Never mind the earthquake.

Oh.. My.. Gosh...

In 2015 worldwide thousands 'possibly died' from heat while millions did die from war and everything else not 'possibly heat' related.

In other news, the 90% of everywhere that didn't improve or stay the same got worse. In fact the worst areas now represent an astounding 10% of all of everywhere.

Also studies have found a direct link to living in swamps leads to above average flooding issues while living in deserts leads to above average drought-related problems and that living in heavily wooded areas have much higher risk of forest fires than living in nonwooded areas.

By the company you keep, or by the company that keeps you?

Not intended as a personal dig, just that there are times you do tend to act a little like a, for lack of a better term, 'corporate shill' for your employer.

I'm self-employed but I have a bit of a nit pick for keeping things that the media says grounded in a bit of a more rationalized larger picture type view.

As much as so many people want it to be 'may have' and 'did' are not the same.

It would be useful if I could click on the image and see the original; I can't read the print in the image pasted here.

Haven't you watch "Fear The Walking Dead?" That's the predicted aftermath of the zombiepocalypse - the military is going to bomb LA and burn it to the ground to start the outbreak. First episode this season starts with LA on fire. Better plan to be out of the zone marked as above when it comes.

No - I missed that - the bombing doesn't work - it is still full on zombiepocalypse - just a bit crispier version than the east coast variety.

I know it is but on Los Angeles it was intended to prevent the outbreak from getting any further than Los Angeles. It was still in it's beginning stages and they bombed all the major cities. I also don't think it would have driven them out, the walkers would have been attracted to the fire. All the walkers that they are coming across are those that turned outside the city limits. That's why it seems foolish to think that Mexico is a safe zone. If that was an election year, you'd hear the candidates say that it was illegals that brought the zombie virus to the US.

First impulse was false-color weather, but the channels over the ocean lead to me suggest aircraft flight paths.

LA is laced with faults.shakers are a daily thing in Calif. but we do have an enormous fault known as San Andreas. one day it will rip again. it has for thousands of years. millions of people will be impacted for a long time.

pressures continue to build, there is no "blow off valve" it will snap and slip at some point as one plate slides past the other a few inches or feet.....and it will be devastating

I saw the report San Andreas fault 'locked, loaded and ready to roll' and recognized the image. Didn't think it needed that much spelling out.

Those bands to the west that confused me have to be breakdowns in the model. Right? What kind of geology would account for clear lines like that?
