You may have something there. Remember the “practice” they had in Texas not so long ago?
We know that at some time the world as we know it will end by some disaster. The New Madrid fault line is not a good place to be either. And that’s where I live Hope nothing happens for at least another several thousand years particularly of this magnitude.
Prayers up to pray for our country and a return of righteousness to the USA. God has blessed us all to be in this country.
Forget the quake. The tsunami will wipe out the northwest.
No worries, Bill Gates will rebuild the region.
Chicxulub shoved debris about 250 miles up the Brasos river in Texas.
It is funny that they are preparing to deal with the effects of a magnitude 9.0 earthquake along the Cascadia Subduction Zone, because that is precisely the size of earthquake that I warned about in an article back in March.
Everyone in the Northwest knows about this possibility so is only normal to try to prepare for it.
It's not clear that the tsunami would affect millions of people. Large parts of the Oregon and Washington coast are not heavily populated. Portland is over 50 miles inland as the crow flies and further inland along the Columbia River. Parts of Seattle and Tacoma are at sea level, but other parts are quite far above the water. Also both these cities are on Puget Sound rather than directly on the Pacific Coast. Parts of Vancouver BC are at low elevation but Vancouver is also behind Vancouver Island.
See #48.
I wonder why this is suddenly getting so much play. There was an article about it a couple of month’s ago in Reader’s Digest. I had never heard of it. And suddenly, it’s brought to my attention three times in a couple of months. And it’s a huge deal.
Placemark.
BTW do you have the M.A. and H.A. ping lists?
The West of I-5 is not all about the tsunami. We will have no roads, no bridges, no electricity, no water and collapsed buildings just from the shakes. There will be many, many landslides. The gas you have in your tank is it, even if you are East of I-5 in the valley. Food is what you have in storage.
I’m not going to worry until Morgan Freeman comes on the TV and says it’s coming.
I too live within a couple miles of I-5 on the west side just north of Seattle. My current elevation is about 460 feet above mean sea level. The problem with an earthquake that size is that certain areas of the Puget Sound will change in elevation. The entire reason that the earthquake in 1700 was discovered was because of a sandbar in the San Jaun’s that had a couple of hundred dead trees below the water line that were obviously a few hundred years old and not a salt-water variety. They came from the tree-line that was a couple of hundred feet above the channel. They were moved from up in the air to below the water line in a matter of seconds as the ground buckled under and shifted west. So your altitude may not matter.
I live on the Oregon Coast and have been following the Cascadia Fault earth quake information closely for years.
He’s under playing the details. Check out the video in post #6
From studies of the Indonesian quake and the big Japanese quake scientists keep upping the damage predictions from what they originally thought.
The Japanese government did. They got walloped with a huge tsunami and recorded quite a bit of information about it. It was in more recent times that American geologists compared notes with the Japanese.
Question: After the past decade, do you trust the government?
They have very accurate records of that quake to the day and hour it happened. The Japanese recorded the time of the tele tsunami when it hit them. Scientist just back tracked to how long it would take to go transpacific. Geological studies showed the results of the near tsunami in Washington State.
Sure you can trust the government, just ask an Indian.
