The Internet has been buzzing with an article from The New Yorker that got picked up and reported by Fox News on an imminent, massive earthquake that threatens to take down the Pacific Northwest.
It seems that this mega-quake is about 75 years overdue – it has been striking the area for the last 10,000 years around every 240 years.
So it’s not a question of ‘if’, but ‘when’.
When it does strike it will take down everything west of Interstate 5, including Seattle, Tacoma, Portland, Eugene, Salem, Olympia – home to around seven million people.
The coming quake will register somewhere between 8.7- 9.2 and will create a gigantic, 100ft high tsunami that will also cause considerable destruction.

I’m astounded at the lack of comp$#%&!@*ion. It has nothing to do with liberals or conservatives. I have family who live there and it terrifies me that they may not be able to save themselves when this happens. You never know when something will affect you. It will not be because they chose this, it will be because of the earth moving. It will be unpredictable. What if your family were there. It will not be California, it will be Oregon and Washington State.
I remember being young and they were saying the west coast will fall off. One of the reasons why I never moved out there.

Ok, to all the “experts” on this subject: What will happen if/when this C$#%&!@*cadia earthquake hits, full length and depth as stated (9.2 or greater) Question for discussion is ; What effect will this event have on the Yellowstone caldera?
The wesco boot company is out that way! Guys pack it up and head inland.
@[654597996:2048:Randy Alejandro Hielo] is this what you guys were talking about?
Yup
Actually, the Pacific Ocean plate has pushed up on top of the NA plate many times in the last 200 million years; that’s how the Rocky Mountains were created. Soon Devastate as in 10 million years, maybe.
Hope it happens it will get rid of a lot of liberals as well as illegals. It can only be good for the country.
