Brandon is about 80 miles west of me. It has some fault lines associated with a coastal subduction zone and has frequent earthquakes but usually 4.5 at upper end. One of these days . . .
The Oregon one was right on the plate boundary.
Says it all.

Yep, I would suggest you get EQ insurance and make sure your evacuation plan and disaster supplies are up to date . . .

has a scenario of a magnitude 9 EQ that you might find of interest.
A more recent factoid we’ve heard from these folks at the Department of Minerals and Geology is that the southern half of the Cascadia fault ruptures at roughly double the frequency of the whole fault. The last great earthquake was in 1700 and regrettably the Pacific Coast, particularly southern Oregon/N California is overdue for the next one.
These folks are out talking to communities along the coast particularly about tsunami dangers - if they come to your area, it’s well worth it to give them a listen.
