Someone better tell Congress so they can have it outlawed, too...

"The plates have been slowly jamming into each other. Dziak said one boundary among them appears to be turning into a fault that's more like the San Andreas Fault to the south in California."
The new fault will be called..."Bush's Fault"

Maybe Seattle does NOT need to rebuild the Viaduct after all?

These guys don't know cr@p (not that I'm saying I do) but they are not considering thrust faults at all. Sure, they may see one plate rubbing against another with little swarming quakes, but they can't measure the pressure distributed over a wider area, which may result in a Northridge or Kobe styled thrust quake.

This article is trying to imply that earthquakes may be less severe in the future because the plates are changing. A good thing to remember is that this means that they may be less severe in a geological period of time, not 10 or 50 years from now. The faults along Washington and Oregon are still just as dangerous as they were in 1700 when the last mega-thrust earthquake struck.

Isn't that what Tectonic Plates is supposed to do, move slowly?
