Prayers for the folks there.
The last 9.0 strength earthquake off the Oregon coast was in January, 1700. Looking at 9 earthquakes since the time of Christ, approximately every 300 years one of these quakes hits.
Obviously, the next one is due soon based on the periodicity of previous events. The Emergency Planning Representative said due to the size of the earthquake, there likely would be no power and no official warnings. The large tsunami similar to Japan's 2011 event will hit the Oregon coast as soon as 15 minutes after the earthquake stops. In other words, the earthquake IS the tsunami warning.
The average Oregon resident will wait for the government to tell them a tsunami is coming. Many of the towns on the Oregon coast are located near rivers, just above sea level.
Based on the average person out here according to what I heard, they expect massive loss of life when the next big one happens. The Emergency Plan rep showed a video with the Japanese in 2011 ignoring warnings and watching the tsunami flood their town AND then they ran. MANY of them didn't make it.
