Fox News is now reporting ,1020 EDT:
1. Truck drivers are reported to be protesting the cost of fuel today. The plan reported by FOX is to shut down roads in and around DC. If you travel near DC today expect delays. My wife is traveling from DE to Shen Valley later today. I am sending her South on 301 which runs N-S East of the 495 Beltway, then East of I-95 thru Va right thru Ft. AP Hill.
2. USGS is predicting strong earthquake within the next 24 hrs near Reno, Nevada. Fox goes on to report that a 6.0 would not suprise the USGS. Folks around Reno have been advised to evacuate!

Are they getting that good at predicting earthquakes? or are they getting to do a Test?:D
Fox News is now reporting...USGS is predicting strong earthquake within the next 24 hrs near Reno, Nevada. Fox goes on to report that a 6.0 would not suprise the USGS. Folks around Reno have been advised to evacuate!Interesting...I live 30 miles SE of Reno and work in SE Reno...no evacuation order has been pronounced, to my knowledge...I work for a civil engineering firm and we tend to keep up with stuff like that...we have had a series of tremblers in the area over the last couple months, beginning, most notably, after the 6.5 quake hit Wells in February...anyone living near the Sierra Nevada should be aware of the probability of an earthquake, but I am not convinced that USGS or anyone else can predict a seismic event with a 24 hour time frame...certainly, the swarm of minor quakes we've had is indicative of activity, but the geologists I work with (and I have a degree in Geology, as well) are divided as to whether it's an indicator of an impending big one or if these small quakes are releaving stress that might cause the big one...
I'll check back in tomorrow...maybe..

SF BHT,
I guess well see. I've never heard of a prediction like this outside of volcanic predictions. From what FOX related, it was not a test.
lksteve,
FOX news broadcast a "Reno" resident relating that there were TV/Media broadcasts suggesting evac. I'm not there. As with the DC traffic, all I know is what I hear, FOX News is usually prettry accurate. I believe you over news broadcasts!
Thanks guys.
Stay safe!
FOX news broadcast a "Reno" resident relating that there were TV/Media broadcasts suggesting evac. I'm not there. Well, if we evacuated, I feel cheated...I've been at work since 0630 PDT and didn't get to go home...there was a 4.2 this morning at 0-dark early (0433 PDT, to be exact) and there were a total of 3 in the 24 hour period ending at 10 PDT today...the range was 2.5 to 4.2 on the Richter scale...very consistent with recent seismic activity, and truth be told, it could be indicative of something more substantial...that said, if you go to the USGS website, you will notice that there is no link for "Earthquake Predictions"...you can report seismic activity on their website, you can view recent seismic activity, but if you want an earthquake prediction, you need a Oueja board, tarot cards and a coffee can full of chicken guts...scientifically speaking, that is....:D

I get USGS realtime postings, and you are right; their site is a history lesson. It is nearly unheard of for USGS to " predict" quakes, in fact I've never heard of it before. USGS has a neat Google Earth interface that takes some time to load, but worth the wait.
If you were less valuable, "they" might let you know of an evac.

Tornado just went through Suffolk, Virginia.

Dan,
AP reporting 3 tornados confirmed by NWS. Suffolk tornado described as " major". No reports of fatalities...200 injured...Community Hosp in Driver damaged but continued to treat patients.

Strange that there was an earthquake conference going on in Seattle at the time all this has occurred....:munchin

Source: Nevada "Earthquakes" Part of Classified Government Operation
RENO (AP) — As USGS scientists warned residents to prepare for a bigger seismic event, federal government sources have revealed that the two-month-long series of tremors rattling western Nevada's largest city are part of a secret Department of Defense project.
"They are drilling and blowing gargantuan subterranean cavities for the placement of massive amounts of sub- atomic munitions," says a high-ranking defense department source, who spoke on condition of anonymity out of fear he would be prosecuted for disclosing classified information of grave importance to U.S. national security.
The tunnels, more than a mile beneath Reno, extend nearly 100-miles southwest under the California border and reach to within about 30-miles of San Francisco, says the source.
A spokesman for the Department of Defense was granted authorization to confirm the project and the existence of the tunnels.
"This is part of a classified program to manually secede San Francisco from the Union. Basically, we're going to blow the entire city into the Pacific using Iranian-manufactured explosives captured in Iraq," said the spokesman. "We're calling it an Explosively Formed Purge."
Democrat National Committee officials have expressed concerns that the Pentagon project will eliminate a sizable portion of its California voting base before the upcoming general election and thus create an unfair disadvantage to anti-American voters.
Meanwhile, San Francisco-based activists worried about the environmental impact of the government plan.
"If the military goes through with this, millions of sea creatures will die," says Suzie Mustafa-Cortez, director of USOUT, a professional protest organization opposed to the United States' presence in North America.
In a statement, the Pentagon responded to environmental concerns, saying "It's a small price to pay to remove that cancerous growth and prevent it from further contaminating the rest of the country."
Next month, large barriers are set to be erected to prevent Code Pink members and millions of other radical anti- American activists from leaving the city before the explosive purge. Federal officials have assured California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger that "normal people" will be checked for signs of contamination and allowed to leave the "Designated Moonbat Zone" if tests show they are free of infection.
The test, dubbed the Liberal Identification Battery or 'LIB', will entail a series of verbal questions developed by psychiatrists which evacuees must answer before being allowed to leave, such as "True or False: The United States military is a force for Good."
Officials say body language experts will be on hand observing evacuees for signs of deception. Activists attempting to defeat the testing and escape the city will be forcibly repatriated to the DMZ.
The Pentagon says the California governor approved the plan "whole-heartedly" and even requested to "push the button" that will initiate the detonation.
Governor Schwarzenegger's office did not return outraged Associated Press calls demanding comment. Several AP reporters were later detained by military authorities for LIB testing.

TS,
At last.... a plan!
I knew I should have sought out that InvenTech commercials advice on obtaining a patent before someone else steals your idea!!
Damn Tesla machines must've been brought back........maybe the Terminator prophecy is coming true, and Zombie hordes are there since they are checking for the infected. :p
I love a good spin

This is a great development! Now, the Suzie's at USOUT will have all the more reason to get the hell out of America. They can take up shelter in a more hospitable environment...like, Afganistan! Yes, that is where all members of this group should live...in harmony...and at One with nature...the nature of Sharia law...but, ahh, nature.:rolleyes:
