Waiting... For Bad

America is a vast landscape! This country sees all kind of natural disasters from one end to another!

Florida & places near the Atlantic are always hit with hurricanes! North from there, meets with heavy rains, floods & feets of snows. Equally the states of mid-west like Ohio, Michigan gets all snow. Coming down, Oklahoma goes with those Huge Twisters! And coming to the west end and above it, Earth Quakes & Volcanos (Yellow Stone).

I'm kind of closer to the Earth Quake prone area, where once in a while, I feel the jolt, the machines dancing in my office! I guess, have seen Tsunami warnings one or two times last year! Well, the tectonic plates north of me have always been on the move but haven't been that devastating like the 1906 San Francisco quake! But, when I saw this news, I feel like... when is this disaster going to be? Not really something good to foresee! The San Andreas Fault is waiting to explode (Pic from Berkeley.Edu)!

We'll wait! New Orleans met with the worst disaster last year with Katrina, but still they have rebuilt the whole city and the Mardi Gras celebrations went on very well this year! And yet again, they have started waiting for this year's hurricane season! When everyone waits for the yearly seasons, we in this side of the country wait everyday:(!

San Andrean Fualt threatens the entire west coast... the region in middle is the best...

i hope billoo that u get in MIT but i dunno one thing, why are Indians so much fascinated about studying abroad. IIT is the best for Indians. My aim is IIT. why MIT? it might be the world best but IIT is no way inferior. on top of that, i wanna be in India. its good going out on a vacation but settling abroad, naa. IIT has superb placement. then why MIT?
