Not all elephants get high. These smart animals followed their instincts to circle the wagons and protect the young of the herd in response to a natural temblor rocking the United Mexican States (Mexico) and former-Mexico (now calling itself the USA) north of the border in and around San Diego. Even the rockers rocking Coachella felt it, and they definitely were getting high.
Elephants form protective circle amid California earthquake
(TODAY) April 15, 2025: People across Southern California were jolted by a 5.2 magnitude earthquake in San Diego County Monday morning that was felt from Mexico to Los Angeles. Video from the San Diego Safari Zoo shows a herd of elephants instinctively forming a circle around their young to protect them from threats. NBC’s Liz Kreutz reports for TODAY.

San Andreas fault's weird behavior: The Big One might be close
(Insane Curiosity) Sept. 13, 2024: The San Andreas fault is one of the largest and most important geological faults in the world. Throughout history, it has been the origin of earthquakes that have caused much destruction and have claimed the lives of thousands of people from San Francisco to Los Angeles.
Today, this crack exhibits unusual activity, which some scientists think could indicate the dreaded "Big One" will occur soon. Where and when could this event occur? Let's find out!
00:00 Introduction
00:20 What is the San Andreas fault, and how did it originate?
3:04 Why is this geological fault dangerous?
4:18 Past earthquakes due to the San Andreas fault
7:40 When and where will The Big One take place?
10:38 How to prepare before this happens
What is the San Andreas fault, and how did it originate?
There will be a lot more gold nuggets afterward
This fault is one of the world's most prominent and studied geological features. Why is this geological fault dangerous? The San Andreas fault's influence on California's seismic activity is not limited to the region directly adjacent to it. It is part of a more extensive, complex system of geological faults running through California.
Past earthquakes due to the San Andreas fault
Throughout California's history, the San Andreas fault has been responsible for several major earthquakes, some of which have caused considerable devastation. The deadliest so far was:
The 1906 San Francisco earthquake: This shaker occurred on April 18 of that year with an estimated magnitude of 7.9 on the Richter scale.
When and where will The Big One take place?
The region's geological history, combined with the patterns of seismic activity observed in the past, suggests that it is only a matter of time before the San Andreas fault produces another earthquake of great magnitude.
It was about 9:00 pm when the road started shaking, the feeling of a semitruck driving by on a bridge. The road bounced and wobbled like a plastic track. The car wasn't moving, but the shocks were bouncing. The radio soon confirmed what was happening as talk radio hosts at the station were all atwitter talking about the rumbling and aftershocks. It seems this quake lasted 30 seconds, coming on the tale of another recent set of shakers. Now there's a chance of a bigger temblor hitting in the next week. Could it have been Kamala's earthshaking news? Hooray for Tim Walz! Maybe it's the way the Supreme Court refused to delay Trump's sentencing, leaving the case in anti-Trump Judge Juan Marchan, who Trump insulted all trial long. Could there be a price to pay now, maybe a little jail time to cool his heels?
Magnitude 4.9 earthquake shakes Southern California
(KTLA 5) July 29, 2024: A magnitude 4.9 earthquake followed by several strong aftershocks were felt across Southern California early Monday afternoon. Vegan Deborah Marks was live in Burbank on KFI 640 AM (iheart.com) when it hit. As a lot of people know Los Angeles has a lot of smog due to its unique basin configuration, which has been holding in smoke since the time this was Tovaangar, the home of the original inhabitants, the Tongva tribe, now called the Kizh. In ancient times smoke from home fires used to create haze and be held in from onshore breezes and Santa Ana winds.
When people ask, "Why does LA have so much smog," even though it may be the foothills acting like a cup, people still answer, "So God can't see what they're doing down there." Now if the Earth is shaking, do Natives and others ask the same thing? "What gotten into the Great Spirit? We must reform ourselves to see a reformed world. The external very much reacts to the internal of a great number of us, a point which the Buddha repeatedly makes in the Agganna Sutta or the Discourse on Beginnings, a kind of Buddhist Genesis account. KTLA's Shelby Nelson reports on July 29, 2024.

Why recent unusual activities in the San Andreas Fault could trigger a major California earthquake
(Insane Curiosity) July 24, 2024: In the heart of California, a geological time bomb is ticking, and here is where it gets really terrifying. The San Andreas Fault, which spans 1200 km across California, serves as the state's tectonic backbone.
For more than a century, this fault has silently accumulated energy, waiting for the right moment to unleash its fury. The Pacific and North American plates are locked, causing stress with each passing instant. When the fault eventually ruptures, California will be hit by a massive earthquake, leaving a trail of devastation in its wake.
The scary truth is that this disaster is not a distant threat; it is an impending reality that will occur during our lives. Recent seismic activity in the Parkfield region has scientists concerned that a large earthquake, possibly on the scale of the deadly 7.9 magnitude quake that demolished San Francisco in 1906, is approaching.
What exact seismic events or patterns have been observed in the Parkfield region? Can anything realistically reduce the chance of a 1906 scale earthquake? The answers maybe more horrifying than you could have imagine. #insanecuriosity #earthquake #sanandreasfault
Earthquake rocks Taiwan; sets off Tsunami warnings for nearby Japanese islands
(FOX 11 Los Angeles) April 2, 2024: A 7.5-magnitude earthquake rocks Taiwan and is setting off tsunami warnings across parts of East Asia. Subscribe to FOX 11 on YouTube: youtube.com/channel...UPDATE: There has already been an aftershock measuring 6.5. Japan is on alert for tsunami, but the US West Coast has not yet been put on alert.
(Bloomberg Television) April 2, 2024: A tsunami warning has been issued after an earthquake shook buildings in Taipei, the capital of Taiwan [a quasi-independent Buddhist island off the coast of China claimed by China and protected by the USA because it is the world's computer microchip manufacturing center upon which the world's technology runs along the southern end of the chain of islands that is the country of Japan], at about 7:58 am local Taiwan time Wednesday morning [4:58 pm Tuesday California time]. The temblor measured 7.4 (some reports say 7.5, which would make it ten times stronger) in magnitude, according to the US Geological Survey. Paul Allen reports.

LYRICS: "Tattva" (by Kula Shaker) Tattva,achintya bheda abheda tattva/ Like the flower and the scent of summer/ Like the sun and the shine/ Well the truth may come in strange disguises/ Send a message to your mind/ (Chorus)/ At the moment that you wake from sleeping/ And you know it's all a dream/ Well the truth may come in strange disguises/ Never knowing what it means/ (Chorus)/ For you shall be tomorrow/ Like you have been today/ If this was never ending/ What more can you say?
MEANING: “Tattva” depicts a deep and mystical understanding of a central Vedantic Hindu concept called tattva in Sanskrit, which can be translated as “thatness” [or “suchness”].
This track was first released in the UK on January 1, 1996 as “Tattva (Lucky 13 Mix)” then reissued on June 24th as a re-recording on Kula Shaker's album K with a different sleeve and track listing. It reached #4 on the UK Singles Chart and #10 on the Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart in the USA.
Pink Floyd’s riffs from “Shine On You Crazy Diamond” were sampled on the track but not credited (Genius).
(Kula Shaker) A quarter century ago, this was the official video for "Tattva," taken from the debut album K by British rock group Kula Shaker under the heavy influence of Mother India. They returned in 2016 with a new album and a European tour (kulashaker.co.uk). Music videos by Kula Shaker performing (C) 1996 Sony Music Entertainment (UK) Ltd.
The promise of awesome worship, that’s what got me to a Planetshakers meeting. And I wasn’t disappointed. They said awesome 20 times. Planetshakers is a mega-church, which is like a spiritual mega-meal deal: Pizza, Coke, chocolate bavarian. If we could masticate it for you and pump it into your stomach, we would.
PHOTOS: Generic non-Christian US concert crowd and show
Because we love you, and so does Jesus. Standing outside Planetshakers surrounded by chirpy, bogan-cool teenagers fizzing with excitement, one of the two gay Atheist friends I was with described the crowd as "very Australian Idol." It was the first time I’d been excited about going to church. I spent every Sunday of my first 18 years sitting on wooden pews listening to a bloke talking about his imaginary friend in the sky who did magic tricks.
Women were virgins, saints, or whores. Men were the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Outside Planetshakers it felt as if we were about to see a rock concert. And we were. As the band fired up and went off like a frog in a sock, I thought: "I don’t care what they’re selling, but I’m buying it." Christian pop, ’80s power anthems, Metallica-meets-Cheap Trick.
A mosh pit for Jesus was jumping with teenagers in rapture and a balcony of Planetkids went off for Christ. Music blared from the stadium sound system while the screen seduced us with slick videos edited so fast the phrase "subliminal image" kept popping into my head. More>>
