Earthquakes are one of the deadliest disasters known to man. They can trigger tsunami's that can wipe out entire villages. Roads can crack, bridges can break, buildings can fall, people die by the thousands. 115,756 people died in 2004 just from earthquakes. Over and out!

It has fallen into the San Andreas fault and is causing random earthquakes. You have exactly 10 minutes and 18 seconds until the next earthquake... GET TO WORK! (this message will self-destruct in 10 seconds) |
