“...personal firearms and ammunition for keeping the numerous surviving ferals...”
There will be a lot of bodies from natural and unnatural causes. Shoveling won’t be enough. We’ll need a better way.
“Washington has had more earthquakes recently, so they’re better prepared.”, from the article.
The last “major quake” we had was centered near Olympia, WA about 40 miles away from us on February 28, 2001. It was a 6.8 and shook the house for quite a while. It did cause some damage to some structures in the area. It is a little hard to believe that even “earthquake proof” structures more than a story or two high would still be standing after a quake more than a thousand times more intense.
Downtown Seattle and many other low lying highly populated areas are built on top of soil that is prone to liquefaction when shaken violently, so they likely would be completely devastated. Yet our local politicians are playing this slight of hand trick with the global warming scam.
I prefer Idaho myself.
Of note:
A big tsunami will back up the Columbia, flooding all of Portland, out to the coast. And Seattle, especially West Seattle would flood due to the surge up the strait of Juan de Fuca.
Much of the Oregon and Washington coast is low, a dozen or so feet above sea level.
There’d be some real hell up there, no doubt.
Dreaded? Nah, try anticipated.
I still have a few friends living at La Quinta but maybe they will be out of Kalifornicator when the big one hits.
If not, collateral damage for the greater good.S/Off/On/Off/On.
6 more Senate seats? Sweet!
“Oregon had recorded no earthquakes since American pioneers colonized the territory in the nineteenth century, and the native population had no written records, but the earth itself keeps copious records of geologic events, once one knows where to look”
I graduated in 2002 from the Oregon Institute of Technology in Klamath Falls and I find this statement hard to believe. The rocky cliffs along Agency Lake north of Kfalls provide plenty of evidence of up thrusting. We studied these in my Geology class.
Also while I was there we had a 5.7 quake come rolling through one afternoon. Before that I had experienced a couple 4.0 + while living in Seattle in the late 90’s
I believed everything in that movie, except that the fate of humanity would be decided by the acting ability of John Cusack.
Sorry Jimbo.
At one point, I was actually cheering for the earthquake.......................
In Washington, that’s ONLY if Seattle, Tacoma, and Olympia are destroyed and they move the capital to Spokane.
Even though the fault is way offshore, if we get that ‘full 9 rip’, I’ll definitely feel it here. Seattle and Tacoma will get major damage and the coast will be destroyed by tsunamis.
I liked the Woody Harrelson character...................
Your right. For that kind of cataclysm the only prepping item would be a well worn bible.
karma...for all the horrid Oregon commie politics
If ‘karma’ is a motivating factor, then Washington also deserve it...in spades.
How far East of I-5? Since I’m 4 miles East, and two ridge lines North of the Columbia, and can see Mt St Helens on a mildly clear day, I’m mildly interested.
Good thing he made those movies before all the excitement. Otherwise they'd fall flat, like when satire fails because reality beat everyone to the punch.
One of the small Coastal towns in Oregon is doing well in preparation. Besides backup power and water and food they have ordered thousands of body bags.
We’ve got a few ghost trees at a local beach. Them, and the warped strata from events of 44 million years ago, and the deposits on top of them let you know that this too, shall pass.
I don’t know who they think is gonna fill them. I’m in Coos Bay. There’s a good bluff to the south, but the area from Charleston to Hauser pretty much screams tsunami zone.
