'Wall to wall' San Andreas quake overdue

Sun, 10/10/2010 - 22:19 by Prince damin

Los Angeles -- Some U.S. seismologists are increasingly alarmed at the potential of an earthquake occurring along the entire length of California's San Andreas fault.

The San Andreas has long been considered one of the most dangerous faults in the state; however recent research has some experts fearing a future major quake could occur along its entire 340-mile length.

"My concern is that we will get a series of large earthquakes along the San Andreas fault," said Thomas Jordan, director of the Southern California Earthquake Center.

Jordan told the Los Angeles Times the quakes could include a devastating 8.1 shaker and could run "wall to wall" from Monterey to the Salton Sea near the Mexican border.

High fall tides soak Florida

Fri, 08/10/2010 - 10:33 by Prince damin

Fort Lauderdale, Fla. -- Higher than normal tides driven by the forces of the moon and high winds are hitting South Florida's coast, along with dangerous rip currents, officials say.

Water levels are rising along seawalls, docks and canal banks this week as the tides reach their fall peak, the South Florida Sun-Sentinel reported Thursday. Ankle-deep water flowed over a section of a Fort Lauderdale boulevard and an inch of water covered parts of a state highway near Hollywood, the newspaper said.

Low-lying areas were expected to be vulnerable to similar soakings as high tides will persist through Friday, forecasters said.

Stiff onshore breezes, coupled with the gravitational pull from a new moon, are the culprits, they say.

Spiders infesting Florida parks

Fort Lauderdale, Fla. -- A Florida bug expert says banana spiders up to 4 inches long, common in the state's parks and recreational areas, aren't dangerous, but are nutritious.

The spiders are native to the southeast and tropics, and are most prominent in late summer and early fall, the South Florida Sun-Sentinel said Saturday.

"They are worth their weight in gold in the number of insect pests they consume," said Clive Pinnock, manager of the Okeeheelee Nature Center. He said they feed on mosquitoes and other insects that plague summertime visitors.

Beyond consuming mosquitoes, the spiders have another benefit.

Experts: Calif. beach slime not dangerous

Wed, 28/07/2010 - 09:16 by Prince damin

Santa Ana, Calif. -- Experts said they have not identified the slimy, neon-green substance seen floating at some California beaches, but they do not believe it is harmful.

Larry Honeybourne, program manager for the Orange County Health Care Agency, said the substance, which has been reported at beaches between Seal Beach and Lowers, has yet to be identified, but testing found no signs of bacterial contamination and no illnesses have yet been attributed to it, The Orange County Register reported Tuesday.

Some experts told the Long Beach Press Telegram the substance may be a bright-green algal bloom caused by rising temperatures in the water. However, local surfers and lifeguards said the substance is unlike any algae they have seen in past years.
