Amazon 7 #4 January 16, 2004 Uh I have been in more than one 7+.... I do NOT need a repeat of that.. this one was just a little roll.. BUT historically in the NW there is paleo-evidece of 9+ Hope this is not a precursor Cascadia Earthquakes and Tsunami Hazard Studies Recent geologic findings indicate that earthquakes generated within the Cascadia subduction zone pose a significant hazard to urban areas of the Pacific Northwest. Evidence gleaned from syntheses of global subduction-zone attributes as well as from local tsunami deposits have been interpreted to suggest that great earthquakes have rocked the Pacific Northwest perhaps as recently as 300 years ago. Geodetic-leveling data indicate that a large patch of the interplate decollement (the main fault between the North American Plate and the subducting oceanic plate) off southern Oregon is locked. This and other evidence has led to proposals that an earthquake with a magnitude as large as 9 could someday devastate the region. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Amazon 7 #6 January 16, 2004 Hey you gotta be TOUGH to live up here.. don't forget HIGH suicide rate due to S.A.D.( Seasonal Affected Disorder. Snow and Ice storm last week.. raining all this week.. BUT I did get in 7 jumps last weekend. I like landing at the airport at Snohomish.. accuracy COUNTS.. bwahahaha The ice storm was really hard on the special little poplar hybrids they are growing for pulpwood for the papermills.. whole stands of them fell over from being covered in ice. See all of this bad stuff does serve the purpose... it keeps most of the Californians at home Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Michele 1 #17 January 16, 2004 Hi, Jeanne... EQ's in the PNW are not uncommon...and the mag is rather normal for the region. Here's a link (EQ's in the NW) that will show ongoing, current activity. The consideration would be if they cluster near/on one of the volcanos. But that doesn't look like it's happening... As for you, WrongWay, Ohio can get eq's. One of the largest faults in the US rolls through Ohio, and pretty much the entire center of the contiguous US. HAH! for you. They are infrequent, but they do happen there, as well. Here's a link....Ohio Seismicity. Actually, eq's can happen anywhere, but that's a whole 'nother post.... Ciels- Michele edited to add Ohio link. ~Do Angels keep the dreams we seek While our hearts lie bleeding?~ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Casurf1978 0 #18 January 16, 2004 Biggest one I've been in was El Salvador 1985, 7.6 mag. I will always remember the rumbling/roar noise I heard a few seconds before it started shaking. Then moved to Los Angeles and slept through the 1994 Northridge quake. My step dad waking me up scared the crap out of me though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
