Western Oregon is FUUUUUUUUUUUCKED when Cascadia goes off!

Yes, we are toast. The sad thing is that most people here don't have a clue.

Stay safe...

Always have a floating device near you...

And since the earthquake will be of long duration... stay away/get the fuck out the TALL buildings...

The short buildings should be safer...

And by tall, I mean, more than 4 stories high.

I always feel suspicious that nothing really ever happens here in Oregon. It makes me feel like one of the biggest disasters ever will hit us by huge surprise one of these days. Most everyone here has a false sense of security. I'm glad I don't live near the water.

I am so moving or getting a floating home.

Just watched doc a few days ago that talked about the old brick buildings being especially vulnerable. I look out at the Pacific on the central Oregon coast. It amazes me that so many people look at me like I'm crazy when I talk about preparedness. When the Cascadia subduction goes there will be little time to make a plan. For me the Japanese tsunami was a wake up call.

Isn't that the real contaminated Area from F'Shima?

They should evacuate at least the Children
and the Girls can come here to work in Roppongi!

we are all fucked fukishima went off

I'll let you guys know if we all die.

Isn't that area where all the liberals and third world types congregate?

Fuck 'em.

Guys, an earthquake, measuring over Magnitude 8.0, will strike at any major fault lines, by November 14 2012. Source? Elessa, my online contact.

Well actually we little Oregonians are going to be fine. The 1700 Cascadia earthquake was about a 8.7-9.2 and we managed just fine. It was Japan that got hit with Tsunami, not us.

none too many white settlers in Oregon around 1700.

Portland was established around 1850

Sandy soils prone to liquefaction.

Same here. When my husband was still alive, we used to go to Manzanita every year for 4th of July. It was our one "big" vacation every year, and we thoroughly enjoyed it. The year he passed away I went back once more, thinking that perhaps he would sort of "be there" since it had been such a big part of our lives. Well, he wasn't "there" at all, it was just depressing seeing everyone else having such a good time, and I spent the whole weekend looking out to sea and wondering if I'd be able to see a tsunami if it were racing across the ocean. Then at night I lay in bed, worried that I'd sleep through the tsunami alarms if they were to go off.

I could hardly wait to get the hell out of there, and haven't been back since. I felt a lot better once I had a mountain range between me and the ocean!

Actually I misread the post I quoted, I was thinking about the tsunami that happended on Christmas in Indonesia. That was when I really started becoming aware of tsunamis.

and ONE DAY OFF OF the QUAKE WARNING posted in August

again

Thread: MAJOR 7.4 (8.2 high readings) hits 1 day off 11/9 Major Quake Warning posted in August!

Remarkable

We'll manage in Portland. I'm more worried about a nearby mountain, like Mt. Hood, blowing its top.

Isn't Japan Contaminated from Fukushima? Or Are some Areas Safe?

you are so wrong

natives on west coast of BC started building their communities on higher ground after Cascadia let go in 1700..
do some more research.....
they say tsunami waves could top 100 feet .....
Oregon will vanish....

People in the PCNW need to be reminded that they live in a Volcano Range. NOT a mountain range.
