Western Washington State has moved between 4 to 6-millimeters away from the mainland over the past week: seiumologist

Thousands of tiny tremors in the region are part of a predictable pattern of 'episodic tremor and shift'

These events are predictable, and not a sign of an impending earthquake.

“It doesn’t tell us that a ‘big one’ is going to happen, but it’s really a good reminder that this is an earthquake zone.”

Cassidy notes the type of earthquake people are referring to when they refer to ‘The Bing One’ is a magnitude 9 subduction quake, and we are in the geological “window” for one of those.

“It could happen tomorrow afternoon, it could happen in 500 years. It’s not something that can be determined on an exact basis,” he notes.

There have been 19 such quakes in the last 10,000 years. The last one was 320 years ago. Cassidy says the shortest time between two events was 250 years, while the longest was closer to 1,000.

The Pacific Northwest Seismic Network (PNSN) earthquake map has been consistently showing higher than normal earthquakes. I think the Cascadia Fault will rip before AOC’s fantasy.

I enjoy listening to Dutch, but he is bit of a crackpot.
