The biggest Earthqake will be when the book of Revelation is fulfilled. The whole Earth will crumble.

Now. That written, the most expensive earthquake to occur (so far) will be the Mag 8+ earthquake and tsunami now overdue off of Oregon and Washington west coast.

These trip off regularly every 300 to 320 years off of the coast, causing 8 to 12 meter high tsunamis every time.

And the last was recorded very precisely- by Japanese tax records in January 1700. Because they recorded the various Japanese villages destroyed by the tsunami that night.

No. It is the offshore Cascadia fault that trips off regulatly with a Mag 8 every 300 years.

Those others are big, but far more random. Yellowstone, for example, trips off every 500,000 years. Plus or minus 200,000 years.

Good numbers. Thank you.

Good Friday. Yeah I’ve seen several documentaries about that one. That was one huge earthquake! Can’t imagine experiencing that. You must have thought the world was literally coming to an end.

There are so many natural causes and natural accidents that can kill us, it’s surprising anyone is left alive. :^)

“whoopee, we’re all gonna die”.

And after the first year of crop failures for much of the world, then the wars (nuclear?) will begin as countries take over the remaining areas to grow crops. Not everyone will die, but it will sure be a changed world afterwards.

[Carriage Hill]

You got it.

There’s like a 20k year window, so it may take a while.................
