Fascinating and scary science story - the Pacific Northwest awaiting the greatest natural disaster in North American history.

THE REALLY BIG ONE - An earthquake will destroy a sizable portion of the coastal Northwest. The question is when.

Whilst not new news. It could be next week or in 2234. Geothermal stuff doesn't rush for anyone.

What a fantastic article. Thanks so much for sharing.

This already happened in Superman 1. It was taken care of.

A horrible flesh eating virus will wipe out 10% of the worlds population.

The question is when.

Bladewire · 07-19-2015, 08:32 AM

More people will die from falling between now and when that earthquake snips off the NW, than will actually die from the earthquake/land sliding into the ocean event. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Falling_(accident)

Falling is the second lead cause of death worldwide.

An ex-girlfriend of mine was an avid reader of The New Yorker. Read it front to back.

She sent me an article once about one of my favorite poker players. It was 5-6 pages long. I couldn't make it to the second page. I don't know if every article is like that, but this article was full of fluff. I'm more of a "give me the meat" sort of guy.

Works for me!

I always get annoyed when someone takes five minutes to tell you they took a nice bath last night.

This has been a big thing for quite a few decades. It's really odd how its somehow news today. They have been issuing the same dire warnings forever now. Earthquake abatement for homes (properly tying the home to the foundation) has been a huge industry in Seattle and surrounding areas and they've spent insane amounts of moment preparing bridges etc.

Bladewire · 07-19-2015, 09:55 AM

It's a slow news cycle and they need something to keep people afraid

every article i've read in it is like that. i couldn't power through entire editions like your girl did, i can't read that sort of style writing when i just want a good solid overview and details, i'm like you on that. but if they are covering a topic that interests me, then i do enjoy the read and usually feel it was time well spent. but yeah, it's a slow burn, and i also get completely sidetracked by the cartoons, trying to figure out what's so fucking funny about that cartoon?!

but re: the cascadia subduction zone, i don't see myself traveling back through that neck of the woods. you can tell by how hazardous the terrain there is already that when shit hits the fan there, it all goes bezerk.

Rochard · 07-19-2015, 01:00 PM

Earthquakes are scary. It's not the earthquake itself, it's the aftermath.

The article mentions the 1989 Loma Pireta earthquake. I was living about sixty miles away from the San Francisco / Oakland area, and the earthquake was scary enough. But the next few days were even worse. We had no phone, no power, and no transportation for three days. People do not think about this - You have nothing without power. Everything in your fridge goes to shit in hours, you cannot go to the store (no power means no stores) and you cannot even leave the area - downed power lines and you cannot buy gas.

Since then I've learned to keep a lot canned goods on hand, and lots of extra water and even fuel.

It doesn't even have to be an earthquake. Once power out for an entire day in Northern California, and a few years back most of my hometown here was evacuated because of a train fire. In Phoenix years ago there was a fuel shortage - a single pipeline that supplies most of the Phoenix area had a leak and was shut down and suddenly there was no gas to be found.

Be prepared ladies.

dyna mo · 07-19-2015, 01:22 PM

i doubt there will be an aftermath when the cascadia pops. they're all gonna die.

Far-L · 07-19-2015, 02:44 PM

"liquified earth" - that just blows me away.

Glad I moved east of the 5 and onto bedrock up on a hill. I was in Loma Prieta and that took Santa Cruz apart. I was on a street where houses that were unsecured to foundations literally bounced/walked into homes that were tethered down and crashed right through them.
