As a California native, I’d say the Pacifc Northwest quakes seem to have far more potential for destruction. Scarey!

“While those sound big, they aren’t the big one by any means.”

You are right, they aren’t really very big. I live in an earthquake-prone area. In an area with enforced building codes, there is probably very little if any damage.

Probably PDJT’s fault...tah hut!

Or, simply the weight of all the cash the Chinese have brought to the area, or the money counting machines vibrations...

The Cascadia subduction zone could easily generate an 8.0 quake. Thousands could die.

I gotta add the political connection:

By the way, the first in 2016 was a MAGA 6.6 the second in 2018 was a MAGA 6.8
