i believe i may have said this already in this thread, but mr. zevon's words bare repeating

I was sitting in the Hollywood Hawaiian Hotel
I was staring in my empty coffee cup
I was thinking that the gypsy wasn't lyin'
All the salty margaritas in Los Angeles
I'm gonna drink 'em up

And if California slides into the ocean
Like the mystics and statistics say it will
I predict this motel will be standing until I pay my bill

Looks like it isn't just California that is on the move, it's the entire coastline between the Pacific plate and the North American plate.

This is just today's activity:
