The west coast of the USA is about to fall off – Lex Luthor style

Lex Luthor: Now, call me foolish, call me irresponsible, but it occurs to me that a 500 megaton bomb planted at just the proper point would, uh…
Superman: Would destroy most of California. Millions of innocent people would be killed. The west coast as we know it would…
Lex Luthor: Fall into the sea.
Lex Luthor: Bye-bye, California. Hello, new west coast. My west coast.
Lex Luthor: Costa Del Lex. Luthorville. Marina del Lex.

Lex may have just gotten his way with the Cascadia Subduction Zone, a subduction zone that stretches from Northern “Vancouver Island” to “Northern California”.

An interesting little footnote on Wikipedia states there is a 37% risk of a 9 (or higher) earthquake along the entire west coast of the USA within the next 50 years!

My advice? Buy Nevada BUY!!!!
