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.

This, coupled with increased activity of the Yellowstone Cauldron, could result in one natural disaster triggering another. As these plates subduct it changes the pressure for hundreds of miles in relation to how one plate pushes against another. Yellowstone itself has risen recently more than 10′. The two events happening simultaneously or very closely after the other, could realistically destroy around 1/3 of our country.
This is something I learned about 16 years ago and then again in 2009. My cl$#%&!@*es in oceanography and geology here around the PNW focused on our specific geology, including the that which caused the Oso disaster. This will be nasty one.
Its Seattle, who cares. They can just reraise minimum wages to help rebuild. Yea right……
On the positive side California would not have a drought problem to deal with along with the liberal electoral college
Maybe it takes all the liberals of these states with it one can only hope
“It’s gonna happen SOON…..!”
These are GEOLOGIST talking!!!
“Geologically Speaking”,….100,000 years is a blink of a eye!!!
To bad it’s not under the White house!!
Only God Knows When Things Will Happen.
They keep saying this. It was supposed to happen back in the 80’s too. Another distraction.
