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 is since….. it’s not negotiable, it’s fact.
I’ve had many dreams about this for many years… I believe it…
As the article stated there is a large event every 240 so years….. With this one being at least half a century overdue. So no, you can’t predict but you can use deductive logic based on historical data and records.
I’m as worried about this as I am about man caused global warming
Being from Seattle and hearing about this potential “imminent” earthquake we might have any minute now is pretty much a monthly news item for us up here in the Pacific Northwest and has been for the last 10 years now. It has been 300 years since the last big quack rattled the Cascadia subduction zone and caused the damage we are now hearing from the New Yorker’s latest article as “imminent” but they are not telling us anything that the Seattle papers have not warned us about while prompting all of us to be prepared every month. We are probably like those of you living on the San Andreas fault lines or near Yellowstone and have been living with the threat of a major calamity for decades also. All we can do is be as prepared as humanly possible and pray that we never have to use our emergency precautions. Nothing will last forever but I for one am not sitting with my “Bug Out Bag” on my lap each day waiting for it to happen either. These stories sell magazines and News Papers and that is why this one was printed.

Psychos like you and your ilk are what makes many hate Republicans. Really, you want people to die because they are of a different political view than you? That’s just sick. And…..back to the point of this post which is science…go learn some…it’ll help you.
They can’t even stop for a minute to try to learn anything….sad really…even kind of scary that there are people like that.
Ih shut up.liberals have done more damage than 10 earth quakes could do
