[quote:shadasonic:MV8xNDQ3NzA2XzM1OTg3NzQwX0I0MjkwMTkw] [quote:Sol Neman:MV8xNDQ3NzA2XzM1OTcwNTE2XzNDM0UyQkU2] Has anyone thought about all the dams we've created since the last large EQ hit the West Coast? When there is a really big 9.5+ quake that hits (say Cascadia) what effect, if any, will there be on these dams? If the quake lasts more than a couple minutes (which is can happen with subduction quakes) I could see this causing many dams to fail and would create catastrophic flooding in addition to the tsunami. Potentially you would have millions of gallons of water trying to reach the Ocean at the same time that a tsunami would be coming in-land. Also, when all this water is released, it would take a massive amount of weight off on a particularly small area of the earth, in turn causing the crust to rebound which could cause even more quakes (similar theory as ice sheet rebound in New Madrid seismic zone) in addition to the massive after shocks that would occur after a 9.5+ quake. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Post-glacial_rebound Another thought, what happens if a large quake like that hits China and the Three Gorges Dam fails? That would be an inland tsunami of epic proportions! [/quote] Nice thought provoking post. Considering 60% of all dams in the US are nearing failure parameters it could be monumental. We're at the start of many events that will carry the realization of change to most. Any family on the northeast part of the country stay safe as I believe this storm nemo is going to be worse than they letting on. [/quote]

Its going around the ring... South America next.
UPDATE......UPDATE.....UPDATE
For anyone interested in Earthquake predictions:
I guessed 2 that have hit by looking at the above link and seeing a pattern. I'm talking above 4.0 Mags. Please take a look and tell me where you think the next one is going to be and why.
