Who's falling in the water first? Cali or Florida?

[Supreme Kimone]

Was having a dumb conversation with a friend about cali being predicted to seep into the ocean. I then brought about Florida and how it sucks with Natural disasters as well being hurricanes, I know Louisiana has gotten the worse of it but wish so much swamp land in that area can't Florida/Louisiana fade away into the ocean first with ocean levels rising and ect?


Been away for a while, good to see same faces all around :sly:

[Mulambo]

I predict florida will win first place, but because of global warming, not a hurricane or earthquake.

[Corpse]

Better not be florida!
Cali will float with all the silicone its got in it.

Those floodwaters wouldn't dare while Schwarzenegger is governor,

Arnold will haul ass and leave them behind.

GET TO THE CHOPPA!

No, he'll be taking the choppa down to rescue ppl.

"GRAB MY HAND!!"

[alfaroverall]

The fact that Florida has so much wetlands indicates that it is lower in elevation than California, so I'm going to go with Florida. Also, its greatest distance from the ocean is less than that of California, so even if the floodwaters engulf them at the same rate in terms of distance, they'll have fully engulfed Florida long before they fully engulf California.

Fixed.

You forgot to add the impending WW3 into your calculation. With the dozens of nukes headed to Cali, the vaporization of that much water makes Cali unlikely to flood (baring a collapse into the sea).

[Uilamin]

Oceanianic water levels will rise by up to 7 meters (the lower end of the estimate is 1 meter) by 2100 while lakes and rivers will shrink most likely.

Now California is primarily a hilly landscape while Florida is rather flat. A rise in water level would cause destruction of some Cali landscape (especially in some lower ares by the water), but would primarily be rather untouched. Florida on the other hand, along with a lot of the SE US will be engulfed.

Green by the ocean = soon to be a part of the ocean.

Hey, I killed a lot of your guys in AoC :)

And Cali will be the first to fall off because it's on a big fault line

[lastpatagonian]

florida is much closer to sea lvl, but californias problem is the land itself, so many faultlines some say its a its only a matter of time before it cracks apart and falls into the ocean. I live in florida, and as this conversation is going on we have 3 hurricane/possible hurricanes on the way. and there are still towns having flood problems from the last storm. not that it will matter in 5-10 yrs florida will be one big condo, and if it sinks into the ocean then, good riddance

[Uzik]

Maybe we'll get lucky and both will fall in.

[tallefred]

Where's our poll? We need our poll.

[no-one]

Florida. California has mountains and will not go completely under Florida not so much.

[mordella]

I agree, let's hope they both go under together!

[Slypieguy]

One problem, those two states have more hot girls than the rest of the country combined

[Corpse]

That's what they want.
If they cant have them, NOONE CAN!

[Paralda]

Florida... has less mass.

NY women > Florida and CA


NYU has soo many hotties that it made me consider protesting and shit in college.

[Slypieguy]

NY women > Florida and CA


lol I knew one of you yanks would bite. Fucking fail.

The hotties on the beaches of Florida and CA put NY girls to shame any day. Also, they are less trashy

[Whoopin]

Hey, I killed a lot of your guys in AoC :)

Which server? Didnt see enough Darkfall players on Deathwhisper...

Florida easily.

I hope Florida sinks.

Learn how to vote, you stupid fucks.

Better to vote messily for the better party than consistently for the worse one :p

[Kuri]

Hope Florida sinks,..so I can suba dive to see sea world.

[Dazarthas]

Yes, because Bush was such a grand benefit to the country. :)

[Mulambo]

Yes, because Bush was such a grand benefit to the country. :)

ya, republicans are better because they vote against frivolous spending (unless it pertains to wars against ideas and other things that can never be defeated).

[Slypieguy]

better than not voting against any frivolous spending, including wars :sly:

[Slypieguy]

I'll take the failure that was Bush over what would have been the even more epic failure of Gore or Kerry

[Mulambo]

leik anyone could possibly know that. Anyway, I stand by my previous florida because of global warming vote.

[Carl Ragadamn]

leik anyone could possibly know that.

Dont cry because your party cant put up good candidates. Bush would not have had a second term if the dems had not put up autofail-Kerry.

[Phaethor]

Unfortunately Florida is a goner according to NASA JPL.

shut up, i'm a registered green.

[Slypieguy]

lolz, mckinney ftw?

[Mulambo]

lolz, mckinney ftw?

ftl probably, and I haven't decided who i'm voting for yet. but it will probably be her.

[losinglife]

eh they both suck. But i hope cali goes first.

[Malhavok]

Considering the highest point in the Continental United States is in California, I'd have to go ahead and say Florida. The rest of you will be submerged long before California goes completely under.

Not if it is nuked flat...

[Everto]

Those floodwaters wouldn't dare while Schwarzenegger is governor,

Just need us some Chuck Norris now.

[Malhavok]

Not if it is nuked flat...

Yah, but it'd take every nuke in the world to do that. You could take a shovel and flatten Florida in a week.

[trichlor]

California due to a technicality. Florida wont fall in the water due to tectonic shifts, it'll get flooded and washed away by hurricanes and Global Warming.

[DeathByCactus]

Cali... Sooner or later terrorists are going to nuke the land side border, triggering a massive earthquake that will shake the state loose from the US. At which point one of two things will happen.

A) Beach front property.
B) Radiation will completetly and utterly destroy both coast lines and Cali will become a new massive penetentury for criminals and terrorists...

Or both may occur... Which will lead to mutated criminals/terrorists fighting over radiated beach front property.

I saw a documentary about this. I think it was called escape from LA.

There was another documentary too.... it was the first Superman. Only Forumfall ate Superman so, they are fucked.

"GET IN DA CHOPPAHHH"

Re-worked.

[Carl Ragadamn]

Ah but the one you are thinking of was all Michael Moore'd up. Escape from LA was a much less biased documentary, since it was done by the same people who did that one about Manhattan being full of criminals. I think the title was Escape from New York (I know I have wanted to escape each time I had to go there).

[slayerdp]

Florida... pretty sure cali will just be an island pretty soon tho

[Carl Ragadamn]

If it becomes an island will its base be strong enough to hold up the ego's of the populace?

That documentary was good too :)

word to that noise

[Spineless_DoO]

Nothing good comes out of Cali aside from fags and stupid laws. Everyone is up in your buisness in that state. At least in Florida nobody bothers you. Oh and Florida doesnt have super dirty shit beaches like Cali. I can never figure out why anyone vacations in Cali. Bad beaches, insane prices, assholes all over the place and some of the most anti freedom laws in the country.

[Supreme Kimone]

Hey, I killed a lot of your guys in AoC :)

And Cali will be the first to fall off because it's on a big fault line

I wasn't there tried but my computer wasn't happy with it till it got a certain patch, and I just haven't got on. Who were you in game and who you kill? I know the guild opened its doors to some WoWers for AoC that some DoKs, encounterd on that horrid journey.

[Dirty l3um]

i live in florida.... and whoever said globabl warming made me laugh because when i first moved here 7 years ago, the summer temperatures where i live were hotter.... this year was fairly bearable, i dont think it got over 100 degrees once. i remember summer of 2000 it was over 100 for like 8 days in a row. wow that was murder

back on topic...

i think california will as retribution for all of the debauchery. karma sucks

[Darkrabbit18]

This conversation reminds me of the fictional film 'Waterworld'

Looks like it's slowly coming to be just that eh? :lmao:

[BladeSLicer]

We need to find a way to cause some global cooling imo. More beach front property.. Canada getting frozen out of house and home.. Win win!

I was thinking the same, California will have the random bit of land because of its mountains, and florida will have its underwater cities

[Dazarthas]

Florida would probably sink first. I'm actually hoping this happens in my lifetime, because I despise Floridians for being too stupid to count votes.

[Barbarossa]

No poll?

Fail.

its not my fault half of floridas population cant read english...

[Titus Ultor]

I used to get sort of offended at the rage at California in these forums, but now I'm kind of flattered by how much anger my little state gets.

[Gloomrender]

Poll would be cool.

Definitely Florida.

[Ezion]

Florida, for all the previously mentioned reasons.
Though I'd rather see California go first.
