Is this the end of the world? Tsunamies/earthquakes

[WHScenter]

Since all of the cummosion occuring world wide could it be the end?
Scientist report that the 9 earthquake and the tsunamis have changed the speed that the earth travels around the sun. The death toll has now reached 67,000 and many more missing. Just let me know what your opinions are towards "the end of the world".

California Storm Causes Mudslides, Floods

LOS ANGELES -- A powerful storm pounded California for a second day Tuesday, flooding freeways and desert roads, tossing boats ashore and triggering a rockslide that blocked Highway 1 on the central coast.
Three deaths were linked to the storm that roared down from the Gulf of Alaska and into the nation's most populous state on Monday.
One victim was apparently killed as he tried to surf big waves at Montara State Beach south of San Francisco. Also, a trucker died in a crash on an interstate north of Los Angeles and a sanitation worker was killed in the San Fernando Valley after touching a fallen power line.
Power outages affected more than 100,000 customers in Southern California.
Rain from the storm totaled between 12 and 13 inches in areas of Santa Barbara and Ventura counties, officials said.
Downtown Los Angeles got a record 3.98 inches of rain by Tuesday afternoon, topping the 2.09 inches set on Dec. 28, 1931.
More heavy weather was on its way, according to forecasters. A potentially stronger system was due to enter northern California late Wednesday, bringing heavy snow and high winds to the Sierra Nevada and eastern parts of the state through Friday.
Flash-flood warnings were posted Tuesday in southeastern California for parts of San Bernardino, Riverside and Imperial counties. Authorities reported flooding along highways near Joshua Tree National Park, and warned motorists to be alert crossing washes and driving near creeks.
Residents were ordered to evacuate about 50 homes in the San Bernardino County town of Devore, 60 miles east of Los Angeles. A flash flood on Christmas Day 2003 killed 16 people near there.
San Francisco and surrounding areas had clear skies after heavy rain Monday, but light rain fell elsewhere Tuesday in northern California and in the Central Valley, while snow showers dusted the Sierra Nevada.
A quarter-mile of Highway 1 in southern Monterey County was closed Tuesday after heavy rain caused a rockslide near Lucia, about 25 miles south of Big Sur.
At Santa Barbara, the storm threw ashore a 60-foot fishing boat, 35-foot trimaran, a cabin cruiser and three sailboats. None of the vessels appeared salvageable, Harbor Patrol Officer Bob Brandenburg said. Winds overnight ranged from 35 mph to 45 mph and surf reached about 7 feet.
The Tuesday morning commute was treacherous across Southern California, with hundreds of crashes reported on wet freeways in Los Angeles and San Diego, the state Highway Patrol said.
"We've had a lot of fender-benders, a lot of overturned vehicles, and vehicles spinning out and going off the road," CHP Officer Francisco Villalobos said.

I've had that sick feeling since 11/3/04....

I have read that the frequency and intensity of earthquakes and such has gone way up in recent years, but I dont know if we are either looking at a 50 year or so trend, which is nothing compared to the last few thousandyears, or if our ability to detect and measure earthquakes is just that much more advanced now.

I mean, tsunamis and quakes have been happening forever. It just seems more severe because of the degree of precision with which we can observe them and with the coverage they can now recieve from the global media.

For example the new madrid earthquakes in the early 1800s are said to have been similar on the richter scale as the one that caused this tsunami, and there were 3 of them. Quakes are nothing new.

Hey, beach front property in Kansas!

Um, does the beach face east or west? I need to know.

I don't think this is the end of the world, but, it is a sign of bad things to come. It was estimated that 60,000 people died. And, after the tsunami hit, it is expected that this will lead to water contamination, so they are f@cked!
They don't have any water to drink, W.H.O. said it was estimated that the death toll will now double with the water contraversy.
