Oregon. May it crumble and rent asunder before your eyes.

“Oregon. May it crumble and rent asunder before your eyes.”

You are getting your wish. Many of us fought it for decades. They burned us out. They destroyed our DAMS and farming and infrastructure and ran us out of our homes.
The government has taken our lives. For decades we begged all of you for help and got crickets.

Your State is next.

Funny thing about this earthquake swarm expected around the Axial Seamount in the Rift Zone that is driving the - now overdue! - Mag 8.6 to 9.2 earthquake and tsunami off the BC-WASHINGTON-OREGON-NORCAL Cascadia Fault.

The USGS official earthquake records since 1920 report less than 16 earthquakes of any magnitude within a 100 km radius of the Axial Seamount.

Tens of thousands (literally) north and south of the Seamount, closer to shore and a few hundred further from shore, but less than 16 near the volcano itself.

Further south, just offshore of California’s Cape Mendocino, several dozens of small and medium earthquakes occur every week since the 5 Dec 2024 Mag 7.0 quake. So the Cascadia Fault remains loaded for trouble.

Like shotgun thrown in a fireplace, we just don’t know when it will be set off.

“It’s not a very explosive event. You won’t see the ash clouds above water, anything like that,” Kelly said.

Well, that's a little disappointing. You would in the Hollywood version.

“For decades we begged all of you for help and got crickets.”

Huh? How are WE supposed to help you fix YOUR Oregon mess? Many of us have huge messes in our own states and many are far worse than Oregon. Don’t tell me about your state’s problems — I’m in CA.

[Steve_Seattle]

I saw this same story three or four months ago. I guess the rumbling continues. Could be really bad if it blows.

“Bucket Brigade”

The good old days when we still had hope that standing up and fighting might do some good.

It didn’t. I would have been better off staying home with my family baking cookies than fighting for a nation full of people who don’t care. I lost everything including my children trying to protect their rights to a future.

I have never heard that before.... clicked into the next vid to see the players and was surprised with this! Cue’d in at the drum solo...

Because smart ass...you condemned us all! So don’t climb down my back!Shut up.

[AuntB]

Don’t reply to me. You are an idiot

When it does, LOOK OUT!

Oregon is beautiful. It’s a shame what was allowed to happen. It’s happening on a massive scale all over the west. Canada too. It’s well planned, orchestrated and funded. People still think it’s about voting. That’s why it’ll never be fixed.
