With less than four days to go, it's after 1800, I've given up on green bananas. I'm starting to note the location of high voltage power lines and air traffic. Pulled through power lines and into a jet engine on the way up might smart. Better to avoid the overhead hazards.

I am so going to go out and max out my charge cards if this is real.

I heard him on the radio and apparently he's quite concerned with the time zones. He says 5:59pm EST is the beginning of the end.

My understanding is that it begins at 6 PM PDT, on the left coast with a horrendous earthquake, repeated in successive time zones. If correct, that means that you and yours, BPJ, will be the last to feel the effects.
