An under sea 3.5 Temblor strikes west coast San Fransisco. The 3.5 temblor strikes at 7:47 am today in San Francisco Bay, about three miles west-northwest of the San Francisco Zoon. The earthquake that has struck just off the coast of San Francisco is a minor type. The quake began on the San Andreas fault.
In its history, San Fransisco already experience greater earthquake before. The San Francisco earthquake of 1906 was a major earthquake that struck San Francisco, California, and the coast of Northern California. It struck at 5:12 a.m on Wednesday, April 18, 1906. The most widely accepted estimate for the magnitude of the earthquake is a moment magnitude (Mw) of 7.9. However, other values have been proposed, from 7.7 to as high as 8.25.
Over the long run, earthquakes and shifting fault lines remake the planet. The slip-sliding motion of the San Andreas fault causes San Francisco to move toward Los Angeles at the rate of about 2 inches a year.

Pet Stores
Pet Stores, Save or Not?
“Help protect your pets from dangerous chemicals!” That is the first line warning sentence as written by Scott Shaffer from Organic Authority.com. Here is the summary:
“Research shows that many flea collars for sale at major pet stores contain chemicals known to cause cancer and neurological damage to humans and pets. Luckily, there’s a nation-wide consumer-led movement underway to get PETCO and PetSmart to pull these dangerous products off their shelves. The Natural Resource Defense Council has a request for all pet-owners: go to your nearest PetSmart or PETCO and see if they’re selling flea collars with propuxor or tetrachlorvinphos. NRDC has typed up a handy check-list with all the products to look for. All they need from you is 15 minutes of your time and an email to greenpaws@nrdc.org with the information you gathered.
So here’s your chance to become civically engaged! If you own a pet, care about pets, or just care about reducing the toxic chemicals floating around your neighborhood, please check out your local pet store and send a letter to the heads of the companies and ask them not to sell dangerous chemicals at their stores.”
Here’s the list of the products you should avoid:
