Although the geological evidence of the 1700 megathrust seemed solid, there were still some skeptics before Ludwin started finding Indian tales that supported the science.

Tribal folklore, Atwater said, "is important, because people understandably want human evidence as well as physical evidence."


What a load of PC garbage. Hard scientific evidence is not accepted until some vague tribal myths are added? Why rely on carbon-dating, tree rings or geological evidence when you can use some primitive tall tales handed down orally?

No kidding. I was somewhat enjoying this article until that was thrown in at the end. Scientific evidence isn't good enough. We need some mumbo jumbo hearsay legend crap, or we can't believe it.

Gimme a break.
