- UCLA Geophysicist Warns 6.4 Quake To Hit LA By Sept 5
A US geophysicist has set the scientific world ablaze by claiming to have cracked a holy grail: accurate earthquake prediction, and warning that a big one will hit southern California by Sept 5.
The team at UCLA's Institute of Geophysics and Planetary Physics accurately predicted a 6.5-magnitude quake in central California last December as well as an 8.1-magnitude temblor that struck the Japanese island of Hokkaido in September.

do you think a massive earthquake down here will spark renewed interest in 'escape from l.a.'?

Considering the fact that I went through the Northridge quake ten years ago and the fact that its epicenter was a mere five miles away from me, this prediction doesn't faze me one bit. :P

They're not talking about "The Big Red One" are they? With Mark Hamill as the pacifist sharp-shooter?
