Thanks Strategerist, I wish the USGS and the emergency services here where I am would be as specific as you. I’m on the south/central Oregon coast straight in from the subduction zone in an official “tsunami danger area”.
After seeing this on FR, I called 911, this would be about 20 minutes after the quake, and they said, “What earthquake?” I told them to check with USGS and take a look online. We’ve been taxed to put in ridiculous 1950’s technology warning sirens, like air-raid sirens. But when the people in charge are clueless, no one will sound the siren.
Problem with Oregon, especially the coast, is almost everybody’s on pot, so hard to get good response in an emergency. Thank heavens for FR and folks like you.
Oh Wow! Just like terrorism it is the common citizen who must take charge.
