Hmm, the very reason my son doesn't want to move to California. He's certain a volcano will suddenly erupt in downtown LA, wiping out half the west coast. Probably not possible, but that would make a good movie ;)

when you say erupt in downtown LA, the mental image I get is somewhere between a viagra overdose and a porn star convention... not of liquid hot magma

I'd say the problem is hot tar spewing orifices if I had to guess.

>>Firefighters were alerted at 3 a.m. by complaints of a sewer-like smell at an apartment house at 1220 S. Olive St. near Pico Boulevard, but found nothing.



>>They returned at 1 p.m. to find a Slimer-like ooze lurking beneath central Los Angeles.

>>"We were called back because there was a gooey substance, a tarry-type substance, coming out the underground electrical vaults, out of manhole covers in the street, through the sidewalks and possibly in one older apartment building," Myers said.



Desmond wanders aimlessly down the street, glasses askew.

^ big props, that is one of my FAVE movies. Too bad there was never a Ghostbusters III.

Fortunately, done of Desmond's tulips were consumed, by supernatural activity or otherwise.

I suppose as per normal drilling goes, back in the days of that old oilfield 'neath LA, they filled the space of the removed oil with water - so this latest drilling exercise could have breached that old water filled well (which prolly has plenty of left over sludge)? That combined with the weight of all the buildings is sort of like squeezing hair gel out of its bottle eh?
