Scientist have done it again. Just when I can breath a sigh of relief that all is well in Choopie's world, there is another scary study. Now analysts of recent earthquake activity around New York City has found that many small faults that were believed to be inactive could contribute to a major, disastrous earthquake. (That is straight from the real news, not Fate magazine). The same study also found that there is a big line of activity 2 miles from a nuclear power plant, 25 miles from NYC. There is already another fault near there, and the 2 intersect. That means that a few smaller intersecting faults are more dangerous then one big one. The quakes jump from one fault to the next. It's like having a family of faults, and that can contribute to really HUGE earthquakes. Over the past 330 years, there have been 383 known quakes in NYC, with the biggest a 5.0 magnitude. When this one goes, it's going to be way worse. My family better start practicing our earthquake emergency plan. We all could hide under Chips big belly and be shielded from falling debris. I better keep letting her finish my food so she stays nice and fat.
