bit of Nunavut is under water and the rest isnt far from it.

Don't you mean how could anyone rationally take Bible code seriously for predictions?
No. The desert there is actually higher than Osoyoos. Osoyoos is a little above the lake and the desert is above that.
It'd be safe for a while yet then. I think the ocean's only risen a meter in the last hundred years. But it doesn't look much like it'll stop rising anytime soon.Quite a bit of Nunavut is under water and the rest isnt far from it.
I dont understand why people continue to build homes near the ocean for other then the view,the citys above the fault lines will eventually get hit.
That program I watched on discovery channell the other day was about Japan trying to find out what caused one of their biggest tsunamis many many years ago and their expert consulted with a sediment expert in Washington who was also studying why whole forests were turned into dead salt swamps and they came to the conclusion that the earthquake started on our west coast and tsunami travelled all the way across the ocean and hit Japan.
Dont quote that as gospel as I'm going from memory and it was late.

Sour gas fields are west and south of me and all the towns,I'm on the good side of the slide,it's hillcrest who will get buried so I'm not under a slide area,just 100 meters from where it stopped last time.;-)
All the extensiometers are on the east slope which also has 2 faults and about 500 miles of coal shafts under it so I'm not worried about being on the west side of the turtle.
Tha frank slide was caused by the coal miners and not mother nature.
Just imagine an oreo cookie with a 5 pound weight on it and what happens when you scrape out the center.
The seams lay at a 30 to 45 degree angle and mother nature starts doing her magic at about 33 degrees(natural repose) so it was inevitable that it would happen,also the natives named it Turtle mountain because it's the mountain that moves and would never camp under it and thats before it failed.
You cant see the thrust faults in this pic but the mountains folded over on itself and the big knob on the left will be the next to go,the cracks get a bit bigger every year and they dont grant building permits under it anymore because no one will insure you there now.
Heres the slide as I saw it out my window last year when a bit of action was happening.
Well people continue to build on the coast for the same reasons they always have, this fishing is better than inland and transportation is easier without all the dragging.
When the big one hits I'll probably wind up with ocean front property here in Alberta.
That's why I live on the continental divide,I can go either way in a survival situation.;-)
no. if there is a major earthquake in la in 2010, it could be just a coincidence.
I've actually had a curse on me since a child so I fear nothing anymore.
Wherever I go bad things happen,helicopters crash,trains derail,boats sink,cars crash,folks fall off mountains and people die in avalanches and for some reason I allways seem to have my camera with me and be there at the time.:-?
My friends called it the curse of the road eye as my nickname used to be roady.
And I've been called shleprock a few times also but I am invincible,I just get to witness all these bad things.
So let the mountain slide,if it does hit this side then the bed i'm sleeping in will probably be the only thing spared.:x
It's the Sonora Desert. Osoyoos - pronounced OH Sue EE Us (not O soy Yoos)I thought there was a small desert near Osoyoos that was near sea level.

Situated in the heart of the South Okanagan, and boasting the lowest annual rainfall and the highest average temperatures, this is appropriately called BC's Desert Wine Country![/FONT]

I have an ocean view. It is across rooftops but it's actually quite a clear view of the ocean. I really don't know if a Tsunami would get us or not. Lots of ocean out there!

That's the one I heard called "Sin City".
San Fransisco's nickname is the City by the Bay.
