OH NO! A Tsunami!!!!!

Am I the only one sick of hearing news anchors ask so-called experts if we could have a tsunami here?

It actually looks like that most of the time. The pacific NW is always having a quake.

20 miles down is pretty deep, isn't it? So no-one should be able to feel it?

We really don't want that.

Not to mention a whole lot of RED area in the Central Valley.

"tens of millions of years"

And your data to support that supposition is .....????

Well .. I only watch the Pacific Rim - because I live in that area.

If you have evidence which you can produce that says that 200 earthquakes in a year for the Pacific Rim is not unusual - please produce it!

Well, the Pacific in roughly this configuration we see today with similar subduction zones and faults has been around for tens of millions of years.

Earthquake activity in 2004 was basically completely normal, even a bit below normal for major quakes, and most world quakes are always in the Pacific rim.

Hence, it's a pretty safe assumption that this year's Pacific Rim quake activity has been going on for tens of millions of years.

Indeed! My ONE complaint here on FR.

Oh, darn!

The much awaited "pole shift" isn't any nearer.

Ever looked on Drudge quake sheet? Probably have had 200 in the last month in CA. Most are never felt. This would be a good time for you to get better informed about earthquakes. Check out the USGS.

It's YOUR responsibility to prove it's unusual, not my responsibility to prove it isn't.

But, anyway....

http://neic.usgs.gov/neis/eqlists/eqstats.html

Shows quake activity worldwide this year was perfectly normal. It doesn't break it down specifically to the Pacific Rim, but most quakes are always on the Pacific Rim.

Again, what gives you the idea that that many quakes (and it's actually a LOT more than "200 quakes" if you count all detected quakes it's into the many thousands) in the Pacific Rim is unusual? Some Apocalyptikook site?

If you are going to start a thread about every 4.0 or greater earthquake,
then you are going to be a very busy little ant.

Sometimes everything just settles down, EOD. But truthfully, no one knows.
