Steve -
Thanks, I’m sure you are correct. But technically I’m sure you don’t actually disagree - as all is said was, “Some say...”
I phrased it that way because I cannot state that myself.
:-)
A 9.2 implies that the Cascadia Subduction Zone would be the culprit.
The other day, Glenn Beck started out with “the bad news first” and said Kalifornia might slide off into the Pacific...then said, “Oh wait, I was going to start out with the bad news”...
predicts 9.2 West Coast quake in September 2020
This one rates a sho-nuff GOLLeeee!
If the entire 650-mile long Cascadia Subduction Zone (which includes the Juan de Fuca plate) were to experience a full rupture, it could not only trigger a 9.0 earthquake, but a tsunami as well.
The Juan De Fuca plate stretches from Northern California to British Columbia and the Cascadia Subduction Zone stretches from N. Vancouver Island to Cape Mendicino, California.
