Well, this might be one way to deal with the Liberal problem on the West Side.

Just thinking that's going to eliminate about 7 Democrat seats, 3 from Washington and 2 from Oregon.
That'll smart.

Many major cities are threatened by earthquakes.
San Francisco, Los Angeles, and other parts of Calif. are vulnerable to big quakes. San Diego has some smaller fault lines.
Salt Lake City is on an earthquake fault.
As mentioned, Seattle and Portland are vulnerable in the Pacific Northwest.
The New Madrid Fault in southeastern Missouri can produce large quakes. A major quake there would cause some major damage as far away as St. Louis or Memphis.
Charleston, South Carolina sits on a fault line.
New York and Boston sit on fault lines too, but experts think quakes there would be milder than quakes elsewhere.

Still, outside of a few gigatons of spew from Big Bear (a massive volcano upon whose broad shoulders both LAX and SDA rest (kinda) the areas South of those mountains in Camp Pendleton have been geologically stable for millions of years. Those rocks just sitting there ready to roll down the hills DON'T!
The periodicity of this shaking between Stumptown and Vancouver is about 300 years. The last hit was in 1700. It's now 2009 ~ time to MOVE!

Seattle is so screwed if/when it hits. Their highways are elevated waaay up above the ground. There infrastructure is complete toast when it happens.

Question: Are earthquake computer models better or worse than climate change forcasting models?

early findings suggest a mega-earthquake could strike closer to Tacoma and Seattle than earlier thought
Gotta be due to global warming, the Exxon Valdez, and the Bilderbergers.
