Could perhaps settle the refugees in coastal cities of the Northwest as a consolation prize? States of Washington and Oregon will also shift toward a red map after the shake.
Parts between the coast and the Cascades appear to only get a fraction of an inch of rain per month during the summer. Is that your seasonal experience?
How many highly placed people have recently relocated from that area without a job transfer?
The last one came at night, as someone positioned on a hilltop heard a great noise after the shake, and watched the fires of a coastal village along the river suddenly go out. Passed down as local lore of the last great flood.
Uh, I need a beer.
Yes, Thank You.
How is the magnitude determined?
Beats me.
I know only the basics because I was based out of Silicon Valley, CA. and experienced quite a few tremors while there.
The most dramatic quake for me was actually here in Atlanta about 7 to 10 years ago. After the initial shaking the most incredible part was the unbelievable train-like roar that lasted several seconds. That part had me running for the exit as it was in the very wee hours.
So, just a question: What would the nation’s reaction be if FEMA and these agencies did not practice for a major natural disaster?
I participate in these drills as part of my Ham radio group. Five years ago we had a massive ice storm that cut off the western part of the state. Hospitals could not communicate out of my their area. Because we had drilled every month, getting our rigs up and in action took no time.
If you don’t want them practicing, I guess that’s OK. You and all of those around you will be on your own.

Jade Helm redux.
Get a few blog hits, rile up some LIVs, same as it ever was.
I have chuckle when I hear this. My personal experience with FEMA folks is that they are paperwork fiends. They are paranoid about their budgets and will argue for an hour over who has to pay for the coffee.
Trust me, they are not herding anyone, anywhere.
And...they need the practice.
Can’t argue with that. No matter how you slice it, 9.2 is huge, especially as you say subduction in the water.
Yes, it rains a lot more during the autumn and spring than more populated places. Summer is 5-7 degrees warmer and drier than say Seattle or Tacoma. The lack of the Olympic Mtns between the Pacific and the Cascades does not mean cooler ocean air. I guess that the E Washington deserts push the ocean air Westward more often than the reverse.
Thanks for posting this
Mommy whats a mud@#% ?
well landers was 7.2 in 1992 or so so thats one
You are welcome! Narrator has a great voice, doesn’t he? I had been seeing amateurish-looking ones on YouTube and wondered if they were accurate, but then I saw this.
