With Kate Brown as governor this is no time for any catastrophes. As with her handling of the Wuhan, her first thought is to attack the people.

Note that this is the East end of the Juan de Fuca plate which is the one sliding under the Cascadia Fault.

Fizer is right on it. It’ll take 3 more injections to avoid severe illness or death from earthquakes....so a fully vexxed person now will need 9 injections.
3 for Covid-19(2 regular, 1 booster)
3 for Moronic scariant
3 for earthquake scariant

Looks like it’s tapering off. Nothing in last two hours.

Oops, started back up again. In spite of what is being said about these quakes not affecting the Cascadia fault, this plate is the one sliding under the Cascadia.

It was a little disconcerting, when I was strolling along the beach road in Seaside, Oregon, to see all the little signs helpfully pointing out the tsunami evacuation route.

And all the bridges will be out. you have 20 minutes to run, swim the river, and run a lot more.

Like Mark Twain said, I want to know the time and date the earthquake is going to hit so I’m not in Portland.

The Coastal Mountains will block the tsunami. The tsunami will probably be the worst of it. But who knows what will happen.

You think YOU have problems? We have Reichsfuhrer Inslee. Lord knows what'd happen if the Cascadia lets fly while he's in office. Probably call for the arrest and imprisonment of all Christians.

LOL, you must not know Portland. Portland, as well as Seattle, will crumble, bridges down, power out, and loaded with Godless democrats. I’m on the Coast. better here than Portland.

I was thinking only of the tsunami, which would not be able to actually cross the Coastals. But you know more than I, being right there.

I crossed the Cascades twice and the Coastals many times.

Magnificent.

Crossed the Coastals one time with a flatbed truck right in front of us carrying a double bed, which made it look like a bed was crossing the mountains. Slowly! There were cheers when the bus driver finally got around the thing.

I so love Oregon. Skied there long ago on one of the Sisters. Love the people, who have the Western knack of helping you without showing that they’re helping you. “Should we take that mountain road or stay on the highway?” “Well you can take that road. Sun is going to set in a while though.”

I thought I’d see you here.

Someone, I thought on this thread but maybe another, posted a link to a New Yorker article featuring a geologist from OSU.

Somehow what I recall Mr. Alvey teaching us about wasn’t even discovered until the past decade?

Don Stensland taught geology at SWOCC for as long as I can remember. When mom was taking her nursing courses, and for years afterward, she was involved in his classes. The Cascadia Subduction Zone was always kind of taken for granted. Have you seen the submerged stumps at Sunset Bay?

Between those and the upthrust bluff at the south end of Sunset Beach, I’ve always figured Coos Bay was on borrowed time. And all of our emergency services are built on fill and there probably won’t be 100 yards of useable road in the county, anyway. No electricity, no treated water.... I can imagine a scenario in which cars are siphoned for chainsaw fuel, and wood heat is all we’ll have.

I fish the dune lakes, so I’ve studied them in topographic maps. It’s not difficult to envision the lakes inshore from the dunes...Eel Lake, Tenmile Lakes... being stream systems that were blocked off when the dunes were upthrust.
