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.

It could happen an hour from now or it could be a thousand years. You can’t predict earthquakes, but its funny how they predict an imminent m$#%&!@*ive earthquake at an active fault line. Of course it will happen. That’s where most earthquakes happen people….
Wait, i thought we were supposed to be worried about the drought?
