Cue the progressive doomsayers in Salem etc. on the ‘big one’ (cascadia) threat.
Irony: They’ve done NOTHING to prepare other than studious focus on applying for federal aid. Even the tsunami zone signs on the coast are a clusterfoxtrot, failing to highlight evacuation routes and putting people right in hazard areas.
These idiots STILL highlight the ‘9.0’ to hit Portland despite the public reality of 2011’s Tohoku shake zones and the glaring lack of extreme shake damage inland from said quake.
It’s all about dipping into $$ post-disaster, i.e., the 1906 lesson which frames all CA disaster responses (including the latest example: Palisades). Other leftist states - OR & WA included - watch with envy as OR now positions to profit from the WIC (Wildfire Industrial Complex) and all manner of skimming off the top.
I read that the Fire Aid raised over $100 Million.
But nobody knows where it went.........Least of all the victims..........
I wonder if Sarah Palin can see that volcano from her back deck.
Local police and fire are located low, on fill, served by roads that will liquefy in a big quake. And a tsunami from the right direction makes it moot...
