Yes, it CAN! The "Big One" CAN strike California by morning and kill hundreds of thousands. Then there is Yellowstone. You know that Yellowstone is a massive, active volcano that will erupt...sometime.
well, that would be a fine analogy, if you could add in the fact that we feel like they are about to erupt in the next few months. In which case there would be mass evacuations, right? Mass effort to shelter the millions of displaced people... right?
I mean, we can keep going with this analogy all night.
