A few years ago there was this neat made-for-tv movie on called 10.5. In the opening scene a 7 point earthquake hits Seattle and the Space Needle comes crashing down. Who couldn't like a movie starting out like that?! It continues to have progressively worse earthquakes going south on the West coast until the final scene when a 10.5 earthquake hits LA, demolishes it, and makes Nevada a part of the West coastline. The last picture of the movie is AWESOME because it pans back on the Southwest US with a huge chunck out of southern CA.
I was flipping through the channels last Saturday night trying to find something decent to watch and lo and behold I find a sequel to 10.5. It starts immediately after the first movie left off. In fact the first scene is an edited version of the last scene of 10.5. This time they find weird seismological phenomena hitting in random places. First Mt. St. Helens erupts, then there is a strange earthquake/eruption in Idaho and Las Vegas falls into a giant sinkhole. In the end they discover a dormant fault line in the central US which eventually splits the United States in half. The end scene of this one pans back from central US with water from the Gulf of Mexico filling in the fault crack and spliting the country in two while the presidents talks about how even though we are on seperate land masses, we are still one country. Awwwe. It's cheezy as hell, but Dean Cain is in this one and you gotta love mass distruction of America! I wonder what natural disaster they will come up with next--maybe they can wipe out the East Coast!!!
