“Also while I was there we had a 5.7 quake come rolling through one afternoon.”
We felt that one in Grants Pass.
they’ve been predicting the ‘big one’ as beign imminent since the 1960’s why is this prediction so scecial? more chicken little?
Hmmm....guess I’m good. Right now, I’m sitting about 5 miles EAST of I-5, near Tacoma. Even better, when I get home, I’m on a HILL.
Edgar Cayce mentioned, as an aside, that when he would be reincarnated in 2100 or so, it would be in Nebraska, then the west coast of America.
“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.”
1. What do you do with them after they have been bagged? Stack them? Leave them in the bag long enough and they’ll decompose and you’ve got a bag full of...diseased mess. It will probably keep the flys off though. What about animals? Can they tear through the bag to get what’s inside?
2. That doesn’t help me if I’ve got two or three bodies on my front porch/in my front yard as the result of resisting looters trying to take what little I have. Of course I’ll no longer care if one of those bodies is mine, but somebody will.
Never fear. The US and especially CA have been such great stewards of taxpayer money with their careful budgeting, there is plenty of money in reserve such that a disaster of this magnitude will not have a noticeable financial impact.
NOT!!!!
I had just finished a class and a bunch of were standing in a hallway. We could hear it coming and when it hit us it seemed like it lifted the floor 2 feet and slammed it back down. It literally was a roller. No prolonged shaking.
If the date of the earthquake was 1700, that was only several years before the Lewis and Clark expedition of discovery, and the natives surely would have experienced it. Has anyone seen any mention of this in their journals as told to them by the natives?
An even more prudent person living in California would just leave the state entirely.
We only have 12 years...oh wait this really would be climate change!
The year 1700 was more than a century before Lewis & Clark.
“I don’t know who they think is gonna fill them.”
I suspect the “who” will be the dead filling the bags.
(OK the survivors will put the dead in)
Do a search for Oregon Tsunami Map. The state has some pretty good maps to show the extent of the tsunami
To "avoid" the big one? That's like moving to the moon to avoid oxygen deprivation.
Washington state, and Washington DC!
If I know local gubment, all the bags are stored in the new fire department and city hall. They will not be available, should a locally sourced tsunami hit Coos Bay.
“Needless to say, I worry about relatives in California.”
Me too, especially the little children. There would be no way to get to them fast enough if something happened to their parents.
Given you've seen (?) evidence of up thrusting, I wonder how that squares with the article's implication that "ghost forests" are the result of the coastline sinking.
Beats me. I figured it was from the tsunamis. Kfalls is 100× miles inland.
