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.

Does anybody actually know any of the people that believe this? Can't say I know anybody who would even come close to admitting a belief like this. And if they hide their belief, do they truely believe it themselves?

In the very long run we are, assuming we don't flee the scene, doomed:

The good news is that we have a few years, most of a billion, to figure out what to do and how to do it.

To all the posters in Aussieland or Kiwiland. According to the dude with the calculator, it's all supposed to start at at 6pm local - don't kow if he figured for DST or not - regardless - it will hit y'all first.

So, if you notice people disapearing in a cloud of smoke, or flying into the sky, or whatever, please post here so the rest of us can act accordingly.

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.
