Hey this is Silver again it's been a while since I wrote on here, but I just got back on the ol computer again so I thought I'd write a few messages... but my small town Dillon Montana just had a 5.3 earthquake that lasted for like 45 seconds. I lived in cali long enough for it not to bother me but should i worry about montana and wyoming blowing to hell??

Yes you should worry because it will probably blow up eventually, but No you should not worry because there is nothing you can do about it.

I'd wait and see if there's more activity before deciding to bail out. If more quakes like those hit in that general area, then you're probably right, and it'd be time to leave.
Btw, that quake wasn't within the Yellowstone caldera.

If Yellowstone "blows up" you would want to be as far away as possible... Say... Florida...
Or Ecuador.

Hi fj welcome back!
Don't worry, I have it on good authority that California will fall into the ocean before Yellowstone pops it's cork.

The Yellowstone volcano is one of several things I think I'd be much better off being completely ignorant about.

I've been hearing this for years. From what I understand, it would effect Idaho too if it blew to hell. Which, unfortunatly, is where I am. :
Maybe after were dead, we can have a nice big LAN party, eh Silver?

It would affect over 90% of the entire United States.
Even as far away as Washington DC, you'd get several inches of ash.

That's if the killer bees don't get to us first.

Query: what does the end of a calendar created by a Central American civilization thousands of years ago have anything to do with the end of the world? I've heard about this calendar before, but I've never heard any rational explanation as to why a simple end in a Mayan calendar would signify anything other than the need to buy a new calendar.

Exactly!!
Don't forget that according to the people of 1999 we were supposed to die in 2000 because of a computer glitch rumor that I never bothered to worry about.

low 5's I wouldn't worry about FJ
we had 3 quakes in so cal over the course of 5 days (bout a month ago IIRC) All were 5-6 and I still don't worry about the "big one" that's supposed to drop LA into the ocean
The earth is gonna do its thing if you worry about it or not.

Yeah, we had another one that was 4 point something and a lot of little aftershocks that woke me up. They pissed me off. Sip the beer you left by your bed and go back to sleep, Apparetly it's been overdue for like 40 years here and there shouldn't be another one for another like 40 or 50 years. The weird thing is the day that it happened it was super cold up here, and recently it's been hot as ★■◆●. I wonder if that had anything to do with it.
