With the 18th being one day away, I think that it's time to bump this thread.
According to the
site the OP posted, over 9.3 million people in California (out of an estimated overall population
of
37.7 million) will be participating in this earthquake drill with over 14 million people in the US participating in
total.
According to the same site, the drill is supposed to happen on 10/18/2012 at 10:18 am PST (numerology, anyone? ¬_¬), and according to
this flyer (in PDF form), the simulated earthquake is
supposed to be a 7.8 on the Southern San Andreas Fault.
Also, the highly debunked Timewave Zero shows an interesting coincidence on the 18th. Timewave Zero repeats itself over and over again over time.
According to
this YouTube video, the point on the graph on the 18th is at the same place as it
was on September 11th, 2012. This date is mentioned in the
Timewave Zero thread itself
(recently right
here if you have the default ATS page settings).
Finally, it is widely known that there were drills running on
9/11/01 (9/11 Twin Tower attacks),
7/7/05 (London bombings), and
3/20/12
(earthquake drills in Mexico), so the possibility of the drill going live does indeed exist.
At least we don't have long to wait.
