Tampa, Floriida today to announce $1.25B in high-speed-rail funding

Yup - potential disasters abound. One of the Azores could have a massive landslide and generate 50 ft tsunamis all up and down the east coast. Charleston is a bad earthquake zone as is the midwest (New Madrid fault) which generated three 8.0's in the early 1800's. The ultinmate is the Yellowstone super volcano. Goes boom every 600,000 years. Last went boom 640,000 years ago (can't say I like that math). If it goes boom there will nothing left alive west of the Mississippi River.

Only place on earth with constant weather and none of the above is the south pole (not quite as nice as South Florida, lol).

Nope (not yet). I watch the history channel and the discovery channel, etc. 2012 is a great movie I'm sure and I'm looking foreward to watching it but I perfer my science based on reality instead of some Nostradamus based magical mystery tour. Yes the Mayan Calendars current cycle ends in 2012 but everyone seems to forget the cycle then starts all over again. Our calendar does every January 1 at 00:00:01, lol.
