Annals of Seismology JULY 20, 2015 ISSUE

The Really Big One

An earthquake will destroy a sizable portion of the coastal Northwest. The question is when.
...........
If the entire zone gives way at once, an event that seismologists call a full-margin rupture, the magnitude will be somewhere between 8.7 and 9.2. That’s the very big one.

Libs will soon get their secession demands with a huge earthquake. California will break away from the continent and become it’s own island.

Bigfoot turns to Mrs. Bigfoot: “Did the earth move for you too, darlin’?”
She sez, “Bigly! Must be the Trump effect!”

This quake was near the south end of the Cascadia Subduction Zone.
Hope this wasn’t a precursor to a “Full 9 Rip”.
(That’s what seismologists have nicknamed a full rupture of the Cascadia, producing an M9.0 all the way along it.)

I heard something about California leaving the union. Is this it?

I bet you didn’t know that the city of San Francisco is on the “mainland” side of the San Andreas fault?

Decades ago, I attended Skyline College, a newly built community college in San Bruno. Not all the buildings were built yet, it was so new. Lots of open land atop a hill, overlooking the Pacific Ocean, very beautiful. Wonderful, until I found out it was built on top of the San Andreas Fault. Driving a couple blocks north on an exit road, you could see a deep canyon through the hill that pointed to the Pacific Ocean where the fault dives below the water to the west of San Francisco. A couple decades later, that empty canyon had a new subdivision of homes built in it. I would never buy one of those homes.
