    Worse. This could be a trigger point for another Cascadia tsunami.

    Sitting here, 1/2 mile from the Central Oregon Coast, haven’t felt anything - yet. I’m just out of the tsunami zone.
 
To: RideForever
    I am by no means an expert when it comes to earth quakes but my hunch is that a series of smaller quakes, as in this case as the subduction takes place at the Cascadia fault line is more desirable; relieving the pressure gradually, than a single big move which could trigger a huge tsunami.

    And may be due to volcanic activity rather than due to plate subduction which leads to rip of the entire length from BC down to N California which generates the worse case Tsunami and the 9+ earthquake. There are also partial rips which generate smaller Tsunamis
I have volunteered at several Oregon State Parks on the coast the last few summers. I’m glad I’m not there now.

    10 meter vertical above sea level? Or far back from from the water?
Cascadia past regular earthquakes usually exceed magnitude 9.0 Occur every 200-400 years.
And the last was 300 years ago .
