You know what worries me? All these earthquakes happening around the ring of fire in the last 20 years have been extremely bad! Some even causing tsunamis. It has been almost 30 years since San Francisco was struck. Think of all the pressure on the earth at that Fault line!!! That Earthquake will be HUGE!!! Hopefully it will not be offshore and cause a tsunami, because America is still untouched by one, meaning it will probably be unprepared for it. The San Francisco bay will only make it worse

Bet there was lots of barf mixed in with the yellow and dark brown trails on the deck of that boat.

So, about the boats that didn't get cronked, was it just luck, or placement in the harbour, or something? Just interested. =) Thanks for the video!
