Please, please not 2012. 2011, fine. 2013, even better, I'll get to be smug. But PLEASE NOT 2012, it'll just give all the pseudoscience wankers ammunition!
FEAR TEH ALMIGHTY MAYAN VOLCANO PREDICTIONNNNNNNNSSSSSSSS!!!
Personally I'll be making sure there's a few extra supplies. It's hash, but people go batshit over stupid things, and it never hurts to cover your arse.
Ugh, yeah, getting supplies would be a good idea. No, people, I'm not afraid of the world ending, I'm afraid of YOU doing a run on the shops and taking anything edible away!
Dude, have you seen the USGS earthquake tracker? XD (Here.) The usual shitload in California, Washington (Cascadia Subduction Zooooone!), Alaska (there was a 5.0 over in the Aleutians! And a 4.5 near Quincy in NorCal), and Hawaii... decent-sized ones in Pennsylvania and near Ottowa... and a big fuck-off cluster coming off Yellowstone Lake XD Looks AWESOME. Biggest so far has been a 3.9, that was on Sunday.
Yup, added another 20l of tank water to the list when I saw it :P (We already have filters, purification tablets, and a load of tanked water - combination of camping supplies and arse-covering when the shit finally hits the fan with our water situation)
If it goes all nuclear winter, or other cold extreme weather patterns, I think we're juuuuuuuuuuuuuuuust equatorial enough for survival. We won't be happy, and you can pretty much wave a fond farewell to luxury foods for a more temperate climate (bai bai grapies!) but we'd manage basic proteins and survive the cold change at least. Although of course anyone living in a basin can pretty much kiss their house and existence goodbye :P (as can everyone else once the starvation-driven invasions start and we begin eating each other)
Of course if it swings the other way and exacerbates the drought, then we're fucked beyond belief.
Ooh, nice little cluster in NorCal, here - two little ones in the last hour, too!
Damn. We only have a tank - on the plus side, we're actually in an area that gets heaps of rain, even with the drought. If the drought gets worse, though? Well, shit.

Louisa: "Eh. We'll be fine."
Me: "HAHAHAno."
I need a geology icon.
