Scientists say NW overdue for giant earthquake
[link to www.katu.com]

by KATU Web Staff
PORTLAND, Ore. - Scientists are urging city planners and emergency services to get ready for the Big One.

They say an earthquake of magnitude 9.0 or greater is overdue for the Northwest, and that the area is not prepared for the aftermath of such a powerful temblor.

Using geological records and historical data, scientists estimate that a huge quake hits the area every 500 years or so. They added that the last big quake on the fault line was over 500 years ago.

The quake is expected to strike the Cascadia Subduction Zone, an active fault line under the Pacific Ocean that runs as close as 20 miles to the Northwest shorelines.

Scientists say that when - not if - the earthquake takes place, the consequences could resemble the devastation that struck Indonesia in December of 2004 after an 8.9 magnitude quake hit off the coast in the Indian Ocean.

Over 200,000 people were killed after tsunamis unleashed by the quake hit along coastlines in several countries around the Indian Ocean.

Scientists say the conditions off the Oregon and Washington coastlines are similar to the setting in Indonesia, and tsunami waves should be expected after the big quake.

Several communities along the Oregon coastline have evacuation plans in effect if a tsunami warning is sounded. But scientists say the devastating effects of such a large earthquake could stretch inland to major metropolitan areas as well.

State Geologist Vicki McConnell says that besides coastal tsunamis, people should expect massive damage to buildings, bridges and highways if a large quake hit the ocean fault line.

Re: Scientists say NW overdue for giant earthquake
Hmm.... this is only discovered now? What were they doing with that data previously? Using it for a goot rest?

Incidentally itīs not a "tremblor" but a "temour".
Likewise it isnīt "expiration date", itīs "expiry date".

Tut tut... the state of English language education these days... like kids learning to read.

Re: Scientists say NW overdue for giant earthquake
O.K. consider this article and bingo we have California falling into the ocean like prophecy.


In March of 1980, John J. Williams, a New Mexico "Patriot" who published the anti-Communist oriented "REBEL MAGAZINE" (at the time available from: Consumertronics Co., c/o John J. Williams. Pres., 2011 Crescent Dr., P.O. Drawer 537., Alamogardo, NM 88310) revealed some incredible details on an alleged subterranean system which the Navy had been exploring below the western United States. The report appeared in issue No. 6 of his magazine, and was later reproduced in the Fall, 1985 (#164) issue of SEARCH Magazine, at the time edited by Marjorie Palmer, widow of the late Ray Palmer. The article, titled īCALIFORNIA FLOATS ON OCEAN?ī, revealed the following:

"Some time ago, I heard a man on a TV interview-show briefly mention that parts of California and neighboring states are floating on the Pacific Ocean! He was a high ranking Naval officer on a top- secret nuclear submarine that has been (and is) exploring and mapping these enormous caverns and passage-ways underneath the West for over 10 years now.

"A friend of mine finally tracked the man down. He is now living quietly in retirement and asked that no details pointing to him be revealed as he does not want publicity and government attention. After writing this article, I destroyed my files on him. This is his story..."

Williams explains that not "all" of the areas in question are actually "resting" or "floating" on the ocean, however there are allegedly many subterranean cavities below the western U.S., and they are not limited to California, and many of them consist of very large water-filled aqua-systems. These have been explored via nuclear submarines to several hundred miles inland, particularly in the region of southern California and the southern Oregon - northern California area. Williams continues:


"...When he retired several years ago, in spite of about 10 years of intensive Naval study, the Navy had not gotten even a handle on their exacts and dimensions. Today, the story may be different.
"He makes the following statements from his observations:


"1. The passageways are labyrinthine with widths from a few
to thousands of feet (caverns), averaging roughly about a 100
feet.

"2. Much like dry caverns do, heights and depths vary a
great deal and in some cases, two or more caverns or
passageways pass over or under each other at different
depths.

"3. Most of the entrances lie just off the Continental Shelf
(ie. in the Continental Slope - Branton).

"4. Most of the entrances are too small for submarine
investigation; and many that are large enough lie in waters
that are too deep.

"5. Some of the caverns (in S. California) are topped with
oil while some others are filled with gases believed to
approximate our atmosphere (in very ancient times).

"6. The San Joaquin Valley is essentially a portion of the
original cavernous area that collapsed eons ago due to itīs
sheer weight.

"7. What is being passed off as the īSan Andreas Faultī are
large, unsupported chambers that are in the process of
collapsing. When the BIG ONE finally hits, many scientists
in the know believe that most of California will break off
like a cold Hershey bar and slide into the ocean! (it is
postulated by some that an ancient land-mass which some
believe may have been connected to what is now California,
broke off and sunk into the ocean during an ancient cataclysm
- Branton)

"8. (We are deleting this section due to the possibility of
undue stress and fear which may result from itīs disclosure.
Also, because of recent international events which may have
resulted in a solution to this problem. We will merely state
that it involves a scenario similar to that which was
portrayed in a James Bond movie, and which concerned
underground caverns, silicon valley, nuclear weapons, and the
San Andreas fault - Branton).

"9. A WELL-KNOWN U.S. nuclear submarine lost its way in
these passages and disappeared forever. It was reported to
have been lost IN OPEN SEA ELSEWHERE to keep the American
people in total ignorance and to justify an enormous pay-off
to an eccentric U.S. billionaire (who died in recent years)
for providing the fictitious "recovery" effort.

Re: Scientists say NW overdue for giant earthquake
Bring it on! Tried of all the promises. Rent is over due, lay off from work, no medical, food and gas is going through the roof. I want a huge eq, to break off the west coast line, and fall into the sea. I will live Under the Sea!

Ariel, listen to me. The human world, itīs a mess.
Life under the sea is better than anything they got up there.

The seaweed is always greener
In somebody elseīs lake
You dream about going up there
But that is a big mistake
Just look at the world around you
Right here on the ocean floor
Such wonderful things surround you
What more is you lookinī for?

Under the sea
Under the sea
Darling itīs better
Down where itīs wetter
Take it from me
Up on the shore they work all day
Out in the sun they slave away
While we devotinī
Full time to floatinī
Under the sea

Down here all the fish is happy
As off through the waves they roll
The fish on the land ainīt happy
They sad īcause they in their bowl
But fish in the bowl is lucky
They in for a worser fate
One day when the boss get hungry
Guess whoīs gonī be on the plate

Under the sea
Under the sea
Nobody beat us
Fry us and eat us
In fricassee
We what the land folks loves to cook
Under the sea we off the hook
We got no troubles
Life is the bubbles
Under the sea
Under the sea
Since life is sweet here
We got the beat here
Naturally
Even the sturgeon anī the ray
They get the urge īnī start to play
We got the spirit
You got to hear it
Under the sea

The newt play the flute
The carp play the harp
The plaice play the bass
And they soundinī sharp
The bass play the brass
The chub play the tub
The fluke is the duke of soul
(Yeah)
The ray he can play
The lings on the strings
The trout rockinī out
The blackfish she sings
The smelt and the sprat
They know where itīs at
Anī oh that blowfish blow

Under the sea
Under the sea
When the sardine
Begin the beguine
Itīs music to me
What do they got? A lot of sand
We got a hot crustacean band
Each little clam here
know how to jam here
Under the sea
Each little slug here
Cuttinī a rug here
Under the sea
Each little snail here
Know how to wail here
Thatīs why itīs hotter
Under the water
Ya we in luck here
Down in the muck here
Under the sea

BTW,
Is a temblor a percussion instrument? If so, you will have a job here,

Re: Scientists say NW overdue for giant earthquake
The entire planet is filled with underground caverns, rivers, lakes, and passagways so tell me something new. California Uber Alles. I cant wait until we break off from this god-forsaken nation and become the true Bear Republic.
