Out Stocking Up On Water ... Back Later

Scientists worry about the effect of the Easter Sunday Border Quake.
Experts say the larger question is whether the temblor made quakes more likely along more dangerous fault lines, such as the Whittier — which produced the deadly 1987 Whittier Narrows quake — and the San Andreas.

Scientists are particularly interested in the Whittier fault because it's connected to the Elsinore and runs under heavily populated areas.
Bring on the destruction & horror already. The tension's more likely to kill us than any eventual earthquake.

Here's something:

A very rare brain infection that is usually fatal is caused by Naegleria fowleri, an ameba found in warm freshwater and soil worldwide.

That depends. Is Dunsinanity a recognized medical condition?

Brain-eating amoebas? That must explain the recent political trends in the warmer regions of the country.

Competition w/ the amoebae will strengthen the zombie sector.
