6/30     The USGS is giving a free lecture on Tsunami's at 7 PM tonight.
                                                     \_ an apostrophe doesn't

10/20  Earthquake!
       http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/recenteqsus/Quakes/nc71667366.html
       \_ It's funny that the Great California ShakeOut earthquake drill just
          took place this morning.  It'd be even more funny if the quake hit
          during the drill.

12/2    So I am trying to convince my company to take disaster planning
        more seriously. Does anyone have any hard numbers on how often
        data centers fail? I mean blow up, burn down, flood, etc, with
        total loss of all services for an extended period of time.
        \_ hard numbers tend to be SEKRET.  But check out Yahoo's recent
           outage and UltraDNS' outage.  Those were both pretty bad.

7/29    5.8 quake in LA
        \_ Felt exactly like Whittier quake, so it's not surprising it's
           roughly the same size. A whole lotta shaking, though.
        \_ Chino Hills is NOT Los Angeles. Los Angeles is in-between
           the 110 the 10 and the 5. Chino Hills is far away from
           Los Angeles. Fucking ignorant northerners. To be precise,

6/26    when the super collidor ends the earth's rotation, will the oceans
        still stick around or will they create the biggest world tsunami
        ever?
        \_ The oceans will synchronously and magically stop with the rest
           of the planet.  However, the black hole which is your brain
           will merge with the one created by the supercollider and pass

5/19    Picture of China earthquake site.

        I don't know what to say.  It's good if the China earthquake victims
        are drawing inspiration and encouragement from the Sep 11 victims.  I
        just hope that the flag wasn't planted by the Reuters journalist
        himself trying to get a Pulitzer Prize.

net Sent: Thursday, June 30, 2005 2:36 AM To: Peninsula Astronomical Society; San Mateo County Astronomical Society Subject: Tsunami talk Dear Friends: Although this is not about astronomy, it definitely is about planetary science. The Great Indian Ocean Earthquake and Tsunami of Christmas Day last year was the most destructive single natural disaster in all of recorded history. Ed Geist, Bruce Jaffe, and Brian Atwater of the US Geological Survey will be giving a free lecture on the geophysics of tsunamis today, Thursday, June 30 at 7:00PM at the USGS Menlo Park campus at 345 Middlefield Rd. A Having heard Mr Geist, in particular, speak about this subject at Lockheed, I can tell you that few people in the world know tsunamis as well as he does. This will be the ideal lecture for those who want to get past the undeniable carnage and tragedy to understand the science behind this phenomenon.
